What made you cry at Glasto?

[adms]

Beans on Toast - Jamie and Lily, Leftfield.

He told the whole story about how they were both going to see him at a gig.

Jamie emailed Beans on Toast asking to dedicate a song to Lily.
And without Jamie knowing, Lily emailed Beans on Toast, asking to dedicate the same song to Jamie.

He wrote a song about them.
They came on stage and danced. It was a joyful happy moment and I sobbed.

I was in bits to that song, had quite a moment. It means different things to different people but always a heart string puller! We also had hugs, hugs that you just couldn't let go. Just beautiful. I think Flaming Lips were the best band I have ever seen live. 

A friend wants that song at her funeral! Hopefully not imminently though  Yes, I think they just became my #1, pipping George Clinton & the P-Funk All Stars  who have held that honoured position for nearly 30 years (their Hammersmith Odeon set in 1988 was IMMENSE, as were the crowd).

Haha , I think we know each other lol 

lol, I guessed it was you mate, the Tuesday was a proper scream.

Back on topic though I had a tear in my eye when the Flaming Lips performed "Do You Realise", absolutely beautiful song which Wayne introduced with a very touching Glasto loving speech.

 

Was a beautiful moment.

That's beautiful.

And just think. At that very moment, at that exact same moment, as the sun shone above us and the stars aligned, I was stood there in that hallowed field, thinking how dreary and shit they were.

 

How funny that I upvoted both posts! Loved the first one, laughed out loud at the second.

This.

My dream set list included Street Spirit, Paranoid Android, No Surprises, Creep and, above all, Fake Plastic Trees. I thought there was no way we'd get all of them but miraculously we did.

There were tears in my eyes from Lucky onwards but FPT put me over the edge. I don't think I've ever cried so much at a gig (and I cry at gigs a lot!). Probably my greatest single moment at any gig ever.

Amazingly, when I watched the whole thing back last weekend I did exactly the same all over again!

You were there and you loved it, admit it. I bet you enjoyed it nearly as much as you enjoyed Coldplay last year!

Just watched it on my phone, that is cack.

I'm both annoyed that I talked myself into going to see them and oh so pleased that I fucked off after two songs.

Even Elbow or The National can't top that as the king of the bedwetters tune.

Same!! Thankfully my friends were all there to hug me right on through it...best cry ever 

Also welled up on Sunday, as I lost my phone on Friday night which didn't bother me one bit until I got lost after The Killers. Was waiting for my friends to turn up at designated meeting place by The Beat Hotel, had a couple of shots and a cocktail and convinced myself they weren't coming and I would have to spend the evening befriending randomers in Shangri La. Thankfully, they turned up...again sending me into tears of emotional joy

Bit of a cliché, but Elbow, One day like this. It's one of our wedding songs and we were fairly near the front and have never heard it live before.  My Mrs had tears rolling down her face and turned to see if I was in any way emotional, to see me blubbing away! Met some great people in the crowd too, very special moment  

Me to. Had this and Mirrorball at ours. Also during Barry Gibb Staying Alive which was my Dad's funeral song. 

[kalifire]

Being dropped off at the Showground for the shuttle and having that lovely warm familiarity that something incredibly special was about to happen. The huge journey seemed worth it right at that point. 

As someone else mentioned, You Got The Love at Hacienda Classical. Really unexpected, that one. But that songs been with me in various contexts for many years. 

Kate Tempest. 

Hearing various Speaker's Forum people. So committed, so dedicated, so knowledgable about their various chosen passions. Yet so relatively unpopular. It felt so important to support some of those people in the midst of the masses enjoying their different musical acts. Because this stuff changes things. 

[Digi]

Think I spent more time in Leftfield this year than anywhere else, particularly ON Saturday. 

Watched Billys round up. Blubbed through it. Bawled through JC. Cried at Beans and was inconsolable by the time Alison Moyet sang 'Whispering Your Name' 

... Going and seeing The Jacksons, despite the sound being shit, completrly finished me off

I liked that so much when I watched it back (I was at Radiohead), I cut it and uploaded it.

I have since came home and told everyone I'm close to that I want this at my funeral. It's just so beautiful!!

Being right at the front of Cinematic Orchestra @ West Holts on the Sunday. Sun shining, mojhito in hand*, it was just bloody epic x

 

*god I sound like a w*nker

I think there was a tear in my eye when The Killers came on stage with Teenage Kicks playing. A beautiful moment.

No, you sound like you were having a lovely time. Nothing at all wrong with that
