The somewhat tribal gathering that is Glastonbury is very nearly upon us – and I for one have never been in my life. It’s a sad fact which I’m trying to correct as what could be better than hundreds of thousands of pilgrims worshiping at the alter of music? I wouldn’t even mind about the mud or the mess or the lack of sleep – it’s all worthwhile as it’s all in the name of music.
Here are 12 of my favourite Glastonbury performances which I’ve absorbed in a second-hand sort of way through televisions in my life – Glastonbury (and bands themselves) can sometimes be defined by performances such as the recordings below. So sit back and enjoy – and if you’re going to attend this Wednesday then let this excite you even more and wonder whose performance will put them in the hall of fame this year.
