Sunbury 1974

Movietone newsreel for Sunbury music festival, Australia 1974. Mainly crowd shots, and I'm not sure what bands are featured in the short stage shots. Or what the main music track is! Feel free to share the info if you know.

More details about the festival at http://www.milesago.com/festivals/sunbury74.htm and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunbury_Pop_Festival#1974

@discynic they McKenzie's Theory were on the alternative stage up near the back. I saw them there. They were hot.

Kush was playing (and maybe others too). I recognised Jeff Duff from Kush. One of the backing singers on the video was Margaret Cook from The Cookies. A little girl near the stage was singer Linda George's daughter Rebecca. I was a Sunbury Pop Festival "veteran" and now am involved in looking after the site for the local council!

McKenzie Theory featured electric violin, a la Flock, I'm fairly sure?

The ftute sound is similar to Taman Shud.? ( Morning of the earth album) Maybe ? Why, because I have the album.
