The 5th festival opens up to a variety of different musical genres – blues, salsa, Brazilian and African rhythms - as well as playing overtime with the production of the 'Mediterranean Caravan', which sees Stephen Stills, Richie Havens and Angelo Branduardi united on the same stage. Over 50'000 take part in this edition of the festival which is plagued by torrential rain, the last-minute defection of John Mayall and persistent rumours of the imminent sale of the Colovray site.
