The footage was originally shot on U-Matic video and 16mm film, the video in particular is showing its age and is of very poor technical quality. The original film included recordings of live performances by James, Pale Saints, Boo Yaa T.R.I.B.E., Outback, Hothouse Flowers and World Party (amongst others); however, these had to be removed after a perfectly justified and completely reasonable notification of copyright infringement from World Party. Fortunately those lovely people from Assassins Of Sound graciously allowed the use of some of their wonderful music - thanks to Lydia, Alex, Rob and Steve.

I was there in 90 I was 19 with three of my friends. We bumped into a guy who didn't live that far from us. He was selling acid, they were thick and had a luminous yellow star on them. We tripped balls ALL DAY Saturday. Adamski was awesome and the afterglow lasted well into the early hours. There was a sound system playing Eek-a-Mouse dub all night near where we set up our tents it was easily the best day of my life and I'm 52 now.Nothing in the last thirty three years has come even close.

Oh, Face of trips, never heard that term, only sheet of blotters or strip of Dots, as far as I remember we took a strip ( in Sellotape) of Blue Dots they were full on, tripped all weekend as usual at Glastonbury. I started going in 1980 when it was more like a village community atmosphere like you felt you new everyone after the second day, of course we didn’t though haha. The tickets back then were only £8 which we bought directly from the main guy of CND at the London office, fuck knows how others got their tickets haha 🌻🌎✊🏽

Great little film! Lucky to have it in the days before moblie phones. I was there, visiting from canada, my only glasto. What a time! I don’t even remember the rain. Bought live tapes of the festival performances on site at a booth called Glastonbury Tapes where they were cranking out cassettes of the previous day’s performances. I bought the Cure and Sinead. They didn’t record World Party i think they said. Bummer. A couple years ago i came across a bootleg CD of Hawkwind at Glastonbury 90. What?! Turns out they played the travellers field in the middle of the night. I had no idea until i found the CD!. Also i was super keen to see Green On Red and Julian Cope but they both cancelled! Can’t believe it was 35 years ago!

I remember 1989 and 1990 being excellent festivals, though 1990 was pretty wet and muddy. When I went back in 1992 the festival had totally changed. I never bothered going back after that, it got way too big, way too expensive and the vibe had changed. Some nice memories here, thanks.

@thekarmafarmer608 8 дней назад

I worked on the litter picking for 89 and 90, under Brian (who died in a mountaineering accident a year or two later). It was a great time. Unfortunately, 90 had a darker side that some might remember. The security were all hired from some company that were very aggressive. They started by impounding some of the buses of travellers. So in retaliation (as the buses were kept in fenced and inaccessible areas) travellers stole and trashed a number of their land rovers. Then, black Luke (I call him that as that`s what he called himself - a well known figure I met up with the following year, whilst living at Camberwell Grove squat (Groove Park Rave centre and home of the Full Moon Club)) and his mob went trashing a bus with a guy in it. They hit a bus traveller with a crow bar. Someone pulled out a shotgun and shot it above a few of us. There was so much happened that year. In a bid to get rid of hangers on after the festival (mainly brew crew) Michael was supposed to have broken the sewage pipe next to the water pipe and a load of people came down with something really bad. However, great memories all the same. I still have a couple of photos.

@MrG77 8 дней назад

I remember when I went there was all this black guys wearing camo gear ,they were putting ladders up to the fence and telling people they can get in that way (even though they had tickets) and when you got over the other side a heap of them would beat you up with bats and weapons and Rob you. They even killed a guy i heard. They asked me to go up the ladder but we just said we have tickets its ok. Got a real bad vibe. Very sad.🙏

@thekarmafarmer608 8 дней назад

@@MrG77 Ye, I didn`t remember about the ladders til you just said. Don`t remember the death. Perhaps I heard about it an just thought it must`ve been hype. People talk about Michael like he epitomised the freedom movement. He was tolerant in most cases but actually, my memory of him was a bit of a fascist. He was a business man primarily, of course. `89 was a different vibe. Much more what I remember as wholesome. I was a filthy crusty and stayed that way for years, moving through Europe. Helped kick start the rave scene in London in `88, Camberwell children`s home. I was interviewed by radio station that turned out to be police in disguise to scope the place. I was the last there. Stayed on a squatted site with 2000DS, behind Central Station in Amsterdam. My first son was conceived there. Moved to start a dance scene in west Ireland, where I DJ`d. Sort of left the scene in `96 after my brother died in Ireland. Miss those days now though.

Never the same again. 89 was the last true happy Glastonbury with progressive likeminded individuals. Wasn’t about the bands, it was a Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts. It was beautiful.

Thanks for sharing this, bought back a lot of memories. Funny seeing that queue of traffic at the start - we spent the night in that in our ratty yellow Renault 4. At some point around dawn we were stopped next to a layby where the Police were doing spot searches. I said to my gf of the time "See told you, just as well we didn't bring anything with us". She replied "Oh I did but don't worry I'll just drop it in this coke can, they'll not search that". With that one of the cops walks away from the car they were searching with a drink can in a plastic evidence bag. Fortunately as one of the cops walks to get another car (us), the traffic edged forward and the car behind us copped it instead. Yes this was the year of the munters on security. We were camped near the entrance on the right of the main stage and in the early hours heard the security 'deal' with someone. But mainly I remember the music (and perhaps a little mud) and above all The Cure.

Hmmm, wasn't 1990 the year Eavis's security went nuts and some of them got prosecuted for having molatov cocktails lined up in their billet at Eavis's farmhouse? And ever since Eavis has propagated the lie that the travellers were throwing molatovs rather than his security who had them? And if I remember correctly, his security stole a truck after beating up the owner- a bloke from the Green Field- and all the Rainbow types from the Green Field mobilised into an enraged, meat deprived, stick-wielding and extremely angry lynch mob? And the travellers joined them in amazement and solidarity, and were ultimately blamed for the whole thing? Hmmm, Yes it was.

this was the festival where Mindscape - a rave unit located bang opposite our stall gave me some ideas for the future .. they were like totally quiet in the day like some submarine hiding in the depths then bang on 22:00hrs they would kick off with the cry "lets all go radio rental" .. I don't think we actually saw anyone .. anyhow the problem was that 'they kept playing what sEEmed to be eXactly the same tune all night .. Rebel MC or something like that .. a decent tune but there was no variation .. if it had been say a reggae sound system and three times as loud I would have been in heaven but no .. "lets all go radio rental" .. it was proper messy .. uneXpected and for someone who seriously likes great dance mUsic it was like appalling .. I used to work on a stall called Moussa Direct - a big desert Nomad tent and in 1987 and 1989 we had a really gOOd time with a reggae tent from Bristol as a neighbour and then playing our own tunes ..
