BluePaul Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Oh my - ask me in an hour and it would be a completely different list, but off the top of my head: Pulp - The Park - 2011. Right down the front and on it. Peerless. The Hives - Other - 2013. SOMEONE GET ME A FOKKING LADDER! Nile Rodgers/Chic - West Holts - 2013. Sheer disco perfection. The Hold Steady - John Peel - 2007. I was cold, wet and dispirited and they brought me back to my senses. The Gaslight Anthem - John Peel - 2011. With Bruce Springsteen on rhythm guitar.

found home in 2009 Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) 1. The Who - Pyramid 2015 2. Ray Davies - Pyramid 2010 3 combo of seeing Years & Years in JP immediately followed by Zombies in Avalon. Both good gigs in their own right but fact I could experience 2 totally different bands with 2 totally different crowds appreciating the music in a totally different way sums up what's great about glasto for me 4. Frightened rabbit - other 2010 5 Passion pit JP 2009 Honourable mentions to Muse, idiotape, Bruce Springsteen, Slash, the Specials, Ezra Furman. Could go on for ever so many great glasto memories.

bellboy Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) Neil Young - 2009. My first headliner - couldn't believe how easy it was to get close. Blur - 2009. Emotional both on and off stage (also surreal moment dancing with the characters from coffee and TV video who were in the crowd- did that really happen or was it a dodgy cider?) Aynsley Lister 2010 - 2am, Bourbon Street Bar, Purple Rain say no more. Pulp 2011 - Park - it was just one of those Glastonbury moments when everything aligns, great set, great crowd, sun shining (after previous days deluge), nicely alight with friends. Hives 2013 - so much energy for early in the day! Honourable mention to Gilly (the pianist) up in Green Fields!!!

Dub-You Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 From 2014-16, which is what I have to pick from: Arcade Fire - my first headliner, the first time I really got the scale of the pyramid crowd, and it was a banger. Robert Plant - never thought I would hear Led Zeppelin songs performed live. Got to do it standing in a puddle with my cousin, who I randomly found there. tUnEyArDs - my first "discovery" at the festival, went to see Jurassic 5, and TuneYards was on before. Spent far too long trying to figure out what the sparkly eyes were flashing on the West Holt actually were. Lionel Richie - culmination point of an epic weekend with a great bunch of mates, tired, dirty and happy, singing along in the sun. Lionel Saves. Art Garfunkel - another one I never thought I would see live, had a bit of a cry listening to him perform old Simon and Garfunkel songs, thinking about my dad. I've missed so many.

matichin Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 1. Neil Young - Pyramid 2009 (he's still there singing "Rockin in the free world" I think...) 2. Caribou - Park 2011 (dropping "Sun" during the horrendous downpour) 3. Yeah yeah yeahs / Bat for Lashes b2b, Other stage 2009 (perfect scheduling for me) 4. Chic - Pyramid 2017 (the Most fun) 5. Not my favourite, but most memorable was Orchestra of Syrian musicians on the Pyramid, 2016. The feeling around the site was one of shock and heartbreak, and won't forget it being preceeded by the Portishead SOS video. Genuinely felt the world change for the worse.
