"Sometimes they hurl bottles" - watch rare BBC footage of a wild-eyed Arthur Brown being interviewed after catching fire in 1967

Arthur Brown being interviewed by a BBC reporter in 1967

The 1967 National Jazz and Blues Festival, held between August 11 and 13 at the Balloon Meadow at the Royal Windsor Racecourse, west of London, was a landmark event. 

Headlined by the Small Faces, The Nice (who'd replaced Pink Floyd, as Syd Barrett's demons prevented him from appearing) and Cream, the weekend also saw the first ever performance by Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, and a debut UK show from Chicken Shack.
