• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Just saw this and thought others might be interested.
Woodstock payments to artists. August 1969.
Top of the list is Jimi Hendrix, in case you hadn’t realised. 😉

I find that really interesting. Google tells me Hendrix's fee would be about $146K now.

Santana was a steal at $750.
 
Keef Hartley played there!! Blimey, never knew that. It seems bassist Gary Thain packed a fair bit in prior to joining the 27 club.
 
An outdoor show in San Francisco dressed like that. Poor Robert could've caught his death of cold.

I imagine the Swansea team that day found the Leicester goalkeeper pretty hard to beat...

We put 2 past him that day 😂 in a 2-2 draw - sharing the trophy after a 1-1 down the Vetch.

There were 2 future England internationals in that Leicester team.

Williams for Swans, was that Ronnie?
 
Great lineup. It’s a shame they have the “Rong” Griffiths in the caption. 😉
