I was there in 98, and we were out of there by Saturday morning.

Yep. Take down those data relay masts and it would be a different story I reckon even today...

One can hope one day they do!

Self own imho

Lightweight! 😄

Even if there's no mobile signal I'm not going to jump up and down on the spot for an hour while I watch the Lightning Seeds.

I love the fact that no phones are being held up in the air on the 90's clips - probably because it was too heavy to carry from the car....

Best of 1998 on BBC4 bringing a lot of memories of being a teenager!

Bringing on memories of how much Gomez sucked.

Have to say I really don’t get that vibe so much at Glastonbury compared to other gigs and festivals. Always seems one of the most engaged and active crowds to me.

I went to the front for Liam Gallagher in 2019...was dead...me and a couple of others tried to get some dancing going no one else near us seemed interested!

Levellers '94 on the other hand...

No way, cos of the weather? Looked insane. 

Not that there's fuck all I can do about it, but I'm so gutted I didn't go earlier than my 2011 debut. It's such an important part of my life and I've immersed myself in endless online footage like I was there.

Literally just been on BBC4. Ian Broudie doing his thing and the front third of the crowd doing HIIT for no fucking reason.

I was bouncing up & down at the other stage to Asian Dub Foundation while that was going on. Still by far the worst weather I've ever seen at a festival!

My take - and I've said this before - is that bouncing up and down on the spot at any gig was a 1990s trend.

Nothing to do with mobile phones.  It didn't happen in the 60s  70s or much in the 80s. 

I only started doing festivals in 1999 and have got involved in a lot of pogoing in my early days especially at Reading Festival.

Bounce all you want on your own volition. But bouncing isn't a good way to enjoy a gig.

So Reading's a bit behind the curve

Behind you it was all smoke flares and nutters mate. I kind of remember it being this way when I just used to just squat at the barrier all day at Puramid back in early 90s. You kind of become insulated over whats going behind?

Thing is live he was always terribly out of tune iirc, which often became embarrassing- better off as a producer, Dodgy and the like..
