Was anyone stalking me?

I guess everyones experience is unique and the chance of any 2 people seeing the exact same list of performers is extremely low (unless they're together permanently), so did anyone come even close to seeing all my choices?

In chronological order,

Gabrielle Cilmi

Regina Spektor

Hugh Cornwall

Lamb

Specials

Neil Young

Warsaw Village Band

Rolf Harris

Spinal Tap

La Roux

Kasabian

Bruce Springsteen

Status Quo

Tony Christie

Amadou and Mariam

Tom Jones

Madness (start)

Bat for Lashes (end)

Dodgy

Steve Hillage Band

Gong

Of the 21 acts i'd seen 9 live previously. Thought the standards were very high, can't say I saw a bad performance all festival.

Hmmmm - our paths crossed here and there.

I can't think that anyone was following me - an unexpectedly mainstream selection for me this year....

Bjorn Again (needed something "nailed on" in that rain)

Gabriella Climi - up to nothing sweet about me!

Rumblestrips

Maccabees

Fleet Foxes

Lily Allen

The Specials

Jamie T

Doves

David Quetta

Rolf

Spinal Tap (Didn't mean to - just ended up there and fell asleep)

Dizzy

A bit of Paulo Nutini on the way to the tent

Kasabian

Bruce

Bruce

Bruce

Attempted Trash City/Shangri-La but defeated.

Emmy The Great

Tom Jones

Madness

A bit of Glasvegas

Blur

A bit of Dance West

There is a definite noticable slowing as the days pass. If it had gone on another day i might have just completely ground to a halt!

Specials

Rolf Harris

Kasabian

Status Quo

Tom Jones

Madness (start) (me too, had to run away for Roots Manuva!)

so not really stalking you.

How were they? Really wanted to see them after hearing them on the freakzone a few months back, and my mate waxing lyrical about them. Though I don't regret seeing Blur (and I'm not even a big blur fan they were just amazing live).

Those were the bands we saw (or heard) pretty much the full set of, there were many others we caught fleeting and tantalising glimpses of (Broken Records, Lamb, Circlesquare to name but three).

I'm rather jealous of the guy who got to see Liz Green twice - we made a booboo on the timings for her Queens Head set on Thursday and never found anywhere she was playing again.

I'm afraid to say I may have perhaps spent too much time at the Pyramid all weekend (our tent was so close though!) but it had a great lineup so it's alright.

Beardyman at the dance village was a highlight away from Pyramid.
