I remember this year, I was 15 and I saw Prodigy... ABSOLUTELY F**KING AWESOME
wow what an experience, sounds like you had a great time. crazy festival
@@user-lj7et4tf9d it was full on, a lot of e-heads... Couldn't do it nowadays 😉😎
Wow! Thanks so much for capturing - great to relive this!
no worries, more here www.webm8.co.uk/riddler/webm8-tv/09-glastonbury_festival.html
Glastonbury 97 was one of the 2 Glastonburys that I did attend (by scaling the fence of course!) - it was one of the last really great Glasto’s despite the boggy conditions because of the rich quality of music across ALL stages, the only bummers that year being the weather and clashing quality band performance times - the fact that I barely remember the weather being a testament to how great the whole event was
music did seem better back then and the bands too.
The mud was crazy. There was a massive hole in the ground near one of the gates to the main stage field, invisible because of mud... people were falling down it - splat - every couple of minutes, like some sort of cartoon, ending up neck deep.
@@invade81 what made it worse was the straw they put down on the paths to try to soak up the mud - I had mud and straw sticking to my boots increasingly until I ended up resembling a shire horse lol
@@MiniLemmy oh, yeah. All day trudging about with extra lbs of mud stuck to your legs, after a while hoping it would rain again to loosen up the mud. Slept with feet sticking out of the tent as it was too much work to take off boots. There were reports of people getting trenchfoot and then e-coli in the mud people were diving face first into. Bit of a novelty that time... It was different the following year - sunny on the Friday and then along came the rain again, changed the vibe immediately
@@webm8 popular music it seems to me was strictly a 1900s phenomenon. They continued beyond the millenium, of course albeit with ever diminishing returns but the day I don’t recognise any names at all in lineups is fast coming to pass.. will be strange because so many hanger-ons have almost been validating these things.
The weekend I found there was many types of mud. Nearly put me off festivals for life
lol so true, crazy year
best year ever lol
wetest
I see 17 year old me. Front row all day. I think Echo & The Bunnymen we’re on first that day. I’m short and getting round in knee deep mud with giant cord flares and a long leather jacket was not easy. Once I got somewhere, I stayed! 😂
fantastic, bet it was wild. very cool
That mud was horrific
@@ruledtrendy5066 like glue
Remember watching prodigy then walking miles to the jazz stage to watch Massive Attack at midnight, good days
always a nightmare having to get from stage to stage, crazy busy
It was a nightmare. But I went back again a few more times. Never paid to get in. Always ran out of money in the first 24 hours. Don’t mix your drugs.
ROFL yes i guess that is true. shame about the weather but i guess it was good fun to look back on now
Another great year for Glastonbury we’re mud for it but some amazing bands her though supergrass is my fav band here what a band cheers
defo a great year :)
@@webm8 yeah a fantastic year I’m telling you mate that 90 - 99 fantastic time to be alive I’m only 9 years old and me dad would have been 33 years old !!!! But man great year with some great bands too like ocean colour scene kula shaker the prodigy supergrass maybe my favourite indie band of all time and many more cheers for replying mate cheers mate many thanks keep it up 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@discoverydolan5134 no probs, sounds like you had an amazing upbringing and a real musical / life education. very lucky. Great times and music.
@@webm8 yeah mate my dad got me in too loads of this stuff my dad told me about supergrass stereophonics stereo mcs and many more my mums music is a bit crap thanks dad for getting me in to indie
@@discoverydolan5134 what a great guy
I took 10 Es that weekend... Primal Scream and Chemical Brothers...we couldn't find the Prodigy, mind you had seen them a few years before at Tribal Gathering 😂
lol i bet you were mashed and having the best time ever
@webm8 one of the best..🫠
@@chriscassidy5362 didn’t even know the scream team were on and I followed them around like mad back then ~ Ian Brown’s first solo gig too, I knew nothing about it. Apparently he came into the tent in a hood with a flaming torch n nearly set fire to the tarpaulin
@@ARyan-nf5my 😂😂👍
No phones 📱 in the 90s🥲☺️😁🎵😄
much more fun
Wow I was there. 22 years old. Paid £10 each to some guys to get us over the wall with a rope ladder. Good times ✌🏻✊🏻
haha those were the days
Me and my mates made a rope ladder that year the mud fest and charged £10 each and made a nice bit of money. Hope you enjoyed it😁
I paid a guy in a security high viz £10, got in his Ford Escort where he coloured in a passout hand stamp with a highlighter pen and stamped my hand. I was sure I was being mugged but I walked straight in
Don’t think I saw a single band I intended was always bogged down other side of the site exploring. Trying to negotiate mud with a flagon of hot cider was a pastime at that thing
prob the best thing to do, dont plan but just go explore
Its an hours walk to most other areas of Glastonbury on a dry day. In the mud it was an expedition.
Beck’s harmonica playing, not particularly memorable. Beck’s Devil’s Haircut, priceless! Also, interesting to see the original incarnation of Smashing Pumpkins here. That will change very shortly after this appearance.
Even though it WAS bloody horrible, I'm glad I was there. Radiohead were (or is it 'was') surprising.
glad to hear you survived and had a great time
When glasto was still good.
:)
I was there but totally missed Prodigy as drank too much in the afternoon & was really sick. I was gutted and my boyfriend was furious with me!
That's a bit out of order on his part. Hope he's lightened up a bit.
oh dear, thats not good. hope you saw other bands though
not a phone in sight lol
happy dayys
I was there - my friend had her mobile, but we couldn't be bothered to use those precious minutes!
Was this the one where Phish played at?
