Message to Love

on BBC Two England

The 1970 Isle of Wight Pop Festival was the last and largest of the great music marathons. Twenty five years after the event, this film captures the incendiary performances and the chaotic atmosphere of the occasion. Being shown for the first time, it features the last British stage performances of Jimi Hendrix and of Jim Morrison with the Doors, plus footage of major acts of the day - the Who, Free, the Moody Blues, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Joan Baez and Taste.
The film includes bad language and footage of drug taking.
