Do you ever look through old line ups and

Ozric Tentacles instead of Sigur Ros.

[sweaver]

Only noticed recently when looking over old programmes that at our first Glastonbury in 2007 we missed the Who, argh how did that happen!?

[nofunciona]

At Reading 2010, I had yet to get into LCD Soundsystem and went to see Marina and the Diamonds instead... Really enjoyed her set actually, but James Murphy called it quits on LCD soon after, just as I became a big fan, which was pretty gutting.

Nice to see some love in here for Dry The River. Matt has some new material coming soon - check out waylorland.com

I got some news from him t'other day that suggests no Glastonbury this year, but could be wrong.

To stay on topic, I was in my tent and it started throwing it down so decided to maintain shelter for a while. Had a nap, woke up and I'd missed Robert Plant. So disappointed in myself.

Been pretty obsessed with Dry The River since a few months before Shallow Bed came out. Without doubt one of the finest debut albums of the in the last 15 years for me. The way the album builds to the run of final 7 songs starting from 'Demons' through to 'Family' is pure perfection. I always described them to people as the missing link between the harmony drenched folk of Fleet Foxes and the big orchestral crescendos of Funeral-era Arcade Fire. Lost a lot of the folky elements on their second but still brilliant stuff. Must have seen them a dozen times over the last 4 years. Shame they may not be back this year as I know they love it at GF and tend to spend the whole weekend there.

We almost missed Robert Plant too as we had a nap after we had worked the morning shift on recycling crew. We woke up to hear Robert Plant playing Black Dog and managed to get ourselves ready and down to the Pyramid just in time for 'What is and what should never be', My mate sparked a fat one and we saw 'Whole Lotta Love' and 'Rock and Roll' just as the sun was starting to go down behind the Pyramid. It was glorious.

Not even the first in the thread to say this, utterly baffling.

Thom I feel so sad for you right now. All were awesome. Orbital was the best Eva!!! The rest were brilliant too. 2010 was my first year. Fooking brilliant.

I was so bad at the time I was delusional. I even had thoughts of never returning to Worthy farm! Crazy, I know! But thats sun stroke!.....Next time I was there was even less that a year later on my Honeymoon.....

Watching the football instead of Slash and Ray Davies still gives me nightmares

The Slash set was one of the best I've ever seen at Glastonbury.Perfect rock and roll with the best rock vocalist out there. Sorry to rub it in

LCD were amazing. My friend came up on a pill whilst going for a poo.

[Martin Ashford]

Shakira over Frank Turner.

No problem. I LOVED that Shakira set. I get goosebumps thinking about it.

[Pbird81]

That's the thing about Glastonbury - there's so much gong on - The festival you miss is better than the one you see - then there's the context of what you are up to in each moment. Just enjoy what you see and don't worry about what you've missed - if you didn't see it, it didn't happen.

Having a decade between Glastos, I looked at the lineup for 2004 and was like - 'what the fuck was I doing' but then going back last year it all made sense again...

That's a potentially problematic experience if it was a bad come up

[port]

saw Waterboys at Avalon and they were on top form..........strongly persuaded mates to go see them in the acoustic and they were shit

missed iggy for this ........one mate never really forgiven me

[Tigerdragon]

What was coming down was probably worse...

[Bradders]

I saw Cee-Lo Green over Primal Scream doing Screamadelica.

I also missed The National, and as far as I can tell from looking at a Clashfinder, I was doing absolutely nothing.

I was a fan of both The National and Primal Scream at the time and can't remember what the fuck I was thinking.

[Glastoboy]

each...to...their...own...

Don't get me wrong. I did mostly enjoy it but I found the order of their set list a bit challenging. I will go and see them again at Latitude this year. Still a bit gutted to have missed Chic though.

[DJL]

Said it before but... missing Bowie at my first Glastonbury as i was persuaded to head home early and beat the traffic. The folly of youth.

This is why I cant have the weather like it was in 2010. The day times were right offs. It was my least enjoyable glastonbury due to the heat. I was sat at my tent listening to the national, just trying to get some shade.

Sunday, I thought - sod it. Last day, I'll be out. I stayed at the Pyramid all day. Only time Ive ever done that. It was a great afternoon / evening. (Bar Jack Johnson)

Yep let's hope we get a mud bath

I spent over an hour listening to the Hari Krishnas chanting because I had found one of the few shady spots by the tent next door. There was no-one I particularly wanted to see, but that wasn't great either.

[GlastoSimon]

If you could survive the heat during the day in 2010, the evenings/sunsets were bloody brilliant - best time of the day at the festival for me.

It was like that on the Wednesday of 2014, was great sitting on the grass near the Brothers Bar as the sun set. Oh how it all went wrong

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

I found an empty tent in the dance stage with tons of shade and had a nap in 2010 so missed the football and whatever else was on, then I was too exhausted to stay out past the opening few tracks of Oribtal and went back to my tent

[CaledonianGonzo]

I had a tonne more energy in 2010 as you could walk easily everywhere and didn't have to wear raingear or walking boots. Had a spring in my step the whole weekend.

[russycarps]

pffft 2010 was the perfect weather conditions! Absolutely sensational. Anything less is unsatisfactory.
