There's a special place in hell for whoever holds the "I love sausages" flag.

Swear they are at every set!

I said something of a similar sentiment last night during the Springsteen excerpt but it got lost as it was busy on here. I believe it was an advert from a sausage stand somewhere on site. As the issue of flags got quite high up agendas after 2009 (when the poor Beeb couldn't use half their cameras due to them) they got a personal warning that they were not to take their flag into the arenas. They did it again, because of course they did. Their stand never returned. Thats the story as I understand it. Could be wrong. It certainly hasn't been seen since.

Karma comes around eventually.

The damn thing still gets my blood pressure up though!

Dare I say it but the field doesn't look rammed for the beginning of this Bowie set...

Yeh I thought that...what's that about? Just seems like a gap in the middle behind sound box though?

 

 

Aaaah I love this one!!!!!

Ch-ch-ch-changes!!!!

Wish I could've gone to this but I was 8 at the time

All weekend as I've been watching the sets, my Mum will ask "were you at that one?"

"No, Mum.. I was 8. Don't think you'd have permitted it."

I’m 6ft2 and I recall not being able to see the stage during Kasabian in 2009 because there were so many flags.

Bowie 2000. Best set in the festival's history.

I made the same mistake  

Black Eyed Peas (Cringe. Worst. Choice. Ever. (possibly)).

Hey I had tickets for Blur at Hyde Park the weekend after is my excuse. Didn't want to spoil it. Gig Of The Decade that '09 performance wasn't it. Probably my biggest regret in fourteen (I think) festivals.

And The Prodigy are another of those acts that I've missed there at least three times due to shifts and clashes (Elbow and Pulp/Cocker being the other two that spring to mind). Never going to get to rectify that one properly now.

Another story was the stall owners said “somebody stole our sign, it wasn’t us...”. Spent NY and BS watching from what felt like right behind the twat

Is that what Life on Mars? is about?

[ghandi]

Saved to my Q box forever, technology, if only they could transport me back to 2000, if I didnt get a ticket I could get in anyway!

[fatyeti24]

You can say what you like about the Killers, but they had a far better light show than this guy. 

[JacquelineS]

Was Bowie never not at the height of his powers?

[PolygonWindow]

Was anyone on here there?

[tumbles]

When I was in hospital end of Jan off my tits on a combination of Morphine and Tramadol I was listening to absolute beginners on repeat for an entire day I think. Good and bad times together. Such a wonderful song ❤️

[ghandi]

It was in 2000, besides Bowie doesn't require lighting shows

Of course, they had to have something to distract the crowd from theiir obvious lack of performing and musical talent, lol

This Blur set is the one that forced me into action. I'd been watching for years saying I must go there one year. After this I just had to go. One of my biggest regrets is how late I left it and that I didn't get to see this live. 

I actually had a ticket for 2009 but handed it back in as was going on holiday to Barcelona instead.... my 1st year was 2010 instead, I don't regret the decision but that Blur set was amazing!!

Some would say Glass Spider. As it was the only time I saw him live, I’m going to agree with you. He was always at the height of his powers 😎
