Annoyingly "Glastonbury Man" from 2000 has been blocked in the UK and isn't on iPlayer.  So it's totally unavailable apart from an 8 minute clip on here:

Goode versus Eavis is a fascinating insight into earlier years, and a few of the batshit crazy neighbours he has had to put up with, all in good grace. I understand her giant replica instrument of agonising death is still visible from certain areas of the site.

Gutted. I guess I should start a new thread rather than hijack this one really...

The part where Michael is remembering Jean and getting upset is a real choker. 

I think I have a copy of that doc somewhere. 

Glastopia: Glastonbury After Hours is my favourite documentary. I watch it a few times a year but particularly the weekend before the festival, just to turn the excitement up to 11. I have a copy of this one too.

In Goode v Eavis there was some mention of a Giant Cross that was erected facing the Pyramid Stage . Any one ever see it. Is it still there

It is still there I believe (or at least last time I checked), maintained now by her daughter is it, who is a bit less hostile to the festi.

Where would be the best place to glimpse the said Cross?

It's in the middle of the Tangerine Fields campsite just opposite the top of Muddy Lane at Mary's Gate.  You can make it out on Google Maps here.....

Anne Goodes family try to maintain the Christian values she upheld, and even in recent years there has been a small wooden shelter at the bottom of the Tangerine Fields site during the festival where there is some Christian literature and they have a small Sunday service.

It's not at all in your face or 'preachy', and in keeping with the ethos of inclusivity that spans every aspect of the Festival I very much respect it, and the family's views.

Coincidentally I spotted this on Sunday when I visited the site - didn’t think anything of it at the time but now it all makes sense.

I have been going since 2013 and have never seen it. A visit to Spec-savers might be in order.

I’ve never seen it during the festival so presumably it’s obscured by other stuff.

You can see it quite easily, but you need to be high up on the other side of the valley, so have a look if you're at the Stone Circle, Crow's Nest etc.

Brill thanks for that. The Cross is part of Glastonbury Legend and I didn't know a thing about it. Such is life.

I've got a photo of it from when I stayed in Tangerine Fields a few years ago, I just can't get to that photo right now!

What do you reckon this is / these are? Reckon it is where the oil drum bins rest when the festival isn't on?

That's exactly what it is 👍

[Jay Pee]

Thanks. In what seems like a dim and distant life ago, i did this for a living.

Unfortunately, it usually resulted in weaponry being dropped on people's heads a short time later..
