Wedding Present: Reading Festival 1989. 

The 80s were a blur, but as soon as the rain was mentioned I remembered I was there. Edit: those shorts confirm my memory.

I was there, also my first festival. Fool that I am, I thought that all festivals would have similarly good lineups. In no particular order, just the bands I liked.. Wedding Present, New Order, Spacemen 3, My Bloody Valentine, The Mission, PWEI, Dinosaur Jr, Jesus Jones, House of Love, That Petrol Emotion, Sugarcubes, Wonderstuff. Think we went into town rather than watch Saturday night - Billy Bragg, New Model Army and the Pogues, Wish we'd stayed, but we were snobby indie kids !

I have to hold my hand up to the person that took this video. It's a fucking great capture. I was there somewhere. No phones (with video) then. Must've been a hand held cam. Big respect. Weddoes done. Awesome and moving onto even better things.

Fantastic! I was there - a highlight of the weekend fest ♥ Thanks for posting

Yep , I was there too, my first festival 20 years old, bloody hell , wish I had a time machine.

nice job camera man...my first festival at sweet 18...somewhere near the front popping up and down and getting plesently squashed....long before moblie phones selfies and all the rest...cool upload!

cracking line up for this festival. An era of music that was sadly passed over in the wake of the over hyped britpop. I was 24 at this festivaal and having the time of my life. Seemed to remember that it was pissing down when the pogues were on !!!!

I was there bloody amazing. I spent Saturday night in the tent due to the rain listeng to the Pogues.

I was there, right at the front in the middle, pressed against the barrier...

pure gold

Thanks for posting Gman... Little bit of history revealed here. Thanks x

I was there loved it.

Top band

Gedge is having more fun here than he seems to be now with the new line up.

I wish Take Me! lasted forever.

Wow, awesome.

1989,defo

Speed, attack and unbridled exuberance... three things that aren't associated with TWP these days, sadly.

think is is 1990.
