The memories of the first Independence Rock festival in August 1986 are still fresh in the minds of the remaining members of Mumbai's iconic rock band, Indus Creed. They recall the excitement of playing to a large crowd at Rang Bhavan, an iconic venue for music shows in South Mumbai. It is as if it only happened yesterday. "The first I-Rock is the most favourite and vivid memory I have of I-Rock. We didn't expect such a big crowd at Rang Bhavan, and it was in our early days of Rock Machine. We had played to some 800-1000 people and it was raining, so I think it was a different experience," shares a smiling Mahesh Tinaikar, one of three original members of the band.
