I loved that "feel-stupid-thing" when Kris was slowly realizing that the interviewer wasn't really satisfied with his last answer, so I started the vid with this scene... It's in the interview after the song with Kris talking about performing and fears and feelings ...
Kris, you needn't tell everything...
The song is already on YT but I liked to embed it in the things happening around and didn't want to leave out Kris's words... He looked really scared... Luckily these crazy people didn't shoot them...
Kris said, "They were throwing shit at me, but I kept singing... I told them 'I brought this band over here at my own expense. They told me to do an hour, and I'm going to do an hour...'"

Zal also jammed with his old buddy John Sebastian that weekend. Unfortunately, I don't think that part of Sebastian's set was filmed.8 years ago

The Isle Of Wight festival is one of my favorite performances of Kris along with the early Johnny Cash Show appearances. If this was his forth gig, what were his first three? I'd like to know. 10 years ago

Some of us sat on a hillside overlooking the fenced-in paying section. All I remember was that we called him Kris Pissedofferson. He sounded so miserable. Never knew that was the general feeling at the time until watching this vid. Ah well! He did alright anyway, since. Not my cup of tea though.11 years ago

I'm a long time fan of Kris, have been listening to his songs for over 40 years, love them now even more than I did back then but even if I weren't, my heart would still go out to him that night during that miserable concert. I can just imagine how he must have felt, drunk or sober, such a discouraging experience with that kind of audience behavior. Have a lot of respect for his honesty and genuineness, so obviously clear in his interview, one of the most talented, authentic artists I know...11 years ago

He looks unsure and pissed off to me. He probably was... He had the feeling the audience hated him.11 years ago

I'm just watching another interview with Kris again, where he and Donnie also talk about this performance, mentioning it had been their fourth gig together and about the band they had then, and they mention Norman Blake... so you may be right about him. They say Dennis Linde, Billy Swan, Norman and Zal were playing with them back then...11 years ago
