Which tracks do you find always brings your mind back to Worthy Farm, either reminiscing or looking forward.

for me its always about songs in sets that have been played so........

One Way - The Levellers (the quintesential Glasto band)
We Come One - Faithless (the finest audience participation ive ever experienced)
No Surprises - Radiohead (97's saviours and general glasto genius's)

[Red Day]

Without a doubt Karma Police, Radiohead 2003.  Got a bootleg of the gig and ' for a minute there, I lost myself'  still sends a shiver down my spine.

Others would be the first song the Darkness played that year.  My first Glasto and that was the first band I saw on the Pyramid so despite them being a bit of a fad (no mis-spell ) they have a wee memory for me.

2005 - Grace under Pressure - Elbow

2007 - Madness in the tent

Roll on Summer

Definitely 'We come one'. Will always take me back to Glasto
'Fake Plastic Trees' - The Highlight of their 2003 set
'Hey Jude' - Na na na na na na na na na na na
Then also have to put Jay-Z's one where he sampled Sunday Bloody Sunday (can't remember the name) The pinacle of his set, Blew me away, Jay-Z standing there on his own on stage just looking at the crowd knowing he had conquered Glasto.

Ditto what you said with exception of Radiohead. (Never seen em and didn't like them for a long time)

Would add

James - Sit Down (TB climbing into Pyramid Cloud 1990)
Cure - A Forest (Again 1990. Helicopter!! The sun setting, 1st ever bit of chemical - Oh my GOD!!)
Pulp - Sorted for E's & Whizz (I still feel priviledged to be in that crowd)
Bowie - Heroes
Brian Wilson - ALL OF HIS SET (Who better to have on when the sunshine finally came)
Elbow - One Day Like This
The Verve - Love is Noise (listening to it played back on Radio 1 driving up M5 the next day - how it seamlessly kicked in after Bitter Sweet Symphony sent tingles down my spine)

2 fantastic moments there - oh yes indeedy!

[cole4ord]

Have to agree about Karma Police in 2003. Was quite a moment!!

Also go a bit teary when i hear "God only Knows" by the beach boys now, and remember that wonderful sunny afternoon in front of the pyramid. Was incredible when BW played that

Only ever been to Glasto once in 2007, and so looking forward to returning. But here was the best moments!

1. When you go through the turnstiles for the first ever time and see worthy farm in all its beauty!
2. the 1st time you go to the Brothers Bar!
3. Kasabian- L.S.F
4. Chas and Dave

On Call-Kings of Leon.

orbitals' one perfect sunrise.   twas a new tune, but instantly so familiar for their last glastonbury show,

alabama 3 finishing their set with 'mao tse tung said'  (raise your right hand)

dreadzone - little britain (and the vote of no confidence in the john major government)

The Zutons - You Will You Wont/Remember Me

Arctic Monkeys - Do me a favour
Arcade Fire - No Cars Go
Amy Winehouse - Back to black
Super Furry Animals - Northern Lights
Oasis - Rock n roll star (It was played outside a wine bar on the rainy thursday night last year, and it was amazing being in the middle of a crowd who were so into it, one of my best moments of last year's glasto )

[glasto_mongrel_2008]

MGMT - Kids

The Verve - Love is Noise

[crashnburn]

1998 - this is a low blur and ladies and gentleman - spiritualised
