My Fat Mistake

[BL1ND T1G3R]

Just watched FBS on iPlayer absolutely shut The Park down with an incredible set !

I’ve made a massive mistake watching Guns and Roses instead 😢

Did he do anything other than press play?

Smashed it out the park glad I got there early

I thought he was a bit dull TBH, although we were off to the right and the sound was dreadful.

Me too, but again I think we were in a bad spot as it was so busy. We left before the end but my friend said the last bit was excellent. 

Tbh I think I just listened to so much hard techno on Thursday night that after that all other dance music seemed a bit lame, ha! So my fault, not FBS.

Makes me laugh that he still pulls in massive crowds on his 20 sets a weekend or whatever, but everyone gets pissy about Chris Martin being there a few times.

I squeezed out of the Astley/Blossoms set after 9 songs because they started 25 mins late and I wanted to catch the Manics… they were great but watching the end of The Smiths set back and seeing There Is A Light… that was a tactical error. (Side note: I hate it when the stages fall behind schedule)

thoroughly entertained me 🙂

I watched FBS on Friday Night at the Levels. 

Mixed a version of Smack my Bitch up straight into Are you ready for Love? by Elton John. A weekend highlight.

As Id seen FBS the night before, I left the Park after Leftfield & watched the last hour of GnR. 

I dont really have any regrets. I do think I perhaps should have watched Viagra Boys instead of the Hu, but I loved the Hu. I think its more the fact I wish it was possible to see both.

I saw a bit of his Park set from the hill and then some of his Greenpeace too. Enjoyed both, he knows how to put together a set and work the crowd. Never blown away by him but he's an absolute pro. I had no idea he was at the levels, glad it was fun.

My mates watched 7-8 songs at GnR then headed to FBS. Couldn't get near and the sound was bobbins, so they also had regrets 🤷‍♀️

ooooh, got there late (coming from avalon and fishermens friends) so can I balance that hate with 'phew' since it meant I missed less 😄

Managed to get near the front on the left. Next to the guy who surfed on the mattress.

Just need to enter the Park field from by the tower and cut in at the bar. You can get close and have loads of space. Everyone coming from the right stops and creates a big wall.

My regret is my friend getting lost for 2 hours by Arcadia on Saturday night and kind of dampening our night. (He was fine, obviously) 

The lesson? Insist any renound liabilities in your group have a wee phone charger on them at all times!

He was the TBA due to Michael Bibi sadly having to pull out due to illness.

I try to have no regrets at Glastonbury tbh (and I missed Bowie in 2000 which was ridiculously stupid) as you can never be everywhere.
 

Would have liked to have seen Maggie Rogers and Rick/Blossoms on the Saturday pm but my wife was really struggling with the heat. If we’d made it to them she would have been in no fit state to enjoy Lizzo how we did so I’m happy with my choices and catching up on iPlayer.

Going to watch Elton because I felt I 'should' and missing Candi Staton. I need to learn that I dont need to go and see massive headliners that Im not really into just because they are icons, Ive left The Rolling Stones and Stevie Wonder for the same reason in the past. Left after 2 songs and went on to have a brilliant night elsewhere so all good

Vintage Trouble in Avalon were great... but whatever floated your boat was the right choice.!

how did you manage mobility wise ? saw your daughter and she said you were doing ok 

[mario man]

It looked incredible from where we were up on the hill

One of the highlights of the weekend for me (his Park set), and I've seen him a few times before and also been underwhelmed but I got a great spot so maybe that does matter like what people have suggested above. I also regret seeing Fred Again.. over Young Fathers, and AM over Hot Chip.

Fred over the young YF lads is the real clanger here.

Our group really hyped up Fred, and it gave me a bit of FOMO as knew he'd attract a big crowd and it could've been one of those 'I was there moments' but it was quite meh in all honesty.

Young Fathers absolutely blew me away.

Goes into my top 10 Glastonbury sets of all time. Easily my highlight of 2023.

Loved everything I saw this year, but YF were a level above
