The Beach Boys in their best live line-up. Ricky and Blondie were great additions.

Brilliant, I was there I was 21, I've just turned 21 for the 3rd time! They were great gigs at Crystal Palace, so much great music.Would love to see Lou Reed gig amongst so many more, Happy Daze. Thanks Mike.

I was there . pissed down with rain but we had a blanket to get stoned under . My first one day "festival "

Thanks for posting this online. The best London outdoors music venue. I saw Bob marley and the wailers played at the Palace Park june7th in London 1980.i went with my brother phill and his mate Ian very good gig and a great day out. The lineup was bob marley and the wailers. The average white band .the Joe Jackson band and the q tips with Paul Young. The tickets £10.50 each nice one one

Love that bluesy Help Me, Rhonda.

Saw Bob Marley, Average White Band & Joe Jackson and the Q Tips there in 1980...👍🎸

Oh wow ! We were there too ! Have never ever forgotten such a great day - the rain and mud somehow added to make it a memorable day. Just 19 years old then .... take me back !!!!

I was at this gig and we blagged our way into the recording studio/caravan where they were recording The Beach Boys. We were gobsmacked when we saw Elton on camera playing keyboards. It was a great day, despite the weather.

brings back great memories i was there been looking for this film for ages ,melanie was also great .got a bit wet ,keith moon also turned up on a hovercraft accross the lake ,

My wife grew up going to CP for concerts and she was at the BB concert.

I was working at this concert. Looking after the photographers at the front of the stage. I worked on some of the other crystal palace concerts.

wow what a time to be at this gig

I was there, it rained but what a great day out.

Wow, Daryl Dragon sighting too.

beach boys are awsome

I went to the bowl in 1984 - must have been mid September after I got back from working the summer season in Devon. Remember seeing Orange Juice and the Frank Chickens !!

the beach boys in the pooring rain

Looking in vain for footage of Yes's set - I was there at the tender age of 18........ Astonishingly good concert!!!

BB la más grande banda americana de todos los tiempos 🇺🇸❤️

Ricky Fatar aka Stig O'Hara on the drums.

Was this the same concert that Richie Havens played (boring); Melanie (brilliant); and as the rain stopped and the sun started shining, Sha Na Na came in progression down the hill and took the show by storm. Great day!

Was also there to see Joe Cocker was a pretty wet day but nobody seemed to care 👍

Linda Ford, the Beach Boys are still performing 42 years later, which is more than I can say for Joe Cocker.The Boys weren't late at Crystal Palace.There were sound problems and the organisers were, well disorganized!!!

True, Joe is no longer performing (he's dead). His albums are currently ranking higher than the Beach Boys however.

Just frikkin grow up and enjoy their different styles for what they are. i imagine you are older than 5 ?

It's a little fuzzy but I may have been there. just read some comments about Moon turning up by helicopter & somehow getting across the pond, so, yes I WAS there. Happy days.

Me too I was fourteen.

Remember this well,pity about the rain,Joe Cocker stole the show ✌️✌️

Joe Cocker passed away today at his home in Colorado, USA. The date is Monday, December 22, 2014. He will be missed.

agreed.

I attended the Rick Wakeman "Journey" concert here. Is there no film record of that day?

i went to that one too . a rather bizarre day , as i recall . black and white minstrels and Leo Sayer and Dinosaurs on the lake

i attended this concert Keith moon was in a boat in the water in front of the stage very funny

The July 31st, 1971 show at the Crystal Palace Bowl (not featured in this vid, though) featured Elton John, YES, Fairport Convention, Rory Gallagher, Hookfoot & Tir Na Nog. That was Garden Party Nr. 2

No, Yes played 31 july 1971( the yes album) and September 1972 (close to the edge) I was there in 1971......

Not enough CARL

FUCK ! AWESOME BAND. I WAS TOO FUCKING YOUNG TO GO TO THIS! FUCK!

Saw Pixies there in 1991!

haha i'm doing the exact same!!

Do you have clips of Melanie, who also performed there that day..

1972?

is that Leslie "West??

yeah.....time travel back to '72. Leo Sayer was introduced and a great silence fell. Who's he? Elton John was a budding star and was not well known with the flower power audience.

What happened to the summer concerts in Crystal Palace Park? We all grew up! This event wasn't that well organized. Couldn't stay for Joe Cocker as I had to leave to catch a train home. Concert was running late and the local authority was literally threatening to pull the plug.

Is that the Captain, Daryl Diamond?

Blimey, it certainly looks like her, doesn't it? But then again, it was a very common look back then........ ;-)

We waited for hours for the Beach Boys. Just coz they were late... The rain set in and we had great sheets of plastic trying to shelter. Later Joe came on and was the best set of the gig - way into the dark. Many people had left. I was a local girl - not into mudfest etc. Joe, however, was unforgettable. The Beach Boys will forever be off my Christmas list.

I'm reading Keith Moon's bio and the author state's that Keith was introducing acts dressed up in all kinds of odd costumes. He also came out with Sha Na Na dressed in a gold lame suite. is that right on? just curious. he also tell of Keith pulling up in the hovercraft and slipping when getting out of it and getting all muddy and the crowd cheering. Ha!
