In Montreux live from the Isle of Wight
After the triumph of Joan Baez, Montreux was preparing to host the Doors and Black Sabbath, Sunday, August 30 for a double concert.
Jim Morrison, Doors singer's sudden obligation to be on Monday, August 31st in Miami for the opening of a lawsuit, forces the Doors to give up coming to Montreux for this time. It is likely that the other 3 musicians will be present but to satisfy all the friends of pop music who have already booked the afternoon or the evening of Sunday, August 30, Montreux reserves two surprises in size. First, in European premiere, the American group Cactus, from the Vanilla Fudge who caused a sensation during their stay in Montreux last year and especially Taste, one of the most important pop groups of the hour.
The Taste, discovered last year at the Rose d'Or Montreux have made an extraordinary career! Arrived at the height of biggest English and American bands, their participation in different festivals in Europe in recent months has been greeted by an enthusiastic crowd every time. Although brand new, Cactus is not unknown to music pop lovers. Indeed, a record is out recently and it already occupies a place envied to the US and European charts. Solid music, full of "punch" and vigor, finding the accents of the blues. Black Sabbath is Birmingham, black city, all this gives a very personal side to this music. Besides, they do not wish to make commercial concessions, and as they say themselves, they prefer to die of hunger than to engage in purely commercial forms of music. In short, two concerts with 3 groups for the event of August 30 in Montreux, home of the Moody Blues.
