The Acorn's MJ cover in the Tipi tent on Saturday night
or
The trio outside the Tipi on sunday night playing their own songs and covers on a guitar, uke and kid's accordian. Such a fun festival experience!

EDIT: Plus Liam Mullone and Ringo Music Bingo in the Pavilion, complimented the music side of the festival brilliantly

Sparrow and the Workshop.  They were the main reason I agreed to go so I was glad they were as mindblowing as they were.  Shame that not many people saw them (even the people in the Tipi...)

Really hard to choose from so many beautiful moments.
I think The Tallest Man On Earth's set summed up what I love about EOTR: a not very well-known artist winning the crowd over with pure talent, and the audience going from curiosity to rapture in the space of 30 mins.
Also, a proper cup of tea at the Tea Bus
and who can forget Bob Log?

I have started to talk in the manner of Bob Log................I can't make a cup of tea without bellowing "IT'S A CUP OF TEA, GODDAMIT".

I think it's beginning to grate with the rest of the family.

The Duke and the King literally brought a tear to my eye and made the hairs on my arms stand up. I don't think I will ever forget that performance.

Forgot to mention my 8 year old getting to jam with Dirty Projectors. I wasn't actually there but it chuffed the hell out of him and his mother.

Vetiver, whom I didn't really know before
The Acorn, for good repartee and infectiousness
Broken Family Band, whom I've never liked till their set here, and now it's too late
Magnolia Electric Company, as good as I've seen them
Neko Case, owed me a good show after Bush Hall
William Elliot Whitmore for being ineffably William
Richmond Fontaine, for being there

- Watching two very dedicated and bizarrely-haired kids belt around the site digging cups out of bins

Was that after the bars started offering 5p a cup for returning them?!?

Most memorable moment for me was Motel Motel's performance ... they are an awesome live band and possess amazing energy...

Big Top or Tipi?  I was a bit confused by them at first in the Big Top, the pedal steel had me expecting something else, but I was really enjoying them by the end of the set and was well chuffed when they turned up at 2.00 am for another go!  Don't remember seeing a band quite as excited by playing in a little tent as they were.

A few:

- David Thomas Broughton bellowing at children
- Okkervil playing 'A Stone' to complete, beautiful silence (the highlight of my favourite set of the weekend)

Both of these - that silence was incredible, I was right near the front and all you could hear in the gaps was the odd peacock or child. And then the piano set the next day was special.

Josh T Pearson telling jokes for ten minutes waiting for the post-Fleet Foxes rush was excellent.
