The innocence of psychedelia and the optimism expressed by such vast expressions of the Hippy ideal as the Woodstock Festival in New York State and the Hyde Park Free Festivals of 1969 in London were shattered by the violence of the Altamont Festival in California at the end of the year. As 1970 dawned, a more cynical tone began to appear in the counter-culture which was also reflected in some of the music by \"Progressive\" artists as some music got heavier or more anarchic. Jazz, blues, hard rock, folk and classical music influences melded together to form a diversity of music among so-called Underground artists, championed by \"underground\" figures of the day such as John Peel on his BBC Radio One show Top Gear. These artists retained a common audience who anticipated their albums eagerly, resulting in the \"progressive\" imprints of major record labels such as EMI's Harvest, Decca's Deram and Philips Records' Vertigo imprints and the independent Island Records enjoying healthy sales with some artists enjoying success in the UK singles charts. Universities and Colleges were regular venues on burgeoning live music circuit in the UK for these artists, most of whom earned loyal followings through regular concert performances both in Britain and in Europe. 1970 was also a year of major rock festivals in Britain, all of whom featured \"Progressive\" album focussed artists. Free concerts in London's Hyde Park and events such as Plumpton Festival, The Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music and the infamous Isle of Wight Festival of 1970 (gate-crashed by underground agitators protesting against the entrance fee being charged by the organisers) all showcased some of the best music of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaking Some Time on -Barclay James Harvest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Green Manalishi (With the\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Prong Crown) - Fleetwood Mac\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You - Caravan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Night - Deep Purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefugees (Single Version) -Van Der Graaf Generator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLady Eleanor - Lindisfarne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinter - Atomic Rooster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHurry on Sundown - Hawkwind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Witch's Promise - Jethro Tull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNothing at All - Gentle Giant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee My Way - Blodwyn Pig\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall Fruit Song - Al Stewart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo More White Horses - T2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Song of McGuillicudie the Pusillanimous (Or Don't Worry James, Your Socks Are Hanging in the Coal Cellar with Thomas) - Egg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApache Dropout -Edgar Broughton Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSittin' Back Easy - Patto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSinging a Song in the Morning - Kevin Ayers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpty Pages - Traffic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlan in the River with Flowers - Lindisfarne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSympathy (Single Version) - Rare Bird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGerdundula (Single Version) - Status Quo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRain - Locomotive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan't Be Long Now \/ Francoise\/\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor Richard \/ Warlock - Caravan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAround the World in Eighty Days - Stray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Song for Me - Family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrass - Pretty Things\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhaling Stories - Procol Harum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunny Ways - Gentle Giant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoenix - Wishbone Ash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed - Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Sheep of the Family - Quatermass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Land of the Few -Love Sculpture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJig-A-Jig - East of Eden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThings May Come and Things May Go, But the Art School Dance Goes on Forever - Pete Brown ; Piblokto!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTomorrow's People - the Children of\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToday - McDonald ; Giles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLucky Man - Emerson, Lake ; Palmer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMirror of Illusion - Hawkwind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Heaven - Clear Blue Sky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll in Time -Brian Davison's Every Which Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown, Down - Cressida\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sun Will Never Shine - Barclay James Harvest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLunatic's Lament -Kevin Ayers ; the Whole World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Sisters - Affinity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMomma's Reward (Keep Them Freak's a Rollin') - Edgar Broughton Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy?
