Best Glasto Sets You've seen

[gmb1992]

The XX in 2013 on The Other Stage.

They closed it on the Sunday and the crowd was nice and chilled with lots of fires and people huddled around. It just really felt right like the perfect time and place for their set.

Radiohead at Old Trafford cricket ground in 2008 remains my favourite gig of all time. Worth missing Glasto for that year.

I was at that as well, me and my mate both nearly got kicked out for throwing ale over each other after I got pissed off after he accidentally covered my white T-shirt with mustard off a hot dog he’d just bought. This was all due to us both being really drunk after a mate of ours was working on the bar and kept giving us free booze.

That would have been a great time to watch them. My favourite record of theirs is In Rainbows though. 

Don’t really know if I’ve got a favourite record, most of them all stand up really well on their own. Here’s another story for you. Saw them a day before my 18th birthday in Amsterdam in 2006. They were booked to play 2 dates, we saw them of the first of the two. For some unbeknown reason they sent me in the post tickets for both days, so I kept hold of it and thought I’d try and sell it to a tout outside the venue. Got to the venue and sold it to a tout after a bit of a discussion, I think for the price of the ticket (about €35). Anyway that night Phil Selway’s mum died and they cancelled the following night’s show, so the tout ended up €35 euro’s out of pocket because he obviously couldn’t sell it on ??

Oh, I like this. From 2007 I actually have notes and lists. Before that I am going for ‘most memorable’ rather than best. Leafing through the programmes, many of my favourites played (Primal Scream, Van Morrison, Nick Cave, Sharon Shannon) and I must have seen them, but it is all a bit of a Blur - who I am sure I saw as well, however it was a Blur headline set at Roskilde that really stands out in my memory instead.
