First and last

[Crazyfool01]

post a photo from your earliest Glastonbury that you can find .... and the last one you went to ..... mine with my brother and cousin in 2003 ... and this year when the champions league trophy decided to float across the pyramid crowd in my direction

First is from 2004, I'm on my fifth Glastonbury by this time, but photos were much more expensive and harder to distribute in the earlier years. I'm on the right drinking vodka. This is mere hours before I get so sunburnt I have to wear two hats.

Second is my most recent Glastonbury photo - of The Park all lit up like a Christmas tree.

Last is also from this festival. You can probably work out where and when.

That Proclaimers set hasn't been getting enough love on here. What a magnificent way to start a Saturday.

Sunshine on Leith was quite a moment.

Not quit!

I went in 2009, but alone and didn't take any photos of myself really. This is from 2010, the year of the mega-heat. At the top of the ribbon tower - I'm on the right - at about 5am, walking back from the SE corner, a great time to go up and no queues. 

Bottom is 2017, during Glass Animals, with my dad and step-mum, both Glasto virgins at the time, managed to get them a ticket in the resale, minutes after people had claimed they were completely sold out. Amazing feeling and great to have them there.

One of the all time great heartbreaking jams. Craig and Charlie have got more cuts than my man Chuck Chillout.

[FuzzyDunlop]

I had a perfect spot for the Proclaimers.... and yes, it was a perfect start to Saturday.

Must have been standing right next to you.

Cap In Hand probably the most political song to get an airing on the Pymild this year, even with Stormzy doing a Fuck Boris wheel up.

First is from 2000, my 5th festival, in the old tipi field.  The second is from this year, taken from pretty much the same spot.

Yep was so good. A highlight of 2019.

@stuartbert two hats I was right beside you for them.

I missed the Proclaimers due to work and was disappointed it wasn't on iplayer when I got back

Moist-eyed Pyramid pit swayathon @ like 12 noon.

2003, Stone Circle, with dodgy Black Sabbath t-shirt, no idea what I was smoking...

2019, Wednesday morning, first one up to the Glastonbury sign

2004, dreadful camping, right by The Glade and the BBC stage as was (It was this dry for about 5 minutes)

2003, Pyramid

I hadn't originally put them on my list, but I think it was you waxing lyrical about them in the build up that changed my mind.

Absolutely glorious. Toss up between Sunshine on Leith and Letter From America for me.

I can add missing The Proclaimers and Bjorn Again to my list of 2019 own goals. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Bjorn Again have been doing the same set and the same jokes for about 20 years but it's never not funny when Benny starts rapping in Take a Chance On Me.

Though docked half a star for not performing original and best sadbanger The Winner Takes It All.

I can argue this is the best 5 song run the festival saw all weekend.

The true Voight-Kampff replicant test is if you can make your way through Sunshine On Leith without going a wee bit wobbly.

Sorry, clumsy fingers I meant to upvote but slipped.  I live in Leith and have sung this more than once in the Port of Leith. xx

I know this is a ridiculous thing to say about a tribute act, but their presentation of the songs seemed a bit dated, somewhat out of step with how ABBA's music has been reappraised in a more serious way in the last 10 years.

The rap was still funny though

It's up there with Tender for expressing the beauty of heartbreak.

I don't live there any more but I used to live near Easter Road and you'd often hear it sung from the terraces.

It's simply one of the most moving songs ever written

The fact that people hadn’t been banging on about The Proclaimers made me feel that I didn’t miss much but know deep down it was a massive fail on my part.

I take it back, this picture is from 2000, not 2004.
