Awesome 😮I was there, shweet 24 year old🎉😂totally the best of my 6…the last one 2009 made me decide not to go again..too corporate £££ and phones ffs and posh knobs, unlike 95 which was a mad array of normal and extreme folk from ALL walks of life❤😂all for a tenner😂
My first of 6 Glastonbury festival experiences and by a country mile THE best! E, mushrooms, shmoke, LSD😂🎉 AND Oasis, Pulp, Massive Attack Sound System for 12 hours on the Friday, Tricky, Orbital, Prodigy, The Shamen, Potishead which didn’t happen,😮The Levellers and Jeff bloody Buckley❤sooo much more…oh and crumbs a beautiful HOT 🌞 sunny weekend of mayhem and love 🧡 was 24…am 54 now!!! And all for £10😂😂😂😂😂
Think I might have gone to this one but not sure memorie's a bit hazy. Was there other party's there aound that time? I remember there been a lot of sound systems there
Beck’s harmonica playing, not particularly memorable. Beck’s Devil’s Haircut, priceless! Also, interesting to see the original incarnation of Smashing Pumpkins here. That will change very shortly after this appearance.
Hi! Thanks for the perfomance of Robbie Williams. I would like to know if you have Lazy Days and There She Goes (I just have an uncomplete radio broadcast). Also Im looking for V98 broadcasted BBC or ITV. Regards from Argentina!
I took 10 Es that weekend... Primal Scream and Chemical Brothers...we couldn't find the Prodigy, mind you had seen them a few years before at Tribal Gathering 😂
@@chriscassidy5362 didn’t even know the scream team were on and I followed them around like mad back then ~ Ian Brown’s first solo gig too, I knew nothing about it. Apparently he came into the tent in a hood with a flaming torch n nearly set fire to the tarpaulin
97 was one of the only 2 years that I went to Glastonbury (94 being the other) - the bad weather and boggy conditions were horrible, but the music lineup amongst all stages was extremely strong, and made me forget how much the conditions sucked - in fact, if I had to choose revisiting the festival in 1997 or visiting it in perfect conditions in the 21st century, I’d choose 97 every time - the spirit of Glastonbury was alive back then - it’s a corporate, middle class, temple of hypocrisy with mostly truly awful music these days
Sure i think you are right, even though wet, it was much better musically than now. They should scale back the festival, make it smaller, less stages but improve the quality. I did hear though that they are having problems finding good bands now-a-days, there just arent the artists? not sure if that is true, they are trying to get Eminem for next year. like he is 25yrs past his sell by date
@@webm8 see, that’s the problem too - Eminem is not what I consider to be keeping with the (old) Glastonbury vibe - too mainstream and typical of a corporate music event The real spirit of Glastonbury was always the alternative music, the indie bands, the bands that want nothing to do with politics - these types of bands don’t want anything to do with Glastonbury anymore because of the hypocrisy of the place - it would be too much like getting booked on a TV chat show or having their music used in a TV advertisement
@@MiniLemmy For sure, I would say that since the daughter took over, it feels like its going in the wrong direction. But it has for a long time before she did take on the festival. It is a great event and maybe they inadvertently created a monster they can no longer control? It is so hard to comment as every generation feels "it was better in my day", and I'm sure the kids there this summer had the best time of their lives. I remmeber the old bands on stage with lots of feedback, the original pyramid stage and you could just walk in with no fence back in the 80s. Maybe you are on to something there, the bigger bands want that ego thing of saying they played at G'bury, while the younger ones are trying to do the opposite? They do have an amazing new bands stage though. I think i would rather go to that tent as its own festival. Hey ho.
Wow... ! That was an eye-opener. Some of us sit in our houses. and wonder how long we can last in this current " cost of living crisis ". Should I find myself in the position of these travellers.. authority will deny my civil rights and treat me with ill-will. Surely the freedoms of the travellers have been grossly abused.. ? In America, that might have turned into a million doller lawsuit.
Some great people some awful people some great times some awful times. I’m glad I did it all and I’m glad I don’t do it now. Thank you life for letting me experience all that and not a phone in sight!
Some people may forget? How quick DJ Eclpise was! And Mix Master Max. Dj Rapid. GForce. And Hype (you may have heard of him😂)... These times are super special, super dark and F**K the ungovernment ❤. Now scratch it up like a UK B Boy passing onto thru true. RIP MC DUKE NORTH LONDON ❤❤❤😢❤❤❤
I can guarantee Beltram didn't expect this to be such a big hit! But I can probably guarantee that Joey wouldn't say this was his best achievement musically 😮.... No! This track was important back then as it had a message. But. Became too commercial. Even back in late 91 I could not bare seeing or hearing this tune as a lot of people missed the point. Go check all music Joey produced! I'm not a personal friend of him. But musically and sonically he was the Mentazm ❤❤❤
Glastonbury 97 was one of the 2 Glastonburys that I did attend (by scaling the fence of course!) - it was one of the last really great Glasto’s despite the boggy conditions because of the rich quality of music across ALL stages, the only bummers that year being the weather and clashing quality band performance times - the fact that I barely remember the weather being a testament to how great the whole event was
The mud was crazy. There was a massive hole in the ground near one of the gates to the main stage field, invisible because of mud... people were falling down it - splat - every couple of minutes, like some sort of cartoon, ending up neck deep.
@@invade81 what made it worse was the straw they put down on the paths to try to soak up the mud - I had mud and straw sticking to my boots increasingly until I ended up resembling a shire horse lol
@@MiniLemmy oh, yeah. All day trudging about with extra lbs of mud stuck to your legs, after a while hoping it would rain again to loosen up the mud. Slept with feet sticking out of the tent as it was too much work to take off boots. There were reports of people getting trenchfoot and then e-coli in the mud people were diving face first into. Bit of a novelty that time... It was different the following year - sunny on the Friday and then along came the rain again, changed the vibe immediately
@@webm8 popular music it seems to me was strictly a 1900s phenomenon. They continued beyond the millenium, of course albeit with ever diminishing returns but the day I don’t recognise any names at all in lineups is fast coming to pass.. will be strange because so many hanger-ons have almost been validating these things.
Anyone have a video (or is it on any of these full episodes) of Urban Hype - 'living in a fantasy' on Dance Energy. It was definitely on it as I remember recording it on VHS, but alas who knows where that went! Song was released in 1992.
@@webm8 it's actually in this one,season 2 ep 3, about 33mins in, but sound is blocked due to copyright . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HWxyzRyoV_U.htmlsi=87OzWTYqePRO_joG
@@paulaxelfoley ah ok, it was the House Party episodes, i dont think i recorded many of them or didnt keep them on vhs. Not sure, but i prob thought it was getting too commercial and my music tastes were changing also
I played Acid Techno on IMMERSION sound system on the travellers field on the last night ...7 hours ..2 or three hours of that back to back with a couple of mates(Ross and Chris Drinks ...I was roasted on Acid ,E and speed ...it was wild
I remember recording this off the TV & played it to death …used to love the Ch4 coverage. Went to my first festival the following year. Think the accoustic band at the end were called ALT
Went there for The Stone Roses, but Pulp played instead, wanted to hate them but turned out to be brilliant, E's & whizz... definitely the highlight of the set, the whole thing was very corporate & GlastoDisney even back then.
