The footage was originally shot on U-Matic video and 16mm film, the video in particular is showing its age and is of very poor technical quality. The original film included recordings of live performances by James, Pale Saints, Boo Yaa T.R.I.B.E., Outback, Hothouse Flowers and World Party (amongst others); however, these had to be removed after a perfectly justified and completely reasonable notification of copyright infringement from World Party. Fortunately those lovely people from Assassins Of Sound graciously allowed the use of some of their wonderful music - thanks to Lydia, Alex, Rob and Steve.

I loved this weekend, took out a bank loan and bought myself a full face of trips to sell but ended up getting on one and giving them nearly all away to"Really nice people"....what a great time in life!!
Haha 😀 I done shit like that too much at festys and after rave party's that went on 4 days and that, fuckin time to be alive in the 90s bro, respect 🙏 the love of it brother
I was there in 90 I was 19 with three of my friends. We bumped into a guy who didn't live that far from us. He was selling acid, they were thick and had a luminous yellow star on them. We tripped balls ALL DAY Saturday. Adamski was awesome and the afterglow lasted well into the early hours. There was a sound system playing Eek-a-Mouse dub all night near where we set up our tents it was easily the best day of my life and I'm 52 now.Nothing in the last thirty three years has come even close.
Me n my mate went with Oz redseal n crate of Stella,then used our friends(who actually bought tickets) wristbands to take ppl thru at half price! Yes we made money but more importantly we had the time of our lives! Got on Mondays tour bus,blacking out in Phil cools show and extreme mud are a few of my other memories lol
Oh, Face of trips, never heard that term, only sheet of blotters or strip of Dots, as far as I remember we took a strip ( in Sellotape) of Blue Dots they were full on, tripped all weekend as usual at Glastonbury. I started going in 1980 when it was more like a village community atmosphere like you felt you new everyone after the second day, of course we didn’t though haha. The tickets back then were only £8 which we bought directly from the main guy of CND at the London office, fuck knows how others got their tickets haha 🌻🌎✊🏽
@@Kiyarose3999 sorry you’re right, what I had was a sheet of trips that were one giant picture of a face, real work of art, deserved to be framed! Nevertheless best of times!
Mad weekend this was, remember watching crusties getting down to De La Soul which i found surreal.
So fkn good ...Hitchin from Newcastle 2 days.. shagging in the bushes with my girl, free entry, strawberry acid, no police, riots with angry full stroppy travellers, learning that real freedom was leaving avalon and heading east to Goa..i loved my reckless youth. Married the same girl and now 57 & still happy today! LOVE XX
was it free entry? or bunk job haha
@@danielmiley1340 bunk job ..fair cop !
Strawbs, classic
Gan on dean!
them were the days Treewoggy omg , if i only had a mobile phone back then ..lol
My first Glastonbury. Treworgy was my first official festival in '89 and then this in '90... and then more followed. These experiences changed my life and I'm forever thankful.
tree wogy wasnt that 88 , hey whatz a few years hoppin round free festivals worth today , thats right ya cant ...lol .. lonon irish NLC
Never forget life before mobile phones! How times have changed. Keep the faith my lovely people
If there was someone filming in the 90s Keith Allen would appear from nowhere to be on it! 😂
He was everywhere. Famous for not much apart from ingratiating himself with everyone & anyone who was deemed cool.
The guy makes me yak.
Keith Allen was brilliant in Comic Strip Channel 4. GINO.. FISTFULL OF TRAVELLERS CHEQUES and others.. ... and famously, in a 'situationist' style.. ambushed a Max Bygraves show naked... Love Keith Allen❤ anarchist all the way.. Only negative is is spon.. Lilly Allen.. 😢 Typical LDN nepo baby.. 😮

I was at this one. It was my second of four Glastonburys and it rain non stop. I remember seeing people in football boots getting around in the mud while I destroyed my brand new green kicker boots. I miss those hedonistic days.
16 years old in the April. Passionately in love with my 21 year old musician boyfriend and we hitched there, it was my 1st festival ever and we rolled under the electric fence. I spent £10 all weekend, ate in the hare Krishna tent and left halfway through the Happy Mondays as I was coming up on acid and wandered off to watch either Bluurt or Lush? The best days of my life 💗
A bit naughty with the acid you Minx😫🧚🤑😄
Lush were brilliant
They had an electric fence around the festival?
@@jackjude If you were on acid everything was electric.
Great little film! Lucky to have it in the days before moblie phones. I was there, visiting from canada, my only glasto. What a time! I don’t even remember the rain. Bought live tapes of the festival performances on site at a booth called Glastonbury Tapes where they were cranking out cassettes of the previous day’s performances. I bought the Cure and Sinead. They didn’t record World Party i think they said. Bummer. A couple years ago i came across a bootleg CD of Hawkwind at Glastonbury 90. What?! Turns out they played the travellers field in the middle of the night. I had no idea until i found the CD!. Also i was super keen to see Green On Red and Julian Cope but they both cancelled! Can’t believe it was 35 years ago!
@@BelindaLlewellyn-e4g hawkwind defo played the travellers firld- on was it wango rileys stage ?
Then Carl Cox tirned up at a site in Reading way back - hated his trainers getting dirty 🙌
Mad year that was, tripped all day on the Friday and on Saturday me and my mate decided to have a wander and try and sell some of my lovely pink calllie E's id taken up, bumped into a small techno sound system sold a couple to some girls and within half hr got surrounded by half a dozen Manc scallies and they taxed me of my 50 pills, was gutted ! Heard about load of mugging going on, specially around the perimeter. 92 was my favourite year there and my last was 94, started going in 85 :)
A friend of mine awoke in his tent to find a scally leaning over him with a knife. My friend assumed it was an acid induced flashback, and just closed his eyes and went back to sleep. Fortunately, he only lost his stash.
Thanks for posting, brings back memories.
This was the only time i went there ( to see The Cure ) and it was excellent. The weather was great too and the ticket for the whole festival cost about £60 !
First one 1982, second (and last) 1986
I remember being appalled that the tickets price had more than doubled in '86 to £17.00!
I remember 1989 and 1990 being excellent festivals, though 1990 was pretty wet and muddy. When I went back in 1992 the festival had totally changed. I never bothered going back after that, it got way too big, way too expensive and the vibe had changed. Some nice memories here, thanks.
Same for me although I went in '93 as well. '89 was was freedom and '93 was controlled by The Man.
Them old festys were something else, I don't recognise the Glastonbury of today tbh, but thank fuck I was alive back in the day!!! 😁👌
@@markb9064 1989 was an excellent festival. Incredible weather. Very loose and relaxed atmosphere. We arrived three days before it started and walked in. A great crowd, bands and no Police that I can recall. A year later it was grim. Changed beyond all recognition. Heavy security. Bad drugs. Violence and Police. Festivals became commercial very quickly. Ruined the experience. Cheers
@@markb9064 '93 was my first and got in over the fence.
I worked on the litter picking for 89 and 90, under Brian (who died in a mountaineering accident a year or two later). It was a great time. Unfortunately, 90 had a darker side that some might remember. The security were all hired from some company that were very aggressive. They started by impounding some of the buses of travellers. So in retaliation (as the buses were kept in fenced and inaccessible areas) travellers stole and trashed a number of their land rovers. Then, black Luke (I call him that as that`s what he called himself - a well known figure I met up with the following year, whilst living at Camberwell Grove squat (Groove Park Rave centre and home of the Full Moon Club)) and his mob went trashing a bus with a guy in it. They hit a bus traveller with a crow bar. Someone pulled out a shotgun and shot it above a few of us. There was so much happened that year. In a bid to get rid of hangers on after the festival (mainly brew crew) Michael was supposed to have broken the sewage pipe next to the water pipe and a load of people came down with something really bad. However, great memories all the same. I still have a couple of photos.
I remember when I went there was all this black guys wearing camo gear ,they were putting ladders up to the fence and telling people they can get in that way (even though they had tickets) and when you got over the other side a heap of them would beat you up with bats and weapons and Rob you. They even killed a guy i heard. They asked me to go up the ladder but we just said we have tickets its ok. Got a real bad vibe. Very sad.🙏
@@MrG77 Ye, I didn`t remember about the ladders til you just said. Don`t remember the death. Perhaps I heard about it an just thought it must`ve been hype. People talk about Michael like he epitomised the freedom movement. He was tolerant in most cases but actually, my memory of him was a bit of a fascist. He was a business man primarily, of course. `89 was a different vibe. Much more what I remember as wholesome. I was a filthy crusty and stayed that way for years, moving through Europe. Helped kick start the rave scene in London in `88, Camberwell children`s home. I was interviewed by radio station that turned out to be police in disguise to scope the place. I was the last there. Stayed on a squatted site with 2000DS, behind Central Station in Amsterdam. My first son was conceived there. Moved to start a dance scene in west Ireland, where I DJ`d. Sort of left the scene in `96 after my brother died in Ireland. Miss those days now though.
Remember being caught by security trying to jump fence. I ended up giving them a fiver and they let me in. I enterd just as Happy Mondays were playing. So many memories
Same here but for me it was a £20 contribution to Greenpeace
Lol Cloudzy, your comment bought back fond memories so thanks for that 👍... long gone are the fence jumping days ....sadly
Haha yeah that was so cool when u cud do that! Hope u enjoyed the mondays bro 😁👌
I still have a picture of us after climbing the fence. Pleased as punch and crusty as f@+#
I remember Happy Mondays playing, they were all off their tits, got boooed (canned) off after about 20mins. The Cure were fabulous. We drove there from Kent in a Saab 95 estate that nearly got us home as well, 18 miles from home.
First one I went to. Bit of an eye opener. "Hash for cash", "speed, trips, weed".
Hashacidees, hashacidees
Effin wish., (worthy) bill n 25, ta.,...
Rainbow custard. F@=# knows what was in it
Week of heaven , use to go up on a Tuesday back the next Tuesday back as Brown as a berry and high as sky
It got heavier in 90. Mainly because of the seedy following the Mondays had. Gangs coming in to make money. It was postponed in 91 then the fence appeared in 92. Never the same again. 89 was the last true happy Glastonbury with progressive likeminded individuals. Wasn’t about the bands, it was a Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts. It was beautiful.
I have tried contacting both Paul and Ted Devoux (Boo Yah T.R.I.BE.) asking for permission to upload their music, but had no response. I have also asked Martin Cradick from Outback, but again no answer.
If you recognise any of the people we interviewed, please let me know; the only one I know for sure is Louisa who counted seventy-ten million people (she was my ex-gf's best friend).
Shame I can't upload the original film, but thanks for all the nice comments :-)
I just sent Martin C a link
Never saw your message - not brilliant at keeping on top of social media, sorry. Great memories!
When Glastonbury was still free to get in 😉
Jeez. I grew up around here in the early 90s. What an absolute blast from the past. Amazing times. Funny to see Keith Allen.
OMG I was a kid in 1990 , turn 50. With the festival this year
Can't help adding 34 years to the age of everybody in this
I Love this video.
I was there that year and remember the helicopter coming down cause people were getting crushed,I think the cure were playing at the time,hard to remember cause I was tripping most of the festival, it was fantastic. I also think it was the last year the travellers field was there,that's were we camped.
These were the end days for Glastonbury - towards the late 90’s, the coolness factor of the festival fell off a cliff as it became more of a corporate, middle class event
I remember it was my first Glastonbury but i can't remember anything about it, must have been great i guess!
Thank you for this. Awesome:) I love older footage like this. Love Glastonbury:)
I was there all weekend. Messy lol but something you must do during your lifetime.
I was 5 when my mum brought me here. I vaguely remember some caravan fight??
Totally Awesome 🤪,I wished I went,Didn,t start going to 2 years later!!,
Anybody remember the helicopter landing at the Cure bit...And Shaun Ryder getting in a tizzy because his song notes blew out of his hand 😳
I didn’t go til 98 but it wasn’t that far removed from this. There was still *almost* this vibe at the end of the 90’s. I expect now it is totally different.
Does anyone remember this, a tent, set back, unassuming except for a table with a skull on it, with a man in a hat exclaiming ‘Crainiums for sale!’ Every now and again?
I saw dancing guy at 1:01 that weekend smashed every time, legend.
Same..what a face..mushrooms & speed, scrumpy with hash chillums shouting 1/2 a mix so someone could help fill the mixing bowl ! Best times before we had to move abroad
this was the 5th and last year i went to the festival.....it was good back then
I was there just for the Sunday. Thanks for posting this.
Smile just thinking about those happy days
Just think they’re all in their 60s now. Scary.
great video thanks
Memorable for me for mud friday into Saturday. Cattle crush style galvanised toilets over a huge stinking pit. someone offering me to bite as much as I could off a ball of cannabis resin as a Freeby.cant remember who played now.
Thanks for sharing this, bought back a lot of memories. Funny seeing that queue of traffic at the start - we spent the night in that in our ratty yellow Renault 4. At some point around dawn we were stopped next to a layby where the Police were doing spot searches. I said to my gf of the time "See told you, just as well we didn't bring anything with us". She replied "Oh I did but don't worry I'll just drop it in this coke can, they'll not search that". With that one of the cops walks away from the car they were searching with a drink can in a plastic evidence bag. Fortunately as one of the cops walks to get another car (us), the traffic edged forward and the car behind us copped it instead.
Yes this was the year of the munters on security. We were camped near the entrance on the right of the main stage and in the early hours heard the security 'deal' with someone.
But mainly I remember the music (and perhaps a little mud) and above all The Cure.
Where are they now
Saw Keith Allen at Glastonbury 98 ...he was jumping up and down in the mud , repeatedly saying ...The 70s kicked your c..t !!! Hope he was OK 😂😂😂...He certainly didn't want anyone taking photos either ..😂😂
Had few Shandy's to many
Had he😂🍺🍻🤸
@@David-h4z2s nose candy more like lol...He was at a stall in the rain and mud lol...not at a band lol...He was off his tits and was getting shirty with anyone trying to take a picture lol...
I will never forget that lol 😆 😂
Think that was the year he took the piss out of my good friend playing piano inhis underground bender. He didnt know she was an acid dealer from the underground psy trance scene and she dosed him and his mates up big time. 😂
@@nigelphoton2772 lol 😆 😂 🤣 😅 😄 😜 😆 😂. That would definitely explore a lot lol 😆 😂
I did not expect to see the Boo Yaa Tribe on this😂😂😂
I was there !
Good work
I had micro dots that year... was it any good
Willie Thorne as the friendly copper was a surprise
this was the festival where Mindscape - a rave unit located bang opposite our stall gave me some ideas for the future .. they were like totally quiet in the day like some submarine hiding in the depths then bang on 22:00hrs they would kick off with the cry "lets all go radio rental" .. I don't think we actually saw anyone .. anyhow the problem was that 'they kept playing what sEEmed to be eXactly the same tune all night .. Rebel MC or something like that .. a decent tune but there was no variation .. if it had been say a reggae sound system and three times as loud I would have been in heaven but no .. "lets all go radio rental" .. it was proper messy .. uneXpected and for someone who seriously likes great dance mUsic it was like appalling .. I used to work on a stall called Moussa Direct - a big desert Nomad tent and in 1987 and 1989 we had a really gOOd time with a reggae tent from Bristol as a neighbour and then playing our own tunes ..
I think the didge convention happened this year as well (100 didges playing at once). Could have been 89 though as well.
34 years ago wow😊
You can almost smell the stink😫🌄🏞️
Hmmm, wasn't 1990 the year Eavis's security went nuts and some of them got prosecuted for having molatov cocktails lined up in their billet at Eavis's farmhouse? And ever since Eavis has propagated the lie that the travellers were throwing molatovs rather than his security who had them? And if I remember correctly, his security stole a truck after beating up the owner- a bloke from the Green Field- and all the Rainbow types from the Green Field mobilised into an enraged, meat deprived, stick-wielding and extremely angry lynch mob? And the travellers joined them in amazement and solidarity, and were ultimately blamed for the whole thing? Hmmm, Yes it was.
OK Rurupy, I must have missed all that!
We were all a bit preoccupied with making the film and enjoying the music, blissfully unaware of any of the events you talk about.
It's a shame that your experience of the festival was so negative; I hope you enjoyed SOME of it!
Good to see someone else with a memory...
+Paulo X It didn't stop it from being fun, but it did stop it from being the same level of fun ever again :-(
Yep,the same security who did the Treworgey tree fayre in 89, who tried robbing the farmhouse, but got trashed by the Brew crew, not before they( the security) dumped dead sheep in the water supply and made half the site sick tho, Eavis hired them against police advice knowing it would kick off, basically set it up to give the convoy s bad name and provide an excuse to ban us, or to try anyway!
This is all a proper story. If anyone can expand it please do. Molotov cocktails (petrol bombs) and dead sheep in the water supply?
Emily Avis has destroyed Glastonbury it’s like a middle class radio 1 road show
Hi - I'm making a documentary on the free party story and Glastonbury 1990 is a part of it. Do you still have the originals of this footage? Would love to chat to you about it if so!!
@ TRINDER FILMS, I am able to assist you with the story of Stonehenge travellers- free parties and the Glastonbury festival traveller field event, reclaim the streets, etc etc,
I was there in 90 im sure i saw keith Allen getting bummed in the Hari krishna tent by some hippie with a courgette .
Bit rude.
Guilty. I bummed the fuck out of him all weekend tripping my tits off on luminious shooting stars. Aceeeeeeeeed.
@@delwynhodder no you didnt
Keith Allen is well known for being a weirdo. I myself have seen his ego ridden, aggressive BS on a film set every evening. He wasnt even in the film! Even Bob Mortimer will contend to severely disliking him. That bloody song of his 'Vindaloo' should have put him away.
I put it down to the Bart Simpsons but you've just confirmed it, it did happen. Bottle of brown sauce and to the krishna's for tea, only at pilton.
didn't really enjoy 1990 Glastonbury compared to previous years and haven't been back since.
84-87 were my favourite years...
Any party Keith Allen is at, I don't want to be at
Sure he feels the same about you!

When getting in was as easy as jumping over a fairly small corrugated iron fence.
They were 8 foot by 10 foot aluminium panels but we found a way.
Worked the gate this year.

1990 wad a great year, last proper festival before the Gentrification began and any flavour or colour was filtered out to accommodate the Rich kids, the beginning of the end really, so sad, just a nasty commercial Circus now.
Fake dreads and weekend hippies.

Can anyone tell me who the guy at 5:18 is? He says his name and I think band but I can't quite make it out. Thanks!!
I m 57 too, went to Goa as well 😂 I hated the year they erected those metal fences and brought in security. There were always the odd coppers wandering around but only for show. I stopped going when a burly black security guard started giving me shit. Never returned. Ruined it.
The fence was more like a steeplechase than a deterrent. I was hopping over it until 1997.
Keith Allen trying to sound
All Core Blimey Guvnor
Thought he was a posho type🤑
The difference between 86 and 90 is astonishing cos everyone in 90 is Stylised where 86 are scruffs and a few goths .
Totally changed arnd early 90s,b4 that best fedtival in Europe.
Pre rave you mean. Reading 87 was like that but a lot smaller.
Punk cast a long shadow. By 1988/89 Acid House and Techno carved its way through the festival scene pulling a new type of reveler in its wake.
6mins...I think we've just found Russell Brands long lost brother.

this brings back no happy memories for me at all as i never went to glastonbury once
So glad I never went.
Now they're jogging.
Now its Coldplay (most years) and the likes of Shania Twain. So sad. Are the organisers trying to create a short-lived late 90's country-pop revival?
I went there in 90, waste of money, Should have broke in. It was full of bullshitters and tossers.
And so the decline begins 🍋
23 23 23 in you're ARENA 😂 1992

When actual music fans attended. It's a big pile of crap now.
We’re the so called travellers riot , it was meant to be the year of the riot , no problems as said by the security
1987 and 1989 were better…1990 was wet. Went in 1994 and it was moody with gangs of mans and scousers up to no good.
Dreadful place now.
Glastonbury looked rubbish back then. Much better now.
