I saw ' a ' but I should have watched ' b '

2007: Saw Doctors instead of Ozric Tentacles. My GF was ill, we were already at Avalon, she didn't fancy trudging down to the Glade. I should have been a total bastard and abandoned her. I loves a bit of Ozrics at Glasto!

1997 - Kula Shaker instead of Radiohead.

Much as I enjoyed Kula Shaker's set at the time, Radiohead's set is still said to have been one of the best ever at Glastonbury, and anyway Kula Shaker ended up repeating their set the following afternoon when some other act didn't show up.

2009, my mates literally dragged me to see Franz instead of Bruce

Last year, Groove Armada instead of The Verve.

I'd watched Elbow in The Queens Head & by then I was a broken woman & just could not walk to the Pyramid stage. I like GA , but I've seen them several times before & would have loved to see Verve. I was so knackered I was asleep on my feet, willing them to finish so I could go & sit by the fire at our tents.

I try to never regret my choices, but that one's been bugging me ever since.

Carl Barat instead of Leonard Cohen because my mate had my beer, nightmare haha.

Some time back in the 90s my mate Will went to go and see M People instead of Jeff Buckley. Wrong on so many levels.

Goldfrapp instead of Eddy Grant. I decided I was too tired to head to Jazz World but heard he was brilliant I think about it all the time actually...

Eddy Grant was indeed amazing. It was just the right time of day, everyone was in a good mood, no nobbers in the crowd and my mate was lying on the floor having a panic attack after dropping his first ever pill. A bit of Gimme Hope Joanna sorted him out, and then we trotted off to see The Verve (there may have been stuff in between, but frankly i cannot remember how that evening went, except that it was ace).

But I still kind of regret missing Leonard, especially as there doesn't seem to be any proper footage available of his set.

Those oldie acts are my biggest stumbling block really. It's always so hard to guess whether they'll be any good. If Simon & Garfunkel show up this year, there's no way i'm missing out. They'll probably be rubbish now. Can't win.

My biggest mistake was going to leeds instead of glastonbury last year.

[stuartbert two hats]

I also missed Radiohead in 1997, watched Primal Scream instead. Also missed them in 2003 through not being able to get a ticket.

On the other hand, I handled the Arctic Monkeys/Bjork clash by running to see Bjork after a couple ofn underwhelming songs from the Monkeys and didn't regret a thing!
