What is/was the Alexander Palace used for in the succeeding 44 years? My wife went to a knitting convention there a few years ago, & I think the BBC uses parts of it, & always has done, for their broadcasting technology, although there was a major fire later than 1973....it's still there. It's interesting that this topic has come up again because that's when the cognitive dissonance for me was extreme. Copenhagen was slightly better, but then there was Essen. That one was full on wild fuhrer worship. So here's a question for you, OTS, as a man who's participated in this on both sides of the Atlantic. Who was the most fanatical back then? I always found the American premies, honcho class excluded, to be much more laid back than we were. Did all that mass hysteria stuff happen at festivals in the States at that time? That would be up to '75, from which time he was always there.
