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. Please upload both if you have them!

Unfortunately, it usually resulted in weaponry being dropped on people's heads a short time later.. I do hope you asked strangers on the internet to confirm that, what you thought you were looking at was, indeed, what you were looking at, before dropping said weaponry on peoples heads. In an, "Is that an army or a wedding convoy?", type of way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner1990 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Slightly different, but the whole of the 1998 BBC coverage is on youtube and includes a lot of 'video nation' clips from people living in the village including Emily Eavis.

Hotchilidog Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 The showdown series is very good and sympathetic to both villagers and the festival I felt. Regardless of our love of the festival we'd be completely myopic to not recognise that some antisocial and inconsiderate behaviour on the part of festival goers did indeed cause some distress to locals. That said Michael (displaying the patience of a saint) clearly took everything on board and was always there to hear and respond to concerns. The festival is a different beast to what it was when that series was filmed and thanks to those changes the festival is still here. A highly recommended watch for everyone particularly people like myself who have only visited the festival in the post superfence era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had several groups of friends going from the mid 90's onwards and I still kick myself that I didn't get involved until 2004 and post-super fence. Most of them agreed that the anarchy of the late 90's/2000 would have been right up my street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make money from the festival, so I guess that's why they are less hostile these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think my reasoning at the time was that it was too far away and I didn't like much of the line up and Reading was closer and much more to my tastes. Oh dear....

fatyeti24 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 My personal favourite is this, filmed in 1993 and released several times since. The DVD is loaded with extras including footage of the old market raves. It captures the vibe of the place better than any other film of the festival I've seen.

Yes I have the extended and HD version as well - like 24 hours long or something if you watch it all back to back. Love it. Will never be like that again but you can hear faint echos of it even today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that its focus isn't bands on stages - they are there of course - but people making their own way through the festival. '94 was my first festival, and I reckon after '95 (I wasn't there) things changed quite a lot, but like you say you can still hear the echoes. Although, as mentioned on the other thread, some aspects of it haven't aged too well. It does contain a bit too much footage of women getting dressed.
