Best Glastonbury performance

Ihaters · March 7, 2019

Been there half a dozen times and the headliners are always great, but it's a few of the not so usual ones that stood out for me. Moby, NIN and Ladysmith Blackmambosa or however it's spelt stand out... oh and Bob Marley ('s son) and the wailers... I swear it's Bob though.

Still prefer Reading, Sonisphere or Download tbh but it used to be an amazing festival and living an hour away from it didn't hurt either

Thinking back the levellers were some of my best memories there. Think it was 92 on the recommendation of a mate. [Poor language removed] loved I'd despite getting badly sunburnt

Dunno, can never see any of them for sodding flags and banners.

To extend it to festival performances, because Glastonbury is rubbish, Nirvana at Reading '92 is the best festival performance of all time, fight me.

That was the headline wasn't it. 91 on the Friday was absolutely miles better both in terms of Nirvana's performance and the entire bill.

Felt sorry for Chapterhouse (who I quite liked) that year. Nirvana were unfollowable.

I used to go a lot as a kid, 2 best (weirdest) memories watching Van Morrison (1982) with my mum, when he went off, the main stage tannoy (public address system) asked if there was a Mrs Bol-UK and her son (by first names). My mum who would have been mashed, panicked and thought someone must have died, went to the back of the Pyramid stage and it was my dad, I had not seen him for about 5 years!

Then in 1984 when I was 9 watching Ian Dury, I disappeared, my mum, almost certainly mashed again, searched everywhere and found me at the very front on some randoms shoulders dancing like a mad man! This was before Yew tree suspicions.

That's a hell of a line-up.

A quite astounding line up, shame Reading seems to have become a bit meh over the past few years.

Possibly down to the lack of young quality bands coming through ?
