Amlo4ka Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 A lot of people on here seem to rate last years festival very highly. Was last year really your best ever? I kinda hope that it wasnt because it was my 1st year and my hopes are so incredibly high for next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amlo4ka Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 yeah ive noticed it seems to be alot of peoples 2nd year this time round, well on this forum anyway. That suggests to me that last year was so good loads of people felt obliged to join the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spammachine Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 The best most recent G was 2003 for me. Everything was perfect that year, including the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Nope - for some some reason 99 and the Lazarus like comeback of the fest from the floods (personified by Brian Wilson and aided by Basement Jaxx) in 05 always jump out in my mind. 94 and 95 were scorchers too. I had a ball last year but there was nothing on the lineup that was truly jawdropping for me personally... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 it was good, but 93 and 94 edge it for me, I think But it was right up there, yeah, absolutely brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Androoo Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I had an amazing time last year, but I couldn't pick out a particular year as the best I've been to, I've voted no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mardy Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I had a long break between 95 and 07 I remember last year, on the sunday evening, watching Laughing Len, vodka jelly in hand, sun setting and thinking this is pretty much perfect.

Homer Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I reckon this year's got potential to trump the lot - in Blur, the Specials and Spinal Tap, there's three acts right there that only a year ago I doubted I would I ever get to see/see again, so to have them all in one weekend promises to be quite special!

Mardy Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 for me, it's pretty much all about the weather, way more than the lineup. I'm happy to just wander around, sit on the grass, watch any old 2 bob chancers if the sun is shining. Nothing makes a festival more unpleasant than bad weather. I can't be doing with that 'we won't let a bit of rain get us down, will we' stuff. Trudging through Somme like conditions for 5 days is just draining.

eve & nash Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 2003 was the best for me! Great weather! And radiohead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Originalshez Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 We went first time in '07 and spent all our time watching bands, as there was something for us all day every day. Last year we were less rushed, and hence enjoyed it more, as we took in more of the 'glasto spirit' that everyone talks about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LusciousLucy Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 95 - my first, hottest and sunniest ever, 25th anniversary celebrations, chaos in the Green Fields when the fence came down and the introduction to the rest of my life! Utterly amazing and incredible. Second best was 02 because of the small crowd numbers, glorious weather and Rolf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deardo Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 2003 for me(my 1st) but last year was a very close 2nd(this year will be my 5th). I think thw weather plays a big part for me, just being able to sit down relax and take it all in does make a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoils Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 The weather was brilliant (1 day of rain....so what), that certainly helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harper11 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 2005 for me Huge downpour and mud aside I had the best time and saw some great bands Last year was good with the weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Amazing_Oblong Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 2002 or 2003 for me, both great years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca3031 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I've been going since 03 and last year was my favourite, due to the weather but mostly the mates I had with me. Hoping to top it this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikytom Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 i think last year my my best, partly because i didnt get to go in 2007, partly cos of all the new stuff like trash city and the park that had appeared since i was last there in 2005, partly the weather and partly cos ive learnt not to try and cram in too much and just go with the flow. the line up didnt really do it for me last year and i still had a ball, and this year the line up is looking rather special!

mynameisearl Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Personally I enjoyed myself more in 2003 and 2007 so voted no. However I just have this feeling that 2009 is going to trump both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
