Not in any particular order, just as I thought of them, but Kae Tempest may well be the best of the lot.
I've left the videos as links so as not to clog the place up.
Ah there's one glaring omission, so it's now 11
Black Eyed Peas in 2004 an underrated gem. They turned up and just entertained the f**k out of us. Proper showbiz.

2. Macca - Pyramid 2022
3. Rolling Stones - Pyramid 2013
4. Elbow - Queens Head 2008
5. Holy f**k - 2007 I think, JP
6. Jagwar Ma - 2014 I think, The Park

8. Kasabian - Other Stage 2005
9. Lionel Richie - Pyramid 2015
10. WH Lung - Williams Green 2022
from the top of my head, I am sure I have missed a few
sh*t, can I have 11 and swap Elbow for The Cure and Jagwar Ma please? 😁
Oh and Dizzee Rascal was great in 2009.
10 is hard, especially when you think for more than 5 minutes!

In no particular order, mainly because it's been the 21st century for such a long time, I can't remember
Radiohead 2017
The xx 2017
Kae Tempest 2017
Battles 2008
John Grant 2016
Underworld 2016
Elbow 2014 *
Gorillaz 2010
Chas'n'Dave 2005 (I sh*t you not)
Confidence Man 2022
* Yes I know that it was essentially a carbon copy of the superior set they played in 2011, but I wasn't there.
I'm sure I've forgotten loads that are better than some of these, but this is what springs to mind.

Bloody pedants, splitting hairs. 😃
I used to work with someone who regularly accused me of being a pendant. Obviously, I couldn't correct him.

Oh ok, well that makes a lot more sense now... You know, you're really hard to read sometimes, probably why you're often misunderstood. 🙈
I don't read her comment like that though, I read it as his songwriting and performance was so good, it makes many who came before him's efforts look like the work of children. But maybe I'm wrong. 🤷♂️That's how I read it too.

Yeah, provably right but must have all passed o'Conor by given her words.
For that song, it's not just a costume, it's intrinsic to the personal journey he's been on over the last ten years or so, living with a chronic auto-immune disorder that has given him extreme physical and mental health issues.
There's nothing new under the sun, but this version is elevating his influences to a whole new level. Incidentally, the fact that a lot of this has been done before is directly addressed in the song itself.

Hello stuartbert,
I was just wondering, have you a shortlist?
Not at the moment, a bit burnt out in hedonism in general.

Just seen this thread pop up. I'm still not going. Quite looking forward to picking a less intense festival for next year though.

Yea it's going to be rapid, feedback mechanism after feedback mechanism.
Meanwhile most still bury their heads ostrich style.
The deniers are out in force like never before on Twitter. None of it is real apparently.

Yes, they were visible from the Pyramid field during Lizzo, too. One had letters on it but I couldn't make out what they were or if it was an advert!
Look like adverts to me. No idea what the grenade was for though!

Same. As I recall it was during Jacob's audience choir. It all fell apart for a few seconds as our 'laaaaa' when to 'oooh!'
I remember the distinct feeling that Jacob had done it with his musical magicianship. They seemed to be in time with the music!

I'm a noob at only 17 times compared to most on this thread, but I need at least one year where I've decided not to go, rather than having my hand forced by getting married/having children/not getting a ticket or leave. And I haven't since 1997.
I found myself talking about old times and things I'd done 10 years ago in the place I was standing rather than getting on and enjoying things.
It's great to know so many people from here, but to catch up with everyone meant using this stupid black mirror far more than I wanted to.
It's a big old world, I want to go on holiday to different places with my family and attend my daughter's last sports day next year.
I'll be back, just not in 2024. I think I'd made my mind up before the bands started this year. I need a way to approach the festival that's appropriate to my age - I was 18 when I started and I most certainly am not any more!

If you get the 50gb file of the live glasto greatest hits one its about 650gb for everything thats available on the channel including old highlights. Bummer theres a handful of sets that didnt get put on there like Max Richter, The Hives, The Last Dinner Party.
I mean its supposed to? But i havent gotten to it yet to see how to download I guess.
maybe ill update my version and see if it works.
I didn't get the greatest hits (and probably won't bother)
Total 579Gb. That'll do for another year.

Up to almost half a terabyte and still going... 😁

Looking forward to the inevitable 'too crowded/last Glastonbury for me' posts on this thread..😆
Anyone moaning should have been at Glastonbury 99 or especially 2000, those were busy....
I was, and they were nowhere near as packed, just less well managed.

Went to see JC blind and deaf (never seen or heard before) purely on the back of this thread. Hadn't taken in it was you that started it Robert @stuartbert two hats.
Bagged a great spot as well. About third row a little bit left of stage left.
First thing I rewatched when I got home. What an undoubtedly talented multi instrumentalist.
Typical BBC sound mixing that they didn't get his Steinway at all for the first couple of numbers, but then managed to get the crowd at the end spot on.
And The Red Arrows! Always loved The Red Arrows (yeah military budget and all that). One of my first Airfix kits. Hung from the ceiling it was. Glasto moment for me. I may have got a bit James May.
Saying that I thought the vocoder stuff was a bit cheese. Had a mate that was doing exactly that thing years ago. If you can afford the kit and study the manual and know a few chords... Last I saw them they were playing keys for Toyah.
But I digress as usual. Great set.
Glad you enjoyed it.
I thought he was great! He'd reigned himself in compared to some of the other performances I've seen. The couple of pop/rnb songs he has under his belt really popped on a live stage. Although I lost my note a couple of times, being part of the choir was fantastic - his almost exclusive fanbase of musicians no doubt helped in that regard!
FWIW, I was stood stage centre about halfway between desk and stage and I thought his piano was almost inaudible during most of the set apart from near the end, so I don't blame the beeb too much.
Oh, and the red arrows appeared to fit his tune exactly.
Secret Sets 2024!

I expect so. It's way too early for us though.
