2005/2007, we were all suckered to the ground by the mud! :blink:

Echo and the Bunnymen, other stage, 2005, I tried to move, almost fell over as the body moved but the feet we not going anywhere! Spent the rest of the set as still as an Eric B and Rakeem dancer :blink:

Last year, more bounce was experienced.

Have you tried jumping up and down in Worthy Farm mud? It's... not quite as springy as the grass, shall we say! :blink:

*squelch... squish... squelch... bollocks I've lost my welly...*

I'm 20 and to be fair I get tired and low on energy most of the time so by the time i've walked around glastonbury for most of the day then the last thing I actually feel like doing is jumping around in a crowd.. eventhough in my head that is what I REALLY want to be doing!! but I just cant find the energy, I do always give it my best but it is often short lived and wastes that last bit of energy that I have for the day. I quite enjoy standing and watching :unsure:

It IS the young uns! No stamina. My 20 year old cousin says his front row days "are over", he's still an embryo!!!! They haven't been trained on a diet of grunge and britpop, that's the problem. You'll see plenty of bounce at Blur ;)

It's nothing to do with us young'uns not being able to hack it anymore, go to most gigs in the country, along with reading/leeds and the like, and you'll see the hordes bouncing.

The reason why it was different in the mid 90's (an educated guess at the least as i wasn't around) is that there were far more young(er) people in the festival due to it being cheaper and easier to break into. Nowadays, a larger proportion of the glastonbury-goers are of an older age, and, it would seem, less inclined to join in a bit of the hokey kokey.

2007 has been my only glastonbury too date, and gorgol bordello was the most amount of bouncing i took part in, im hoping prodigy can surpass that.

OK your links dont seem to work for me but anyway back in 1999 the Fun Lovin Criminals where a lot newer. 100% Columbian was just out and "The Fun Lovin Criminal" was only a few years old.........Fresh and exciting...........

Not so in 2008. Maybe that has something to do with it? Also they had not released anything in the 3 years prior to last years fest............They acted as filler really...........

It will be very hard not to imagine a fair few jumping people when Blur play Boys and Girls or for the whole of the Prodigy gig this year.............just have to decide who ill be jumping too...........

No one jumped last year because who could of been arsed getting excited for the Fun Lovin Criminals.......This year I feel there will be one or two getting excited for Blur........one or two.........

    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
