What a night...and of prog too!  Last in the personal festival polls (promise).  This was to be the last of the free Stonehenge Festivals and those who were there look back at it fondly.  I arrived just before the solstice so I may have missed something of this list (Alan Stivell?)  I also saw an early version of the Ozrics at some stage.
* 'Official' Cardiacs releases were still in the future - but this was self-produced at the time and subsequently reissued.
** There had been a release since, 'The Earth Ritual preview' EP but this was the last album before the festival (which also marked Alan Davey's first appearance with the band)

Something Wicked for me. 
Hawkwind had become a pop band by then.

The Enid - Something Wicked This Way Comes - which is also the name of a dark fantasy movie starring Jonathan Pryce.

I haven't heard of Here & Now before, so I'm going to check them out, right Here and right Now. They sound like my kind of music, and they're British too! Smile

Man played too, the same evening as Here & Now.. I didnt enjoy SH 84 as much as 82 and 83 (when i spent the whole of June thereWacko) It had got too heavy (maaan) with some unpleasant stuff going down and too big and rather destructive of the site and areas nearby..
Anyway out of these i'll have to say Here & Now and Roy Harper (though 'work of heart' was nearly 2 years old by that point and not a favourite of mine). 'Fantasy shift' tracks sound fantastic live but the studio lp sounds flat and boxy to me.. shame.

No doubt this is the ultimate Stonehenge.

Get ready for the 40 year anniversary movie, Spinal Tap II, to be released in 2024.

I watched Here and Now but I don't remember a thing about Man, but it was Stonehenge.  I remember watching the Poison Girls the same evening.  Yes, I felt I had missed out on earlier 'henges.

I love "Choose Your Masques," but I'm also that guy who loves '80s Hawkwind.

The Enid, all the way. A quote from Shakespear's Scottish play, a great album, a great novel by Bradbury, and a great film version from 1983. Alan Stivell performing at Stonehenge would be among the best things ever.

it is the name of a novel by Ray Bradbury (as far as I know the movie is based on it) and originally a Shakespeare quote from the opening scene of "Macbeth" with the three witches:

"by the pricking of my thumbs
something wicked this way comes"

Looking forward to that!   Having seen them live twice now, they're about as real a fictitious band as you can be.  

The sequel should be titled Spinal Tap 11
