Glastonbury 2014
- Thread starter wiskey
- Start date
1997 was good, rain aside. I was with Tribe of Twat, we did the legendary week long mega- rave outside gate 5 iirc, I had my Dodge 50 live-in truck, full rig, big top. Eavis himself and 50 plod came to make us turn off on Tuesday morning 
Only bought a ticket once, in 1989. Did 12 more after that, over (and under!) the fence, we tunnelled in 
Otherwise, just bung security a score and you're in. Great days

All the performers have said DOLLY PARTON is the act the act they'd like to see. They're right!! Having seen her two weeks ago in Dublin, she was incredible!! - right up there with the greats like James Brown, Stevie Wonder, and Prince. One of the best investments i have ever made!!
Metallica will also BLOW THE HOUSE DOWN - saw them in 2009 - best live band i have ever seen! They start their concerts with the music from 'The Good the bad and the Ugly' sublime, BRILLIANT live band. They will blow peoples minds, guaranteed.

the bbc footage makes me not want to bother tbh. if i didn't know there was a top festival round the edges i'd not be interested.

I remember when it was all Gong and milk was free
I was reading the other day that Daevid Allen had smashed his shoulder and had to have an op, so is off the summer festival circuit this year. Time has marched on too far, waa.

jsut remembered that last year you could watch a whole set start to finish on the website and they had over 100 sets up...that was good

There is something surreal about watching MIA ranting about how the BBC won't show her set because of the stop tamil deportation t-shirts being worn, via a BBC video feed 
I've no idea what they are showing on the traditional TV channels but I'm happy with this web coverage (red button too?)

luxury!
we had to make do with a used match to lie on
but we were happy and we had each other
This is the first year im gonna watch it. I usually just watch stuffs on youtube afterwards - Amy Winehouses gig in 2007 (when she was wearing the iconic green top) is one of my favourite EVER Glastonbury performances. And her stuffs with the Specials (tink dat was the same year...)

Glastonbury in 2000 was sublime - gorgeous sunshine and David Bowie - I went on a wander for two days and had a blast...pink champagne speed!!! - didnt sleep for three days (i was 21 though)
i did a glastonbury on pink base one year - presumably the same thing. i slept for no more than an hour a day and only ate two meals the whole time. it was great. but i was laid out for days when i got back, thought i was going mental, i was hallucinating pigs

1993-1995 were the years I wanted to be there. 1999-2002 were the years I actually went. Was good but I still wish I was there during the early 90s as it already felt like it was getting less alternative from 1997 when the BBC started covering it on TV.
It it just looks more and more mainstream every year like a Radio 1 big weekend. I know the action isn't anywhere around the actual main stages but still, it just doesn't appeal anymore.
Metallica ffs.
