Worst act you have seen at the festival

as someone who thinks that metallica's first three albums were the only good ones i was pretty bored by them tbh

What not a Justice fan?!

[PretentiousThinkpiece]

nah.

One's a good song obviously, but the drop off in quality from Master of Puppets is just too great.  I'd say it should've been Lars that got it rather than Cliff but I met Lars last year and he was really nice so I can't do that without feeling guilty

[CaledonianGonzo]

But who loves Glastonbury more? Lars or Bradley Cooper?

[PretentiousThinkpiece]

gonna say bradders because he's not danish and is therefore able to express enthusiasm

Though that panegyric that the Larster wrote the other year is probably the most gushing tribute I've ever heard from a sleb on the subject.

They were not far from awful in 2005. But even with an atmosphere on stage that made Oasis in 2004 seem like Blur in 2009, I must admit they weren't Shakin' Stevens bad. I was even humming doo do-do-do-do doo doo do. Doo do do afterwards. I bet @eastynh can identify the song from that

But they were terrible!

Temptation

They had the ability to be terrible back in the day. I am getting bored of the consistently good.

In typical New Order fashion, the song does not actually mention Temptation in the lyrics. Its got blue eyes, green eyes and grey eyes though.

The Streets. Can't remember the year, but was in the Dance Village so not that long ago. Don't think it was them particularly, more the sound quality. Every beat seemed to echo from the back of the tent and crash into the next one. Sounded like a disabled horse trying to trot down a steep flight of stairs as a distant voice kept shouting 'your tit, but gloss your nose init'

Oh, jesus yes...how did I forget about Steve Davis?! I've never seen so many confused looking people in a tent before... Insane crush at the start but it didn't take the queue long to go down, for obvious reasons! My American friend pretty much summed it up when she looked at me and said "Is this music POPULAR in England??" 

Steve Davis standing next to a man putting on some not to great music, in front of a massive crowd. We thought he would be doing the DJing. At least he had the decency to look embarrassed about it though.

Tbf me and my mates had a really good laugh though.

No, their Temptation was much better.

[Madyaker]

Primal Scream in 2005 while musically terrible must have been fairly entertaining at least?

Ha ha. The JP set the year they split? I was at right the front and loved it, danced like a loon, was hammered, thought it was ace.

I also loved James's set. Shocked it's getting slated. I know all thier stuff, but 2 of me pals didn't and they loved it too. Crying at moving on.

Helped us deal with the shit news on the Friday.

[cazzatron]

I saw Michael Eavis perform twice last year; once in the Avalon Cafe, once on the Pyramid stage. He did the same song both times! :/

 

 

 

Jokes, was awesome

[Spindles]

Moving on was immense, in my opinion, brought to mind a lost loved one and stood out as a memorable moment for me.

Never watched it before.  Glorious car crash. Was this the precise moment when "Gillespied" became a recognised term?

Pharrel williams was absolutely dire as was alt j in 2015

Somehow this one had escaped my memory from that set.  Listening to it now has just dropped me straight back in it.  Beautiful.

The James set is one of the main reasons I'm looking forward to going solo.  The guys I was with only knew Sit Down and Laid, so most of the set was lost on them and they didn't think it was that great.  In hindsight I would have enjoyed it a damn sight more without people grumbling around me.

i have too and its incredibly freeing, but i find it more so at glasto where you can manouver yourself to the pockets of the crowd who really know the material whereas at a bands own gigs where a larger proportion of the crowd know the material very well.

We should go to gigs together.  And then stand nowhere near each other

I'm almost a little bit pissed off that one of my best friends that I hardly ever get to see is probably going to watch Radiohead with me. 

I can't normally fully trance out to the music when I have company.
