Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young: High Mass At Wembley Stadium
Mick Gold, Rock On The Road (Futura), April 1976
THE AUDIENCE IS fairly well defined. There are few blacks, and the young dudes are out at other football grounds. The number of people over thirty is negligible. The audience is white and mostly middle-class, ranging in age from those who entered adolescence with Dylan to those entering it now. The children of the British Empire sitting in its stadium.
