Homer Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 My mate (Dave, in case you were wondering) just sent me this. (The only Glasto I've missed since I first went in 94!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishman Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Ah, '97. I spent a LOT of time in the Dance Tent. I *think* it was during DP that some guy climbed the one of the central trusses in the tent and they had to stop the set until he came down. Once everyone started booing it freaked him out and he just froze. Just say no, kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha - weirdly I'd never heard that before but I read this about an hour ago on the comments on that Youtube vid - so looks like you are correct! "I was at this brilliant gig at Glasto. Anyone else remember that they had to stop halfway through the set after some tit decided to climb up into the lighting rig in the big top? The safety guys made daft punk stop playing until he came down - he was not at all popular, with anyone....." First festival I went to was Reading 93. Senser kept stopping as people were climbing up the tent pole and crowd diving from, like, 20 feet plus (that's, like, so Reading). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate climbed the central pole in the dance tent at Reading during Aphex Twin in 2002 after he had consumed a rather large cocktail of substances.

Thanks for that - I'd put a message out to a mate who was also there to try and confirm. I seem to remember there was loads of people climbing up the previous year (yeah, I know, '95) and no one gave a shit. But again, 'twas a long time ago. (Was it Banco de Gaia? I wish I'd kept some notes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I'd kept some notes). I'm digging deep here, but I remember watching Plastic Man (Richie Hawtin?) in 94 or 95 and there was a traveller type in front of me being incredibly charismatic, facing backwards away from the stage and playing up to the crowd and he kept setting parts of himself on fire while we all laughed/cheered. The highlight was when he gave us all a 'aren't I a wag' look and set light to the person in front of him's shorts (I'm not making this up). The bloke on fire eventually noticed and took it in good grace/put it out. Milllenials: this was what Glasto was like in the mid 90s (a bit like Mad Max).

fred quimby Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 ha, I don't remember it being Daft punk being stopped but I am sure it happened a few times in the dance tent though. Obviously it was. Back left hand speaker is where I was though I loved that dance tent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was straight after they'd tried to suck all the mud out with the toilet emptying machine, pressed blow by accident and filled the place with shit (insert own joke about Chase and Status subsequently stinking the place up).

Suprefan Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Glad I was able to see the Pyramid 4 times and a dj set with no helmets. Good times were had and Ill never forget it. 2027 or 2028 and they come back if you want to believe their numerology game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatyeti24 Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 An old flyer that I have. I don't know why I have it still, or in the first place as I didn't go to Sankey's until many years later. There were some good parties though in October 1995! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
