Dave's Big Glastonbury 2004 review
Sorry about the long delay people! I've been away for a week. Got muddy, sunburnt, muddy and injured. Saw tons of music (and lots of random stuff). Very little in the way of drum and bass this year (boohoo). Here's my Glastonbury review, in the style of Santa's Christmas list:
Camping - nice
Toilets - nice
(hehe, we had the best crew camping ever)
Sun - nice
Mud - naughty
Circus fields - nice and random
Babyhead - nice
Kasabian ('oasis and kraftwerk' said the review - they weren't wrong) - naughty
Spree (drum and bass) - nice
Jim White - nice (but only coz he was so average)
Death b4 Dishonour (hip hop crew) - nice
Elbow - very nice
Snow Patrol - naughty
PJ Harvey - nice
Tindersticks - nice (but we had to go work halfway through)
Lost Prophets - naughty
Ben Harper - NICE!!!
The Egg - naughty (how are the mighty fallen)
Jane Taylor - nice
Tinariwen - nice! (backstage view too)
James Brown - very nice
Suzanne Vega - nice
Bill Bailey - very nice indeed (played on our stage - nearly didn't coz of the rain
40 ft praying mantis - nice (and French)
Naked dancing girls - nice
15 yr old jazz sax genius in the Banyan tree tent - nice (but naughty coz he couldn't sing)
Random electro band in some place - nice
Bunch of hippies jamming on didgeridoos and drums at four in the morning - nice
So there you have it, the most comprehensive Glastonbury review ever! I'll find some way of putting my pictures up on the net... And write a discourse on how Ben Harper showed everyone what a seminal festival performance really is.
