Guest Had Enough Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Pampam - 2014-06-27 9:39 PM Are there many on this forum who have had the good fortune to go and camp at glastonbury this year? (Thats on my wish lust of things to do ) pp:) I once stayed on a super CC farm CL just outside Glastonbury. It had a lovely view of the Tor. But I don't think I could stand the noise of the festival. I've never had a wish lust although when I was younger I had many lust wishes. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barryd999 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I priced it up for the van and it was over £500! Used to go in the late 80's early 90's when I was a youngster. Back then you could drive your car into the main field. I remember in 1989 sat on the roof of my battered Renault 5 (complete with glittery stars on it) drinking scrumpy in the sun parked right in front of the Pyramid stage watching the sound checks on the Wednesday afternoon. bet you cant do that now. I really enjoyed the coverage last night but I do wish they would show some of the other stuff going on in the other fields and tents. It really is a big city and probably warrents an entire program about the other stuff going on not just the music. I suspect its like a lot of these things you did when you were younger. Try and revisit them and its never the same. Bit like an old Girlfriend or mistress that was super sexy 25 years ago! 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinhood Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 JudgeMental - 2014-06-29 8:29 AM I'm going to see Neil Young with him at Hyde park in a few weeks...can handle that :-D .....your level of enjoyment will depend on "which" Neil Young turns up. ;-) I saw him in concert in Nottingham just before his Glastonbury performance 5 years ago, and he was excellent (one of the best gigs that I have been to and an absolute Tour de Force), but if not in the mood, he can be dire. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barryd999 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Yes but all they show is music. There are 101 different things going on at Glasto. Not just music. I think it would be entertaining enough just to send a camera crew around the festival. Talk to the festival goers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them made me look normal. One year we met some blokes who were Warlocks or White witches or something like that drinking scrumpy out of WWII shells. Probably accountants from Basingstoke or something. There used to be a Travellers field down a lane about quarter of a mile from the main festival area. That kicked off on the Wednesday and went on for about a week. The stage was a flat bed truck and it was like a scene out of a Mad Max movie. I saw Devo and Hawkwind there though. I think it was banned in the early 90's though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulmold Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 ''Tab of acid and a hawkwind gig, Ah..those were the days! Usually followed with a lights on police raid! :D' Just as an aside re. Hawkwind.

Usually followed with a lights on police raid! :D Saw Hawkwind 1971, Amethyst club Preston. During the day it was The Hibernian (an irish drinking club) but the student types (me included) had a blues night when it transformed into the Amethyst. Acid...who the fec is acid......nothing stronger than a few puffs of mary wanna make those eyes at me! Severe coughing fit put me off bob hope forever. It'll soon be over, then back to vanning! regards Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capcloser Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Been to Glastonbury Festival 5 times,lucky enough to work there for 2 of them,litter picking sounds a rubbish job(lol),but we had a great time and you certainly find some strange things,for instance enough beer to have 3 or 4 cans every evening,and some sort of mixed herbs in a baggy! Everything each team finds is shared out amongst that team and food was provided by the festival,plus the ID card gave you discounts at the food stalls.Great all round and you can still catch the bands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capcloser Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Oh and saw hawkwind and another brilliant band who's name escapes me on the travellers field one year aswell,had a walk about and looked at some amazing bus and truck conversions even looked in a few that were very well converted,didnt see many tax discs tbough-------- (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
