- Das Bath Festival of Blues war ein Musikfestival, das am Samstag, dem 28. Juni 1969, im Recreation Ground in Bath stattfand. Es traten bekannte britische Blues- bzw. Bluesrock-Bands auf, darunter Fleetwood Mac, John Mayall‘s Bluesbreakers, Ten Years After, Led Zeppelin, The Nice, Chicken Shack, Jon Hiseman‘s Colosseum, Mick Abrahams‘ Blodwyn Pig und Principal Edwards Magic Theatre. Das Festival wurde von Fred und Wendy Bannister auf Anfrage der Bath Festival Society organisiert, die bis dahin Club-Konzerte in London, Oxford und Bath veranstaltet hatten. Die Zahl der Besucher wird auf 12.000 geschätzt, andere Berichte sprechen von 30.000. Der Eintritt für den ganzen Tag betrug 18 Shilling und Sixpence, für den Abend allein 14 Shilling und Sixpence. Die Vorführungen fanden auf zwei Bühnen statt. Beim Auftritt von The Nice, die vier Dudelsackpfeifer dabei hatten, brach der Bühnenboden unter der Belastung. Während des nachfolgenden Auftritts von Led Zeppelin auf der anderen Bühne wurde der Schaden repariert. 1970 fand als Nachfolger das Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music statt. (de)
- The Bath Festival of Blues was a music festival held at the Bath Pavilion Recreational Ground in Bath, Somerset, England, on Saturday 28 June 1969. It featured a lineup of British blues bands, including Fleetwood Mac (the headliners), John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Ten Years After, Led Zeppelin, The Nice, Chicken Shack, Jon Hiseman's Colosseum, Mick Abrahams' Blodwyn Pig and Principal Edwards Magic Theatre amongst others. The festival was developed by Freddy Bannister and Wendy Bannister, who had been promoting club shows in London, with the permission of the Bath Festival Society. The festival was organised very simply with tables at the gates and screens to prevent people getting in for free, all the bands used the Pavilion as a back stage area. However, despite the very limited security the fans did not present a hazard and were generally well behaved. The festival proved very popular, selling out all 30,000 tickets in the first week, surprising both the townsfolk and the promoters. The only major problem occurred when The Nice's use of bagpipers caused the stage to collapse and had to be repaired. The festival was well received and both the promoters and the Bath Chamber of Commerce were keen to put on another festival the next year, becoming the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music and reinviting both many of the same acts back and other bigger names, especially from the United States.
