Somehow we got into the backstage area behind the stage. Canned Heat were playing and I wanted to see them. I climbed on stage from behind and the first thing I noticed was a roadie kneeling on the floor and holding the cymbal stands. Otherwise they would have been blown away by the wind.

Canned Heat were just playing slow blues. A few days ago their guitarist had died and that's what they told in every song. They were still completely in shock.

Later we met Alexis Korner and that was our luck. Because the organizers were not present at all and nobody was there who could give us any information. Alexis was the good soul of the festival and probably also its salvation. During the breaks he was always on stage with his guitar, played a par blues tune and made sure there were good vibrations on the square. And behind the stage he took care of the other musicians. He took us by the hand and drove with us into a pension. We were totally exhausted from the long drive, but we still sat and talked with him until four in the morning.

I can still remember Limbus because we were friends with them, and then Ton Steine Scherben came and the stage started to burn. The only thing left for us then was to get on the bus and let's go. That's when I realized the check wasn't covered.
