Only posting this really because you see a couple of the camp solo hunks (John and Dave) at 0:18.

Cracking choice.

These are my favourite Glastonbury videos and watching them in the run up is part of my yearly warm up routine.

[Wanderlei]

My favourite Glasto moment is Rockin in the Free World by Neil Young. It's on youtube in 2 parts. Always sends a shiver down my spine.

That's pretty entertaining.  In a similar vein and slightly older...
 

 

Have just been going through some of these - a lot of it doesn't look that different, (Reef were playing, for a start....) and I could ignore the fact that it was 20-odd years ago, and I'm 20-odd years older.

Yeah, until Keith Allen starts going on about something brand new called 'The Internet'

I came across this one recently.. It is by far my favourite glastonbury video.. perfectly highlights the small things that stick in my head over the years but cannot be described easily to a new person

 

Love this had a huge smile on my face the whole time I was watching it

And not a phone in sight! Glorious!

I used to love gigging pre-smart phones. Crowds were more energetic and people were lost in the moment far more than they are now. I really crave being part of these type of crowds now whenever I see an up-tempo band that requires this type of audience but bouncing in unison seems to be a thing of the past as too many people are unwilling to join in because of either a phone being held aloft or the the fact that it has essentially died out over the last 10 years. 

I think what makes that video so good, isn't just the crowd but the guys reaction and obvious enjoyment of the crowd

[MrZigster]

Can't be arsed to trawl through 8 pages and I'll bet someone has already posted this (though a quick search didn't find it). Anyway it's always worth watching again.

It's the crowd that make it (note the lack of flags):

Ahh Huey's face. He can't believe his luck.

I'm probably guilty of posting this way to often, but what the hell, one more spin will not do anyone any harm.

SFA

For the first timers.....

Aww - he looks so young and naive. I am so very much wishing and hoping they will be at Glasto this year because I adore his voice, whether he's talking on the radio or singing. There's just something very sexy and naughty about him which appeals greatly to me.

We've got the New Yorkers album too, which is also magnificent. If he turned up, I would be a very happy bunny indeed!

Some bands just have very high points. I'm out there somewhere in that crowd fully looning out to this, very happy about that, a long time ago.

I had the fluke of bumping into him through work a couple of years ago.

I really tried to grab his attention. I mentioned that clip and how much I liked his picks on his Radio 6 show. He was all like "Thanks man, but it's 6 in the morning. I played a gig last night and I've just got up". I had to respect that and let him be.

Exactly the right response from someone who is still so incredibly cool that he does a gig in the evening and still gets up at 6am! 

[MrZigster]

He had to get up. We had to get him up. People think The Rock Star Lifestyle is cool but the schedule is hectic. You can't stay asleep on your bus if you have a plane or boat to catch to make the next gig.

From Last Year.

Again, we only need look back one short year to see what is possible, and again imagine that which is likely to surpass.

Love crowd shots like that. Shame people don't seem to get into it as much as they used to now or maybe thats more to do with the music these days.

I saw 'Alan Parker' quite a few years at Glastonbury back then (Cabaret tent)... Simon's later characters were never as good.

I've got to say, thinking back, and I've seen it all at the Festival, this was by some margin the best. That is saying something.

Yeah, I like that one. Good crack is being had in that tribe!

They look like they know how to do it. 

But what happened to there mate who tried to climb the fence??

 

edit: just watched all there videos and I must say this is the most candid I've seen. I feel like a lot of them a shit by people who crave the attention or they are painfully boring, this lot just documented a massive piss up, which is how it should be.

Or the tail end of decent MDMA around that time...?
