TEF Glasto Reports

[oxford_fan]

Post here when you return.

I didn't meet any other TEF'ers. I did see the following artists though:

High Contrast (ace)
Zinc
Zutons (very good)
Babyshambles (captivating)
Bloc Party (superb)
Roots Manuva (mic volume problems)
Chemical Brothers

Task Force (my highlight)
Coral (v. good)
Keane (v. good)
New Order (suprisingly good)
Coldplay (fantastic)

James Blunt (v. good)
Jools Holland
Primal Scream (nuts)
Basement Jaxx

As I was stumbling about in the mud walking towards the Other stage to see Babyshambles, I turned around and who did I see but Doherty and Kate Moss stood about 3 steps behind me. Photographers were following him and a load of blokes shook his hand.

Task Force were fucking brilliant. Chester publically offered everyone drugs "I know a bloke who can sort you out with anything up at the stone circle later, none of the dirty shit mind" which i found funny.

Primal Scream was rather strange. He called the crowd a "bunch of fucking hippies" about 3 times and asked "do you want to see the stone roses?" "well fuck off, your 15 years too late". He (the lead singer) looked absolutely mashed and left stage a couple of times too. Stopped the band at the start of a song when they didn't want to stop and was generally a rather confused yet very entertaining gig.

Next time I'm ensuring that I go with people who like gooderer music as I'd much rather be watching DJ Format instead of Keane but there's only so much random bollocks i can chat to strangers.

No GLC OF?  They were 'whicked - what it is!'

Saw Primal Scream too - wierd. :?

I'll post a diffinitive list of what I saw soon.

I feel for you if you had to watch Keane, though I'm sure NoMoreHeros and other people on this forum will disagree - they seem overly liked for a very average band.

More importantly than the music, how much of the weekend was spent not under the influence of some substance?   :twisted:

[Kinky Tom]

Just today Walrus, just today.

Was the water really over waist high? And did anyone tents here got washed away?

[oxford_fan]

i've had about 4 poo's in the half a day i've been back.

i did one there on the 4th day and (being a bit stoned and paranoid) stood up half way through to check that it wasn't my intestines hanging out as it was taking ages. biggest poo of my life.

But most people used a phone number to get their tickets so i was just wondering what was the best option?, t'internet or phone?.

no they didn't.

[Onion_Jimbo]

did you get lots of drugs in you? I feel terrible for missing out on every single festival this year.

Going to go to as many as possible next summer. Global Gathering is still a possibility for this summer

global gathering looks nice.

i smoked about 1/4 weed and perked myself up for the d&b suitably but no new experiences. acid could be worth a go there next time but the lads i was with aren't really into all that.

i've just a nice long sleep since getting home, i'll put my pictures on here later and also who i saw.
OF you got some good pics there, i was never near the front to see anyone so didn't get any decent close ups
roots manuva was awesome, didn't really notice any volume probs, everyone that didn't see G Love also missed out!

I heard earlier that Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream frontman) got arrested by security mid-set.

It sounded ace, you lucky cunts.
