Tears came down (09)

[roseyrose]

Me and my best friend were at the front watching james blunt (ahem) and he sang goodbye my lover and we were both crying - GEEKS!!! I like that song anyway and it was sunny AND it was our first glasto it was just a nice moment!

Everyone still takes the piss out of us for that lol

Also Lucky Man by the Verve last year had me welling up with happiness after such an amazing weekend.

Last year, watching Elbow, the moment Guy Garvey started singing. I was SO happy, surrounded by friends, glorious weather, just coming up, watching my favourite band.

It was perfect , apart from the fact my best mate wasn't there with me .

The tears came from nowhere & boy did they flow. (Thanks for the much needed hankie HSC).

[Homer]

Only time it's ever happened to me was during Brian Wilson, the sun came out, the floods dried up, he was so good and I was so, so pissed...

[Pinhead]

"Oh, no tears please. Its a waste of good suffering!"

Sorry, couldn't resist. I am Pinhead after all.

[ashcoates]

for me

2005

rufus wainwright, his homage to the late jeff buckly

he played hallelujia (before the song became over done and annoying)

tears definatly came but im glad i was wearing sunny g's to hide it

Standing in the sun on the saturday 2008 watching Crowded House. During Dont Dream Its Over. This is my fave song ever and just the sheer joy of being there watching them live playing that, the tears just came tumbling. Mind you , It could have been the cider!!

[serginhowardinho]

Jimmy Cliff last year. I was having an emotional reunion with my ex-girlfriend during Many Rivers to Cross. A beautiful moment. However, she remains my ex.

I haven't cried at Glasto but the moment that I had a lump in my throat was listening to Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve and watching a solitary lantern float up into the sky. I hadn't felt that calm in a very long time. Magic.

[John J]

I think without doubt its going to be Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, a long with YYY's Maps, but that's pretty much a given I think.

[royston]

I'd have a bet that the moment which wil generate the most mass cheek moistening will be when blur play the universal on sunday night, (despite the song having been cheapened by its appearance in a british gas ad!).

[andyb]

Deffinetly Paul McCartney doing the Beatles stuff in 2004 or the Marley Brothers doing Exodus in 2007.

Madness with their "secret" gig in the Lost Vagueness was awesome too although i didn't see too much (think that was in 2007).

OOOO and Nizlopi like every time i've seen them at Glasto, brilliant live performers!

I dropped some jerk chicken into the mud in 2005.

If Springsteen plays Jungleland, that will get me...The sax solo in that song is just heart-wrenching.

Last year, my 2 emotional moments came on Sunday night. Everyone singing the chorus to Hallelujah, and Bittersweet Symphony.

[SpookyAngel]

most defo paul macartney in 2004, was my first glasto & the beatles are my most favourite band ever. i was in bliss listning to him but hay jude at the end was magical. i've never had anyone ever beat that moment at glasto ever. listning to hay jude now & i still get goose pimples & shivers down my spine.

[catsoup]

The Stone Circle every year when I take in the whole site, feel the anticipation building on Weds or Thurs, and the elation just starts to overflow and everyone starts whooping.

[cavelier5]

Al Green doing 'Lets Stay Together' in 1999. In all white, not a speck of mud touched him. What a voice. Jimmy Cliff and 'Many Rivers to Cross' came pretty close.

Gutted I missed last year as Leonard Cohen would have been a lump in the throat moment for sure.

This year will be if (hopefully when) Neil Young does 'Old Man' or 'Cortez the Killer'. I'm getting kinda emotional now just thinking about it!

Also, if Nick Cave does 'Into My Arms' I'll be a jibbering wreck!

[The Klumpster]

Richie Havens some years back in the acoustic for me. He finished with an extraordinary protest song that I've never heard before, me and my bro were just gone!!!

And Many Rivers To Cross but not last year, when he was on the pyramid.

Oh, and the guy walking around in a suit with a suitcase pretending there's a helicopter in the sky. I'd seen him lots of times before but was mashed and cried with laughter for about 15 minutes . It's makin me just thinkin about it.

[amfy]

That will definitely be one for me and I dont reckon I'll get through The Specials with entirely dry eyes. But there will be a few over the weekend

[jollynolly]

So many, The Men They Couldn't Hang Green Fields of France, Verve Drugs don't work (howling in the dirt for that one) Proclaimers, Sunshine on Leith, Jimmy Cliff (nearly the whole set when he played the pyramid on the Sat afternoon)

This year I know its going to be The Streets Edge of a Cliff and Never went to church

[Frogger_Queen]

I have no chance of getting through The Specials with dry eyes now that I know they finish on "Enjoy Yourself - it's later than you think". A song I first loved at something like 17 and now I'm 45!

"The years go by as quickly as you wink" - Indeed!

[simonthecyclist]

Elbow last year for me as well. As well as many other moments over the years...
