Had great times at Glastonbury and Reading but seeing them now,they look a little soulless to say the least.

Judging by the reaction to the Bono protestors Glastonbury got moonlighting Met officers to do the security this year.

Regarding my "hippies" cooment: I take it all back!
Judging by the BBC coverage I've seen, I think Glasto would be mightily improved if it were full of hippies.
Also, as Ben Goldacre (of Guardian / Bad Science) pointed out, it would be better if the smaller stages, rather than hving "small bands" which are bad versions of commercially successful genres, had good bands doing "odd music".

I suppose it's a bit like watching Leeds United play football on tv and only seeing racists & thugs being paid too much money when in fact if you were actually involved in the proceedings by actually being there then you would experience something entirely different.markfiend wrote:Regarding my "hippies" cooment: I take it all back!

I'm more hippy than middle class and don't read the Guardian but my probation lady thinks Ben Goldacre doesn't know the difference between Pulp and s**t.
I had a great time

I enjoyed Glastonbury in my 20s - and in decent weather. I remember one year getting a free ticket (before prices went insane like now) and only going for one day and night (didn't bother taking a tent, just something to *ahem* keep me awake) due to the mud. Have seen some awesome performances - Radiohead playing OK Computer, for, I think, the first time; Dodgy were good; Herbie Hancock; Pulp; Terry Callier. Mostly the fields away from the Main Stages are the places to be.
I do remember the first year they had a dedicated "Dance Music" tent - the local What's On ran the headline "Now is the Summer of our disco-tent"... spent a few 'lost' hours in there.
