4 goes to Glastonbury.. 1995

[incident]

I posted this a few months ago on one of the Youtube threads but I think it got buried in the pre-festival hype and most people won't have seen it..

Someone has posted a complete set (7 Episodes / 10 hours) of Channel 4's Glastonbury 1995 coverage on Youtube, which is well worth checking out if you've got any interest. Some amazing stuff on there from a year with an outstanding lineup.

It's got an obscenely low number of views on Youtube (and probably about a quarter of them are from me) so figured it'd be worth sharing again.

Anyway..

Cheers!

I'm ashamed to say that I was in that crowd for Dodgy when the live music broadcast started.

Nice one. I was there in 95 but don't remember any of those bands, i don't think. No idea what the fuck I was doing. I'd just come back from a year working in Slovakia, had no idea who was playing, hadn't seen a lineup or anything. Only been back in the country for a day or two, sititng on my arse watching telly when my cousin asked me if I fancied going down with him and his mates, so I bundled into his car and away we went. Not a fucking clue. Jumped the fence so had no programme etc.

 

Ah the folly of youth, Damn I miss being a daft young c**t.

 

Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,

But to be young was very heaven

[Mardy]

But, hazy as it is,  I'll tell you what, I can be sure of one thing, I wasn't watching Dodgy

[Peroni]

Brilliant... I'm away with work. Solo hoteling... Needed something to pass the time!

1995 was my debut year. From memory I spent most of it at the NME stage. (Now The Other stage). Still got my NME "Caught by the Buzz" T shirt altough its too smll these days!

I remember watching this with my dad and really thinking one year I have to go this festival.

Thanks for that link

Poor Sinead. 

[Wooderson]

This coverage is the reason I ended up going to the bloody place. Thanks Incident.

[stuwilky]

Great feature on the Glasto website about 24mins into episode 3.  The internet was a foreign place!  

[MrZigster]

My first. Did the classic young music fans first time thing of seeing as many bands as possible. I must find the time to watch those clips. I remember asking my mate to video some stuff for me as my machine had bust and he did it in double time which I couldn't play.

 

Gonna be hard to watch as I didn't get a glimpse of a booking page yesterday.

[mario man]

Thanks for the link! My younger self watched that & thought I must go there...97 was my first. Not quite the same weather however.

One thing that sticks out (or not!) watching that....no flags!

Oasis. Truly awful live band. Lumpen, one dimensional dirge. 

[Funkyfairy!]

Part 5 of 7 watched the first 2 minutes and Michael Eavis is wearing long trousers and the sun is shining,

When did he start wearing the famous shorts :-)

Wierd to almost think of 1995 being from a completly different era! Makes me feel old - haha.

 

I remember catching snippets of this late night (I was around 13 at the time) and for the first time seeing what Glastonbury was really like, then the BBC got the coverage for 1997 and did it properly and I think that's when 'modern' Glastonbury really started as more people who wouldn't have gone before then started attending because they saw it wasn't just full of drugs and crime. 

[srb]

Look how tiny the stages are, Other/NME is like a phonebox 

[admscott]

i was born in 1995.

That is absolutely disgusting.

[balti-pie]

Yep, this is the first one I remember watching on tv - and it engendered in me a lazy bastard kind of interest that didn't get actually fulfilled for another bloody decade! For this I blame money, football, useless mates, travelling and my own inability to realise I can do this kind of thing on my own and it's perfectly ok not to have to go in a group. It took me a while!

An almost completely different era brought to you by Mark Radcliffe and Jo Whiley.

My 2nd Glastonbury, I have all that coverage on video, and once in a whole we get the video player out of the lift and have a good old reminisce. Happy days

[Swine_Glasto2014]

That is absolutely disgusting.

Haha amen too that

[sime]

Thanks for posting that link. I was there! Ah happy days! 1995 is still one of my very favourite Glastonburys. I had such a great time! I have this on video and loads of other Glastonburys as my mum taped them for me. I just need to get a new video machine to watch them on now, so this link is great. Cheers

Oasis. Truly awful live band. Lumpen, one dimensional dirge.

Having seen them in some tiny venues and had a whale of a time, this was their chance to impress me again after a couple of shoddy shows at the Glasgow Barras.

As it was it was the moment that the scales fell from my eyes.
