Emerging from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Jazz_and_Blues_Festival" title="yeah man">National Jazz Festival</a> in 1961, it mutated into the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_and_Leeds_Festivals" title="wiki">National Jazz, Blues and Rock Festival festival in the 70s</a>, and on into the eclectic festival it is today. My personal faves were <a href="http://archivedmusicpress.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/advertisment-for-the-reading-festival-3rd-june-1989.jpg" title="flyer">1989</a> and <a href="http://www.fatreg.com/PicsRdg92/lineup92.html" title="line-up">1992</a>, but the best moment was seeing <a href="http://www.virginmedia.com/music/pictures/festivals/worst-festival-sets.php?ssid=4" title="hahahahahahahahahaha">Meatloaf bottled off stage in 1988</a>!
