In 1992 Carter USM headlined the Pyramid Stage at the Glastonbury festival. Only one song was captured on film ‘While You Were Out’ This is taken from the VHS ‘What Do You Think Of the Programme So Far?’
Saw Carter USM at Reading festival in 94,had a few beers with em backstage,good lads & good crack,festivals were mint then,different vibe in those days. ❤️❤️
I still have the yellow foam ball with the carter logo they threw into the crowd and yet I swear the gig was in broad daylight, mind you, I was totally fucked
God Glastonbury was fab back then. What a wonderful time capsule of a film. It’s just ridiculous now. I know we can’t expect everything to stay the same, that would be crazy, but back then you could take the kids to it. Afford it even if you weren’t wealthy. Now it’s just hideous, money money money, and über unfriendly. I suppose this is capitalism, monetising everything, including the alternative scene. A scene that was meant for everyone.
Bang on. That year I bought 2 tix from the Greenpeace shop on Holloway Road. £60 each. Now it's just a shit show of flags n selfies and Coldplay twats!
I was there, right down the front, tripping my nuts off on LSD. It was one of the best nights of my life. If I remember correctly the Levellers were on right before this set. It was fucking epic.
