“THE RIVER” AT GLASTONBURY July 4 On Saturday, June 27, Bruce and the Band played to their largest audience since East Berlin in 1988. A total of 135000 people at the Glastonbury Festival watched a remarkable and emotion packed set. Here is the full version of one of many highlights, The River. The flags you see waving were held high by fans from the beginning of the show to the end. The mist you see behind Bruce is the steam on stage bouncing off of his back. For everyone there it is was a night to remember always.
Bloc Party – Uniform (Live Glastonbury 2007) with lyrics… There was a sense of disappointment as we left the mall All the young people looked the same Wearing their masks of cool and disinterest Commerce dressed up as rebellion Because we are so handsome and we are so bored So entertain us, tell me a joke Make it long, make it last forever Make it cruel just make me laugh We can’t be hurt Drink to forget your blues on the weekend Think about more things to buy The TV taught me how to sulk and to love nothing And how to grow my hair long So why do you go picking fights that you will lose? (When u have entertainment, when give you things to pass the time) So why do you have to go thinking thoughts that are above you? (You can be happy, just play dumb x2) Well I was brave And unique, Intelligent, A snowflake I could have been a hero No-one can be trusted over the age of 14 Tattoo our arms Converse shoes Cynical But we still do it We tell ourselves that we’re different I’ve gotten so good at lying to myself All, all my pain and honour is used up All my guns are rusted So when are you going to realise those are not your wrongs to right Have another line, have another drink (Pop songs won’t change the government) I am a martyr I just need a motive I am a martyr I just need a cause I’m a believer I just need to a moment I’m a believer I just need a cause We’re finding it hard to break the mould We are finding it so hard to be alone We’re finding it hard to have time by …

Radiohead, at Glastonbury Festival in 2003, playing “There There”. By 2003 most people had accepted the idea that it was no longer possible to crash the festival and hence it is recognised as one of the most successful years to date. The number of tickets available to the public was increased slightly over 2002, partially in response to criticism that the 2002 festival was underpopulated and lacked atmosphere. The tickets sold out within one day of going on sale, in marked contrast to the two months it took to sell a similar number in 2002. It was also the first year that tickets sold out before the full lineup was announced. This was also the year Radiohead returned to headline the Pyramid Stage. Revenue raised for good causes from ticket and commercial licence sales topped £1 million, half of which went to Oxfam, Greenpeace and Water Aid.

Big thanks to Angi Hale for supplying this video to me, she is a very kind lady. You all requested this, and here it is, all 20 songs. It is an audience shot, and considering this was recorded in 1997, it is still pretty damn good (VHS converted to DVD using soundboard audio).
