Good music, people drugs and booze I suppose.
The "best" parties - if they could be called that, were Stonehenge in the 80s, when it was kicking off with the Blue Meanies.
Obviously not for the convoy, some of those poor sods lost possessions, trucks, homes, pets - the fucking police had their PETS put down FFS. But for us week long hippies it was great fun, playing dodge the piggie. Years later I feel a bit of a twat for taking it so lightly, when for others it was terrible.
Good music though; Culture Shock, Hawks, Roy Harper, Ozric Tentacles playing off a truck in the darkness, you could just make out the red LEDs of their amps and genny.
Shittest party? Can't think of one, life is what you make of it.

Roy Harper was incredible at Stonehenge '84.
I wasn't there, being 11 at the time, but I have it on 'DVD'. He's ace.

I was at that one, the only downside were The Enid.
Shit, shit, shit.

The were/are(?) shite.
That was the year Nik Turner did the 'Ken Barlow' chant, right?

I've had the misfortune to see them twice, mushrooms at the 'Henge, acid at Acid Daze 2, Leeds.
It just made the time drag on even fucking more, shit, shit, shit.

Unlucky...
I've seen Dr & The Medics at least twice at those classic Brixton Academy Hawkwind all-dayers. I think they might be worse.
