At the Glastonbury one, they put a lad in an inflatable boat and sent him out over the crowd during 'The Boatman'.

Must have been a bit bladdered after all cos I can't remember that

During the 92 one they played the main stage in the afternoon. There was a massive crowd. Probably around the time of 'One Way'. Carter headlined one stage with Shakespeare's Sister(??!!!??!) on one of the others.

First live band I ever saw, they were at Exeter Uni and I loved their stuff for a while before levelling the land first came out.
Saw their levelling the land anniversary at Brixton Academy in London a few years back and they are still an amazing live band.

Great to listen to something just a bit different.

Well I met you in 82, over a crate of beer and not a few
I cracked a can and so did you, we're going to change the world ..

He wasn't there that year. If he was I'd probably have gone and watched him which is a bit scary. Remember this year well as I'd only just passed my driving test and me and my mate decided to go there even though we knew nothing about the festival. Ticket cost £60. Drove all the way from Anglesey, furthest I'd driven before that was to Llandudno. Feeling old now.
