Who popped your Glastonbury cherry?

[Bradders]

I think it was The Rakes in 2009. Unless I saw someone on Thursday, I can't remember.

[ace56blaa]

Mine was Wilko Johnson this year too, 

[morph100]

Orbital in 2000 is my earliest memory, saw people before that but no idea who...

[glasto-worker]

What stands out is Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins and Steve Hillage and god knows who else all playing on the same stage at the same time { John Martyn may have also been in that lineup and there may have been others from Mother Gong } that was Glastonbury Fayre 1979.

[ian the worm]

Nik Turner playing the Pink Panther theme.  Thursday eve 2008.  Acoustic backstage bar.  I was the sound engineer.

[Mardy]

No idea. Just been thinking about 93. Dunno how I got there, dunno what happened. Remember seeing the Orb, remember Ultramarine, fuck all idea what else happened.

[willutalk]

Can't remember it mate. 1998. I was 0.

[incident]

No idea, but it almost certainly would have been someone I'd not heard of previously (or probably since) on a stage that i'd just happened to stumble across on the Wednesday afternoon. Possibly in the Green Futures Field.

To be honest, even if you restrict it to the major stages / Friday onwards I've still got no idea and looking at the lineup isn't helping any (I know I saw Love with Arthur Lee that evening, but they were on as a sub, so surely must have seen something before that).

I want to say Eat Static but I know for sure it wasnt them as we were all off our faces watching a juggler for hours and then someone piped up that we should get down there to see them and the sober person said through gritted teeth that we had missed them by hours.

2009 was my first; I remember East 17 vivdly as Brian Harvey announced the death of Michael Jackson.

hahahaha. Superb. I can absolutely picture that, clear as you like.

Kesha on the Thursday in 2011 in the dance village as a 'surprise' act. Really enjoyed it.

[Curlygirl]

Rolf Harris 

[Mardy]

me too. But iif sober person was that bothered about eat static they should have left the piss-heads with the juggler. 

I'm struggling with any sober person managing to put up with Eat Static for more than about 3 seconds, personally.

[tevaburger]

a band called Accidental President in 2002 on the way in via the New Bands Tent

[musky]

The Waterboys in 1986. Although I wasn't actually watching them, they just happened to be playing while I was in the field.

was that on the thursday night?

[Smeble]

Seasick Steve on the Thursday in 2007

[SirDaniel]

Unfortunately, the first act I remember seeing is Rolf Harris opening the Pyramid in '10. I'm sure I watched someone on the Thursday, but haven't the foggiest who it may have been.

Ok thats just weird. Turns out I cant do quotes. Apologies all.

[oneeye]

was that on the thursday night?

it was indeedy; really weird hour or so  after hearing MJ had died. Even weirder the following morning, waking to see all the MJ RIP t shirts for sale, talk about identifying a market opportunity!

[FuzzyDunlop]

East 17 in 2009 was the first full act I saw.

Orkestra Del Sol at the Stone circle!

 

I guess I must have gone to see something on the one of the stages open on the Thursday in 2010, but I can't remember where I went after the Stone Circle so for proper stages will have to say Magic Numbers on the Other.

[somecoolusername]

the rakes 2009 :/ friday morning when the jacko news was everywhere. the singer made some kinda joke about it. probably the most memorable thing about their set.
