Ouch. That's offensive.

I walked past pyramid when a certain Kanye West was on. The minute spent walking past was a minute too long. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Probably felt like a long minute as it takes about 15 minutes to walk past the Pyramid when it's busy.

The Who - just a mess. And they didn't play 5:15 which is just wrong.

The worst not at Glastonbury has to be PIL supporting the Stone Roses at Finsbury Park. I love both bands but never at the same time!

[CaledonianGonzo]

I didnt find 'Orrible Lads a mess at all.  They complained that their gear had been messed with, but it sounded fine in the field.  Roger's voice isnt what it was, but it's still just about there enough to carry it off.  And even if they didnt play 5:15 they still dealed out more belters than you can shake a stick at.

[El Matador]

Remember seeing the subways on the pyramid (maybe 2008?). I was a big fan but billy was clearly coked off his tits and it was a car crash.

Only highlight was a dry ice malfunction which completely obscured the band from view for a couple of minutes until the band kicked off about it.

Was my first Glastonbury. One of my first big gigs ever, I was lost, trying to get back to my camp at the Pyramid and was happy just to be there seeing John Squire play guitar in the flesh.

I enjoyed it.

I was at Beyonce and have always regretted not going to (my last and only chance to) see The Streets, but this thread is helping to alter my thoughts!

I bloody loved the Streets gig that night, but then I myself am amateur and dated, if, hopefully, not too 'lad'

I also loved that Streets gig.

Dunno if it's been mentioned before but Morrissey in 2011 was the pits. Pompous rubbish; the slowing down of 'There Is A Light' to a snails pace, taking out Johnny Marr's awesome guitar bit in 'This Charming Man' - generally seemed disinterested throughout and also seemed to be irked by playing before U2.

I really like a lot of Morrissey's solo work and have seen him another couple of times where he's been really good but I was bored rigid.

Half way through he was stood on a box shouting at the crowd I CAN SEE YOU, CAN YOU SEE ME.

I must admit I was never a big fan but this gig just seemed a total shambles to me. Although if I was as out of it as Mike Skinner was then I'd of probably enjoyed it as well.

Shambles was the word I was looking for. That's how I remember it.

I also remember certain sections of the crowd being rather aggressive - it didn't seem at all 'Glastonbury'

I'd seen them several years before and they were great but it all seemed very 'wrong' by 2011.

Yeh apparently I'm usually a shambles myself and enjoy a lot of these "worst acts"

My worst: listening to Gloating Points from halfway up a hill because my friend thought it was supposed to be techno and wanted to leave after 5 minutes

Is that some evil, fucked up version of Floating Points?
