Most chilled out gig I ever went to was Roy Harper

Cellar of a college, bean bags scattered on the floor, this was before the smoking ban and RH comes on with a Camberwell Carrot on the go, sticks it between the strings up near the machine heads for each song then reignites it as he rambles in between them. I was drunk rather than stoned, at least to start with, though I suspect the ambient effects of Mr Roy hit us all before too long. Not sure any of my lectures made much sense the next day but then that was nothing new.
