                        The true Glastonbury experience
                        So many other films and television programs always seem to miss the best aspect of Glastonbury festival but this one truly hits the mark.

                        To be somewhat out of step with popular opinion, Glastonbury isn't really about the bands. Don't get me wrong; the performers were/are good but they have always been a minor distraction from the bulk of the experience...the life of the festival itself.

                        As the years have rolled on by and the mainstream has co-opted Glastonbury for a more commercially digestible agenda, much of what makes Glastonbury exceptional has been deemed irrelevant, unimportant and even unacceptable.

                        This film shows you the full experience. It's the genuine life of the festival with occasional musical interludes and not a concert movie with occasional life interludes.

                        The unhurried wandering around the various fields, down the main drag, witnessing the people who truly "make" the festival. The impromptu dance parties, the food, the stalls, the sights, sounds and smells of an LSD soaked amble around the various fields in the wee small hours. On the first night I always loved loading up chemically and getting totally lost for hours, having weird adventures in and out of tents/cafes/temporary stages which you would most likely never find again. No other Glastonbury film has caught that experience so perfectly.

                        This is the stuff that stays with you for the rest of your life. This is what's really unique to the Glastonbury festival.

                        If you just want to watch a compilation of bands then this film is definitely not for you.

                        If you want to relive the heady uniqueness that actually raises Glastonbury above all the other "glorified concert" festivals then this certainly IS the film you've been looking for.
