captainmuscles Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 The Undertones opening the Pyramid in 2005. Some girl was screaming "PLAY TEENAGE KICKS!!!" the whole time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipsteak Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 I'm pretty sure it was Dreadzone opening the Pyramid Stage, or whatever it was called that year cos it wasn't a pyramid, in 1995 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans last year at leftfield was amazing, I usually make an effort to go see his tour when hes around too I was at Leftfield, my mate decided to have a flakey moment and almost fainted so I had to carry her outside and miss most of his set. He's playing the Cluny 9th Feb next year. I will more than likely be going, even tho I'm seeing him the weekend before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaKate Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 I know it wasnt the first band I saw (although I was amazed and did explore a lot the first year and barely saw anything on the stages) but the first act I remember was The Lumineers on the other, 2016. It was a full on moment for me...I really love them, and had been planning/ wanting to go to Glasto for so long. I'll never forget the magic of that. Emotions.

My first ever 'moment' was Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott in the accoustic tent 2014. I'd wanted them to reform all of my adult life, and was so excited to see them in my favourite place. It may have been a bit more of a 'moment' tho, I actually had a bit of a melt down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Golden Silvers at the Park in 2009. Apparently they'd won the emerging talent competition in 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were on West Holts 2016, did you see them there too? Not sure if they did any inbetween. On 11/14/2018 at 11:36 AM, Avalon_Fields said: The Darkness, opening up the Pyramid stage in 2003. Front row (Not that there was a huge crowd). They were, for a brief time, fun and entertaining. Immediately followed by Inspiral Carpets and Echo & The Bunneymen. Saw all 3 headliners, REM, Radiohead & Moby, loved them all. Was particularly hungover that morning, don't recall hearing em before then. Quite a rude awakening, that one. Entertaining though. Thanks everyone, love reading people's recollections, however hazy they might be sometimes..

Second year there for us....lashed it down Friday morning as I remember...wanted to see BRMC on Other Stage but took shelter instead in that place on the right going from Pyramid to Other (looked like a big Western saloon bar?) and then emerged in time for the Bunnymen. I've also got a photo of Mrs P and her friend sitting on a bench in what was Jazz World on Thursday evening.....the place is deserted but for about 25 people....what the hell happened since!

In hindsight we wish we'd ventured further much earlier in our GF career...lack of Pyramid interest doesn't bother us at all these days.

The Clearest Blue Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Mine would be Metronomy 2014 on Thursday in Wiliams Green, turned up as 1975 were finishing and managed to just about squeeze in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
