2nd British Rock Meeting, May 1972.

Описание: This video is a compilation of pictures & memorabilia from the 2nd British Rock Meeting, 3 day music fest.

The second British Rock Meeting was suppose to take place on Friesenheimer Island in Mannheim, Germany; however, the Mannheim
city council opposed it and MAMA Concerts had to change the venue.
The early blue posters still show Mannheim as the festival location.

New posters were printed in red after the promoters found an alternate site to hold the festival.

MAMA Concerts first tried to relocate the festival to Korsika and then to the racetrack in Hockenheim, but strong reaction from the city councils made these sites unacceptable.

After much searching, the concert promoters were finally able to relocate the festival to Insel Grün (Green Island), in Germersheim.

Even then, it looked like the festival would not happen as Germersheim city officials began having second thoughts about allowing so a large festival to be held on Insel Grün and issued a police order against the festival the day prior to its start. City officials relented however after eleventh hour talks with the festival organizers, the mayor of Germersheim, and a top Rheinland Pfalz state official.

Over 70,000 people attended this 4-day festival, and 35 bands performed there, including Pink Floyd, Uriah Heep, Status Quo, Lindisfarne, and Rory Gallagher.
