Implosion
at The Roundhouse

In 1970, a new event began on Sunday afternoons; Implosion.
This was a benefit venture and was held back on old territory
at the Roundhouse.
The years of eccentric exuberance were gone and many new people
attended -the old crowd virtually stayed away. The lightshow
lacked the inventive diversity of years before and altogether
it was a huge excuse to get wasted.
Many people took speed with barbiturates and
especially Mandrax, which fitted in well with
the many appearances of Pink
Fairies, who still held the freaks banner
high. The air was still sweet with incense and
dope which made a pleasant way to spend sunday
afternoons. Some memorable gigs were played including Love, High
Tide, Robert Wyatt, Zoot
Money, Pink
Floyd, Nico, Curved air, Pink
Fairies, Kevin
Ayers and the perennial Edgar Broughton Band.
