FOOTSTEPS SQUELCHING THROUGH MUD

0:00:110:00:13

-What time is it?

-2.40am. In the morning.

0:00:220:00:27

On Thursday June 27th.

0:00:270:00:29

I've brought toothpaste instead of porn!

0:00:290:00:33

What's that all about? Got what?!

0:00:330:00:36

High-energy drink and earplugs.

0:00:360:00:38

-Earplugs for sleeping...

-Oh, right.

-..and high-energy drinks for not sleeping!

0:00:380:00:43

How we doing?

0:00:460:00:47

How are we going to fit? Am I sitting on you?

0:00:470:00:50

Oh, you wish!

0:00:500:00:53

And did those feet in ancient time

0:00:550:00:58

walk upon England's mountain green?

0:00:580:01:01

And was the holy lamb of God

0:01:010:01:03

on England's pleasant pastures seen?

0:01:030:01:06

And did the countenance divine

0:01:060:01:09

shine forth upon these clouded hills?

0:01:090:01:12

And was Jerusalem builded here

0:01:120:01:16

among these dark satanic mills?

0:01:160:01:18

# Tell me you love me

0:01:200:01:23

# It's all right... #

0:01:230:01:26

CROWD: Ohh...

0:01:260:01:29

Glastonbury.

0:01:310:01:32

Epicentre of the spirits of Albion.

0:01:340:01:38

Resting place of the Holy Grail.

0:01:380:01:40

Burial site of King Arthur,

0:01:400:01:42

the reconciler of Celt and Saxon.

0:01:420:01:44

Convergence of the power lines of the mind.

0:01:440:01:47

Jerusalem.

0:01:490:01:51

Yeah, but it's not real, is it?

0:01:510:01:53

It can't be real...can it?

0:01:530:01:55

Give it to me, Glastonbury!

0:01:550:01:58

We want it hardcore. Bring it on! Come o-o-o-o-on!

0:01:580:02:02

From prehistoric times, when it was truly an island

0:02:020:02:06

in the floods and marshes surrounding it,

0:02:060:02:08

Glastonbury has been a place of refuge or pilgrimage

0:02:080:02:11

for saints, mystics and holy men.

0:02:110:02:14

Many of them settled there as hermits, finally adding their bones

0:02:140:02:18

to the collection of sacred relics.

0:02:180:02:21

Glastonbury is built on a legend, the most remarkable in Christendom.

0:02:210:02:25

According to the sacred histories of England,

0:02:250:02:28

it was shortly after the Crucifixion

0:02:280:02:31

that Saint Joseph of Arimathea first appeared in Glastonbury.

0:02:310:02:35

He had been to England before,

0:02:350:02:37

to Cornwall during his days as a tin trader,

0:02:370:02:40

and it's claimed in West Country folklore that, on one occasion,

0:02:400:02:45

he brought with him his nephew, Jesus Christ.

0:02:450:02:48

There are even legends which state

0:02:480:02:50

that Jesus himself visited Glastonbury.

0:02:500:02:54

ALL: Hey!

0:02:540:02:56

We're off to Glastonbury!

0:02:560:02:58

# Stop that train

0:03:030:03:05

# I wanna get on

0:03:050:03:08

# My baby, she's leaving me now

0:03:080:03:12

# Stop that train

0:03:150:03:17

# I wanna get on

0:03:170:03:19

# My baby, she's leaving me now... #

0:03:190:03:23

He hasn't got a ticket.

0:03:230:03:27

It's no problem, I'm just gonna jump over.

0:03:270:03:30

THEY LAUGH

0:03:300:03:31

# ..Sha la la la la la la la la la la la

0:03:310:03:35

# Ooh, yeah

0:03:350:03:37

# Sha la la la la la la la la la la la...

0:03:370:03:41

# Sha la la la la la la la la la la la... #

0:03:420:03:46

-There it is over there. See?

-It's not that far, is it?

0:03:460:03:50

Can you follow the blue Transit?

0:04:030:04:05

# ..Stop that train I wanna get on... #

0:04:050:04:07

GIRL SINGS

0:04:140:04:17

INTRO TO: "All Tomorrow's Parties"

0:04:270:04:31

# And what costume shall the poor girl wear

0:04:390:04:43

# To all tomorrow's parties?

0:04:480:04:52

# A hand-me-down dress from who knows where

0:04:550:05:00

# To all tomorrow's parties

0:05:030:05:09

# And where will she go What shall she do

0:05:110:05:17

# When midnight comes around?

0:05:170:05:22

# She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown

0:05:240:05:29

# And cry behind the door... #

0:05:320:05:37

What do you do in your daily life?

0:05:540:05:57

I work for an insurance company!

0:05:570:05:59

-So you come here to do what that's different from that?

-Er, be me.

0:05:590:06:03

Be really me. Cos my job's a bit mundane, desk bound, not real.

0:06:030:06:08

Sunglasses. Very important. Mobile phone. Very important.

0:06:110:06:15

Camera. Very important.

0:06:150:06:17

A little bit of something to keep me going. That's all.

0:06:170:06:20

Luxury.

0:06:200:06:21

Do you tend to get lucky at Glastonbury?

0:06:210:06:24

No. I avoid it, actually at Glastonbury,

0:06:240:06:27

because there's more interesting things to be doing.

0:06:270:06:30

It's windy, isn't it?

0:06:350:06:37

It is very windy.

0:06:370:06:38

COWS MOO

0:06:400:06:42

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:06:440:06:47

Go on then, I'll make you famous.

0:06:500:06:53

GROUP SINGS

0:07:150:07:20

SHE ULULATES

0:07:380:07:39

APPLAUSE

0:08:200:08:22

It's a huge job, actually, getting a...

0:08:240:08:27

-How are you getting on?

-Good show.

-How are you getting on?

-All right.

0:08:270:08:31

Have you been before?

0:08:310:08:33

-Of course we have. This is my tenth time.

-Oh, well done.

0:08:330:08:36

-What about you, have you been before?

-Yeah, I've been around a few years.

-All right, innit?

0:08:360:08:40

-It's a bit overrated, innit?

-Quite a lot of hippies.

0:08:400:08:43

Overrated, yeah - that's probably true!

0:08:430:08:45

-We're lovely Essex boys and...

-We're normal.

0:08:450:08:48

We're going back to Woodstock days.

0:08:480:08:50

We're going for that feeling.

0:08:500:08:53

Everyone - the love feeling, sugar.

0:08:530:08:56

In the days before supermarkets, when they used to deliver bread,

0:08:560:09:00

this baker lady came and said, "Have you seen those funny people?"

0:09:000:09:04

I said, "What's wrong with them?" She said, "They call them hippies."

0:09:040:09:07

I said, "Really? What do they look like?"

0:09:070:09:10

THEY SING

0:09:100:09:14

We've heard so much about the place, because the vibes and the land around here...

0:09:160:09:21

are very nice and peaceful.

0:09:210:09:23

-The what?

-The vibes. The vibrations from the ground.

0:09:230:09:25

I went to the blues festival at the showground in 1970,

0:09:250:09:31

I didn't see a fence anywhere.

0:09:310:09:33

So I fell in love with the whole idea of it.

0:09:330:09:36

All these lovely people, lovely music, lovely weather, lovely fields... Can't go wrong.

0:09:360:09:41

T-REX: # Wear a tall hat like a druid in the old days

0:09:410:09:44

# Wear a tall hat and a tattooed gown

0:09:440:09:48

# Ride a white swan like the people of the Beltane

0:09:480:09:51

# Wear your hair long, babe you can't go wrong... #

0:09:510:09:54

-You look very comfortable on your superloo. Can I join you?

-Certainly.

0:09:580:10:02

Ah, that's better.

0:10:020:10:03

It seems, I think, to many people slightly incongruous

0:10:030:10:08

to site a festival here in the heart of a very quiet peaceful countryside.

0:10:080:10:11

It's a super place for it,

0:10:110:10:13

it's absolutely ideal. It's a kind of euphoria down here,

0:10:130:10:16

it's away from the awful realities of life. It's a nice place.

0:10:160:10:20

The Vale of Avalon and Glastonbury and all the mystique surrounding it. It's a nice place for it.

0:10:200:10:26

You make it sound very romantic, but surely hard cash is really the...

0:10:260:10:30

-the object of the exercise.

-Well, the farm is such a dead loss,

0:10:300:10:34

we've got to look to other ways of making money.

0:10:340:10:36

What is the one thing that's worrying you more than anything else at this moment?

0:10:530:10:58

How many I'm going to get here.

0:11:000:11:02

And how many gatecrashers I'm gonna get.

0:11:020:11:04

CROWD CHEERS

0:11:040:11:07

My mate's band was not cut, he pulled it off his hand.

0:11:110:11:14

-It's stretched.

-He pulled it off his hand!

0:11:140:11:16

# Take a little walk to the edge of town

0:11:220:11:26

# And go across the tracks

0:11:260:11:28

# Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom

0:11:300:11:34

# As it shifts and cracks

0:11:340:11:38

# Where secrets lie in the border fires

0:11:380:11:44

# In the humming wires

0:11:440:11:45

# Hey, man, you know you're never coming back

0:11:450:11:49

# Past the bridge and the gulley

0:11:490:11:51

# By the river, at the stacks

0:11:510:11:53

# On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man

0:11:550:12:00

# In a dusty black coat with a red right hand

0:12:000:12:04

# You'll see him in your head On the TV screen... #

0:12:310:12:35

This is not funny, you know, this is not the time to be taking wedding photos!

0:12:350:12:40

# ..He's a ghost, he's a god He's a man, he's a guru

0:12:400:12:46

# You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan

0:12:480:12:53

# Designed and directed by his red right hand... #

0:12:530:12:57

Everybody go home, the wedding's off!

0:12:570:13:00

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Thank you.

0:13:070:13:10

COWS MOO

0:13:100:13:12

It was a success musically.

0:13:140:13:15

It was super. It was a lovely day. But it was a loss financially.

0:13:150:13:18

-I lost a bit of money.

-Would you do it again?

0:13:180:13:21

I don't know. I haven't got courage enough at the moment.

0:13:210:13:25

I think it's great. Shouldn't end. Never end.

0:13:250:13:27

-You want it to go on for ever?

-Yeah. For a million years.

0:13:270:13:30

PEOPLE BLEAT

0:13:300:13:34

I wasn't really the best of farmers, to be honest.

0:13:340:13:37

He was always keen on music. As a family, we were always keen on music.

0:13:370:13:41

We used to sing around the piano. Mostly hymns.

0:13:410:13:44

That was our entertainment.

0:13:440:13:46

Yeah. There is a nonconformist tradition in the West Country that we're the centre of.

0:13:460:13:52

I've got a lot of uncles that were Methodist ministers and things.

0:13:520:13:58

And my father was a preacher.

0:13:580:14:00

PA: 'Please do not piss in the ditches.'

0:14:000:14:04

'Or in the hedges.'

0:14:040:14:06

'It might be all right for one person to do it,

0:14:060:14:09

'but when you've got thousands of people,

0:14:090:14:12

'it all gets into the drainage and pollutes the water courses around Glastonbury.

0:14:120:14:18

'And it's one of the conditions of getting a licence next year

0:14:180:14:23

'that we sort it out.

0:14:230:14:25

'So if you could all, please, use the toilet facilities provided,

0:14:250:14:29

'then there'll be a Glastonbury next year!'

0:14:290:14:32

COCK CROWS

0:14:460:14:48

The newcomers that actually came to the village said, "What are the Eavises like?"

0:14:480:14:53

"They're very, very clever, but they've got no respect for the law."

0:14:530:14:57

THEY LAUGH

0:14:570:14:58

That was extraordinary. I was looking at my licensing record.

0:15:020:15:05

THEY CONTINUE LAUGHING

0:15:050:15:08

We were weaned on all that rather left-wing, sort of liberal stuff

0:15:080:15:13

about war and about people's liberty.

0:15:130:15:16

That's all part of the Methodist background that I've had.

0:15:160:15:19

PEOPLE LAUGH

0:15:190:15:21

When I saw people protesting about the Vietnam war,

0:15:260:15:29

and what with the music and Woodstock as well,

0:15:290:15:32

it all suited me absolutely perfectly.

0:15:320:15:34

But the second festival was the Pyramid Festival in '71,

0:15:340:15:38

and it was a free festival.

0:15:380:15:40

The hippies did that one on their own.

0:15:400:15:42

-It was a chap called Andrew Kerr.

-You see, we can't tell

0:15:420:15:46

what good will come out of it

0:15:460:15:49

until we've tried.

0:15:490:15:51

Andrew worked for Randolph Churchill

0:15:560:15:59

and Arabella, Winston Churchill's granddaughter, turned up as well.

0:15:590:16:03

She was 21 and she had recently come into some money,

0:16:030:16:06

so between them they made it happen, basically.

0:16:060:16:10

LYRICS INDISTINCT

0:16:140:16:20

And it was all to do with falling in love,

0:16:550:16:59

and you know, loving life, and all that sort of thing,

0:16:590:17:02

and children and...

0:17:020:17:05

There was all love attached to it, a lot of feeling about it.

0:17:080:17:11

It's romantic and it's beautiful and...

0:17:110:17:16

Though to the hippies,

0:17:170:17:19

the Glastonbury Fair has been a time of peace and happiness to everyone,

0:17:190:17:23

there have been certain aspects of it

0:17:230:17:25

that have disturbed what they call, "the straight society."

0:17:250:17:28

That's just about everyone but themselves.

0:17:280:17:31

Aspects such as the free lovemaking,

0:17:310:17:33

the fertility rites, the naked dancing,

0:17:330:17:35

and, most of all,

0:17:350:17:37

the drug taking. Somerset County Police drug squad

0:17:370:17:40

have been mingling with the hippies at the Festival.

0:17:400:17:43

Others have been watching what's going on through binoculars.

0:17:430:17:46

At times, it was a bit scary, cos they're all on drugs and things.

0:17:490:17:53

And it was very acidy in those days, a lot of acid around.

0:17:530:17:57

I really enjoyed the whole festival concept,

0:18:010:18:04

the politics of it, the mood of it and everything.

0:18:040:18:07

But the drugs didn't really enter into it for me,

0:18:070:18:10

because, in a funny kind of way, we were quite puritanical.

0:18:100:18:14

We don't drink much and we get more pleasure from working than you do from partying.

0:18:140:18:20

# This is what it's all about

0:18:240:18:27

# Take me in and eat me out

0:18:280:18:31

# Pins and needles in my arms

0:18:310:18:34

# Lucky eyes and lucky charms

0:18:340:18:38

# Fearless, fearless, oh

0:18:380:18:42

# And I know that's why you love me

0:18:420:18:45

# Fearless, fearless, come on

0:18:450:18:50

# And I know that's why you love me

0:18:500:18:52

# Fearless, fearless, whoa

0:18:520:18:55

# And I know that's why you love me, chica

0:18:570:19:01

# And I know that's why you love me, chica

0:19:010:19:03

# Oh, that's why you love me, chica

0:19:030:19:08

# Oh...

0:19:080:19:10

# Oh, fearless. #

0:19:200:19:23

CHEERING

0:19:310:19:33

Please remove yourselves from those steps. Listen,

0:19:390:19:44

I was born in Glastonbury.

0:19:440:19:46

It means a lot to me.

0:19:460:19:48

You... You're just abusing all the things that Glastonians stand for.

0:19:480:19:53

I came to Glastonbury because it's a spiritual centre.

0:20:020:20:05

Because Christ came here as a child.

0:20:050:20:08

Because the Holy Grail is buried here.

0:20:080:20:11

-And because...it's Glastonbury.

-I feel that it's a perfect disgrace.

0:20:110:20:15

I object to the filth and flies that have been left about our hedgerows.

0:20:150:20:19

A number of them do - and I mean do - smell to high heaven.

0:20:190:20:23

It's not just a slight question of BO, it's really evil smelling in some cases.

0:20:230:20:29

Somebody has to make a stand against these very dirty, very unwashed people.

0:20:290:20:34

I'm not saying they're all dirty and all unwashed.

0:20:340:20:37

But they do give a lot of offence.

0:20:370:20:39

People have come here for various reasons for many, many centuries.

0:20:390:20:44

I do get concerned that a minority group like this,

0:20:440:20:48

which would really like to make their home here,

0:20:480:20:52

being hounded by a section of the community out of the town.

0:20:520:20:55

Will you be going to the festival?

0:20:550:20:58

I don't know yet. I might.

0:20:580:21:00

Yeah, I'm going with a Tommy gun.

0:21:000:21:01

Why is that?

0:21:010:21:03

Ha!

0:21:030:21:05

How do you feel about the festival?

0:21:050:21:07

No comment.

0:21:070:21:09

# You have never been in love

0:21:160:21:20

# Until you've seen the stars

0:21:200:21:25

# Reflect in the reservoirs

0:21:250:21:29

# And you have never been in love

0:21:300:21:34

# Until you've seen the dawn rise

0:21:360:21:39

# Behind the home for the blind We are...

0:21:390:21:44

# The pretty, petty thieves

0:21:440:21:50

# And you're standing on our street

0:21:520:21:57

# Where Hector was the first of the gang

0:21:570:22:00

# With a gun in his hand

0:22:000:22:03

# And the first to do time

0:22:030:22:04

# The first of the gang to die... #

0:22:040:22:07

They're too small.

Let there be peace to the East.

0:22:400:22:42

CROWD: Peace to the East.

0:22:420:22:44

Let there be peace to the South.

0:22:440:22:46

CROWD: Let there be peace to the South...

0:22:460:22:49

Let there be peace to the West.

0:22:490:22:51

CROWD: Let there be peace to the West.

0:22:510:22:53

-It's so weird...!

-THEY GIGGLE

0:22:530:22:55

We'll get back to you at a later date.

0:22:590:23:01

At Glastonbury, we have the tepee field.

0:23:240:23:26

It enables people to realise perhaps that what makes people happy in life

0:23:260:23:32

isn't the level of material consumption that they can enjoy,

0:23:320:23:36

but actually, a closeness to nature and a wealth of human relationships around them.

0:23:360:23:41

The ethos that goes with tepee living is really the...

0:23:430:23:47

North American Indian ethos that you live lightly on the earth.

0:23:470:23:51

What Gandhi said, "There's enough for everyone's need, but not for everyone's greed."

0:23:510:23:55

I don't think it's a hard lifestyle.

0:24:010:24:04

It's not as hard as going to work at a job you don't like

0:24:040:24:08

for 40 years to pay a mortgage on a house.

0:24:080:24:10

It involves hard work every day if you're going to keep it together.

0:24:120:24:17

Nothing is as simple as flicking a switch and...

0:24:190:24:22

you've got instant energy and power.

0:24:220:24:24

But that's the problem with our society

0:24:240:24:27

and it's overhunger for energy that's driving the world into climate change and running out of resources.

0:24:270:24:34

Living in a tepee, you're very much more in touch with nature

0:24:360:24:40

all the way around.

0:24:400:24:42

At least you're aware of it.

0:24:500:24:51

You're not shut off from it inside a box,

0:24:510:24:54

looking at a box in the corner of a box.

0:24:540:24:56

Here we all are, but we know that there are other beings, you know,

0:25:060:25:10

in helicopters, police, etc, etc, who don't share

0:25:100:25:14

our sense that we just want to be with one another

0:25:140:25:17

and just evolve in a slowly feedback system.

0:25:170:25:20

So, I think that the festival is actually an interface between...

0:25:200:25:25

a loving vibe and a resentful one.

0:25:250:25:29

Hey? What, the watchtowers?

0:25:290:25:31

This is basically, the Glastonbury fence.

0:25:310:25:35

More security down here.

0:25:370:25:39

SHE LAUGHS

0:25:390:25:41

It's got a bad press, but I'm suggesting anarchy works well here,

-Did you see them?

0:42:160:42:20

-Did you see them do it?

-Our real breakthrough

0:42:200:42:22

was when Maggie Thatcher came to power in 1979,

0:42:220:42:25

because there was a huge backlash to Thatcherism. The only opportunity people had to express themselves

0:42:250:42:31

was here. So, they came here in thousands.

0:42:310:42:34

And we went, "Maggie out!" You know, "Maggie, out, out, out! Maggie out!"

0:42:340:42:38

When little Emily was a baby, she said, "Are we gonna go on a Maggie out today?"

0:42:380:42:43

You know, she thought that that was a way of enjoying yourself.

0:42:430:42:47

-So...

-HE LAUGHS

0:42:470:42:49

But we were anti-Polaris and anti-cruise at the time.

0:42:490:42:52

So, I put her on my back

0:42:520:42:53

-and we'd go marching.

-# How does it feel

0:42:530:42:58

# To treat me like you do?

-I remember, one of the first times I came,

in the Crusades, with its tents all over the fields.

a nation of theatre and musicians,

an alternative nation. And it is this alternative nation

Bad protesting background, we've always moaned about everything.

0:45:470:45:50

And here we are, moaning like mad now.

0:45:500:45:54

I mean, Greenpeace, you know, Oxfam, WaterAid,

0:45:540:45:58

and all the left stuff. We've got a Left Field stage.

0:45:580:46:01

We had Billy Bragg whingeing on all last night.

0:46:010:46:03

# ..Axis of evil by putting smart bombs

0:46:060:46:10

And we've got Wedgie Benn this afternoon.

0:46:100:46:13

If there is anybody here from New Labour,

0:46:130:46:17

your money will be refunded if you leave quietly...

0:46:170:46:21

CHEERING

0:46:210:46:24

Is that music out there or in my head?

0:47:120:47:14

In the old hippy days,

0:47:190:47:21

it was all love and peace, flower power and bells and things,

0:47:210:47:25

and mystics and cosmics. But now, it's more politically orientated

0:47:250:47:29

as it's CND. It hasn't changed a lot. The hippies have had their hair cut

0:47:290:47:33

and they've got kids now, who are here and in the play area. It's the same sort of people,

0:47:330:47:37

but they've tidied themselves up a bit, I think.

0:47:370:47:41

# You bum right here and you bounce over there, sponji reggae. Eh!

0:47:480:47:55

# Bum right here and you bounce over there, sponji reggae

0:47:550:47:59

# I say you punch right here and you punch over there, sponji reggae... #

0:48:000:48:05

Peace. Freedom. Conservative Party literature...

0:48:050:48:09

of an anarchist nature.

0:48:090:48:11

How do you get to the Falkland Islands?

0:48:120:48:14

# ..Some say I am nuts, zooky crazy!

0:48:140:48:18

# Want I to leave the music alone

0:48:190:48:24

# They say, go and look work I and I are lazy... #

0:48:240:48:29

I think the numbers came before we were ready for them, really,

0:48:290:48:33

because it was growing so quickly.

0:48:330:48:35

In 1981, it was nice, with about 20,000 people.

0:48:350:48:38

But it was virtually doubling every time we did it. And of course, the council criticised me,

0:48:380:48:43

and then took me to court every year and I was prosecuted. It was the cat and mouse thing throughout the '80s.

0:48:430:48:48

Me versus the council.

0:48:480:48:51

It's a breach of his conditions for his music licence. Capacity crowd of 35,000,

0:48:510:48:57

he's well over that, so in my opinion, we wouldn't be doing our duty

0:48:570:49:01

if we didn't prosecute him for that offence.

0:49:010:49:03

We're very pleased that it's so successful. But, er...

0:49:030:49:07

You can't really criticise us for doing something well.

0:49:070:49:10

I can't see how we're ever going to stop it. I mean,

0:49:120:49:16

if we refuse to give an entertainments' licence,

0:49:160:49:19

they can still come along and sit down. Providing they don't have any licence. He can have 100,000,

0:49:190:49:24

and in no way could we do anything about it.

0:49:240:49:26

MONGOLIAN THROAT SINGING

0:50:040:50:09

The guy with the wee beard - Michael Eavis is punk,

0:50:090:50:11

because he went like that... "I'm gonnae organise something

0:50:110:50:15

"that somebody doesnae want me to organise."

0:50:150:50:18

Inner city!

0:50:440:50:46

CHEERING

0:50:470:50:50

The police don't come on site but they're very helpful off site

0:51:100:51:14

with traffic and things, but we never have them on site.

0:51:140:51:17

If people are having a good time, you haven't got any fences much,

0:51:170:51:20

people do what they want to do.

0:51:200:51:22

They're free to rove around, and that's why we don't get the problems.

0:51:220:51:26

People are being strip-searched.

0:51:260:51:29

We're complaining about police harassment, in a peaceful way.

0:51:290:51:32

There's one Festival organiser who's been stopped 16 times in his car.

0:51:320:51:37

-It's got beyond a joke.

-It will be the first time they've been able to get off this bloody site

0:51:370:51:43

without first visiting the police station.

0:51:430:51:46

We've been getting hassle off the police just coming in and out to get supplies.

0:51:460:51:50

People are being busted for no reason. This Sus law is really bad.

0:51:500:51:53

It's blacks who are usually picked on, but now they're picking on whites as well and we don't like it.

0:51:530:51:58

Ooooh! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

0:51:580:52:03

Ooh-ha-ha! Ooh-ha-ha-ha! Ooh!

0:52:030:52:06

SQUAWK! SQUAWK! SQUAWK!

0:52:110:52:13

-Oh, it's teeming today.

-SQUAWK!

0:52:130:52:16

-CHEERING

-Bloody hell!

0:52:350:52:39

120 people yesterday.

0:52:410:52:44

That's what we caught in two hours last night.

0:52:440:52:48

It's better if you use a thick line, cos some of them are 200 pounds.

0:52:480:52:52

You keep your eye out.

0:52:520:52:53

-Put your cap down over the corner of your eye, look dead sly-eyed.

-This is all we've done for four days!

0:52:530:52:59

Eh!

0:52:590:53:01

He's only literally nearly cut me finger off!

0:53:010:53:05

Yeah, I thought I might be able to get some drugs.

0:53:050:53:08

The funny thing is, this event would not have succeeded if I'd been on drugs.

0:53:080:53:12

I really haven't got any sympathy with drug-taking at all.

0:53:140:53:17

I spent the last hour going round with our own drugs squad,

0:53:170:53:21

taking down signs, confiscating... I've got a boot full of stuff.

0:53:210:53:25

And we're doing that all the time.

0:53:250:53:28

I could get put away for the drugs I've got in the boot of my car.

0:53:280:53:32

But I'm going to, obviously, dispose of it!

0:53:320:53:35

HE LAUGHS

0:53:350:53:37

How do you feel about the fact that so many people who come to the festival do take drugs?

0:53:370:53:41

I don't know whether they do or not. I'm sure there are a lot of people...

0:53:410:53:45

..that do still, I suppose. Do you think so?

0:53:470:53:49

She was over there with it though.

0:53:490:53:51

She went over that way with it.

0:53:510:53:54

# So you wanna be a rock superstar And live large

0:54:160:54:18

0:55:080:55:12

Tea's up!

0:55:120:55:13

-Nice cup of tea, dear?

-Thank you.

0:55:140:55:16

NEIGHING

0:55:160:55:20

Come on in.

0:55:200:55:21

CHILD MUMBLES

0:55:240:55:29

Is this going to be called Worthyhenge?

0:55:440:55:46

No, it's not a henge at all, it's a stone circle.

0:55:460:55:49

-Right.

-Stonehenge has got bits on the top.

0:55:490:55:53

Stonehenge was a spiritual centre

0:56:010:56:03

and it was a political claim of, "This is the people's land."

0:56:030:56:07

Bought and left for the people hundreds of years ago,

0:56:070:56:10

let alone built by the people thousands of years ago.

0:56:100:56:14

During the years when Stonehenge and Glastonbury were running at the same time,

0:56:160:56:21

there was a kind of rivalry between the two.

0:56:210:56:23

The poorer people, the riffraff, the ones with the dogs, big trucks and so on tended to go to Stonehenge,

0:56:230:56:29

which was free. And in a way, that worked very well for Michael.

0:56:290:56:32

CHEERING

0:56:480:56:53

There was a big change in 1980.

0:56:530:56:55

The travellers were having a very hard time in society.

0:56:570:57:00

There were lots more of them, because there were lots more homeless and jobless people.

0:57:000:57:06

It was the sensible ones who chose to live in the back of a truck,

0:57:060:57:10

rather than living in a cardboard box under a bridge in London.

0:57:100:57:14

The whole counter-culture was seen by the Thatcherites

0:57:150:57:19

as part of Maggie's enemy within.

0:57:190:57:21

Just like the miners, just like the peace movement,

0:57:210:57:24

and there was a lot of overlap.

0:57:240:57:27

# I said I see no joy I see only sorrow

0:57:270:57:29

# I see no chance of your bright new tomorrow

0:57:290:57:32

# So, stand down, Margaret Stand down please

0:57:320:57:35

# Stand down, Margaret... #

0:57:350:57:37

In '82, a convoy from Stonehenge went off to Greenham Common.

0:57:370:57:43

# ..You tell me how can it work in this all-white law?

0:57:430:57:46

# What a short sharp lesson What a third world war

0:57:460:57:49

# Oh, stand down, Margaret Stand down, please

0:57:490:57:52

# Stand down, Margaret... #

0:57:520:57:54

There was a few hundred yards of fencing that got knocked down.

0:57:540:57:57

The authorities didn't like that.

0:57:570:57:59

And it was those same people

0:57:590:58:01

who provided the nucleus of the convoy

0:58:010:58:04

that was duffed over by the police at Stonehenge beanfield in 1985.

0:58:040:58:08

-SCREAMING

-My kid's in here!

0:58:100:58:13

VIA LOUDSPEAKER: You have no escape!

0:58:130:58:16

SHOUTING

0:58:160:58:18

-Agh! Get off me!

-Go away! Go away!

0:58:180:58:24

Now you stay there, boy!

0:58:290:58:31

WOMAN SCREAMS On the deck, on the deck!

0:58:330:58:36

On the deck!

0:58:360:58:37

SHE SCREAMS

0:58:370:58:39

-NO!

-Don't argue!

0:58:390:58:41

They smashed my windows, they hit me on the head with truncheons!

0:58:470:58:51

They hit me when I was on the floor!

0:58:510:58:53

See what they're doing to us?!

0:58:530:58:55

When we had to leave Stonehenge, we didn't have anywhere to go.

0:58:590:59:03

We managed to get down as far as Glastonbury,

0:59:030:59:06

and we had such trouble with the police and the authorities

0:59:060:59:09

that we ended up opening a gate at the top corner of Michael's

0:59:090:59:12

and going and seeing him and saying, "We're really in a difficult situation here,

0:59:120:59:17

"is it all right if we stay for a few days?"

0:59:170:59:19

And bless him, he said, "Yes, OK, you can stay." So...

0:59:190:59:23

in ways that people wouldn't know about,

0:59:230:59:26

he's shown his heart and given, you know?

0:59:260:59:31

And he needn't have done at all.

0:59:310:59:33

I gave them space and we gave them food and we gave them blankets and things.

0:59:330:59:39

It was like a refugee status for those people, really.

0:59:390:59:42

The council said we had to get rid of all of the adults

0:59:430:59:46

that were not women and children. So we had to stage an exodus

0:59:460:59:50

for all these blokes to actually leave the site.

0:59:500:59:53

Bye!

0:59:530:59:55

They went down to the Somerset coast

0:59:550:59:57

and they all came back in small little groups, so that they thought they'd gone,

0:59:571:00:01

-but they all came back again.

-CHEERING

1:00:011:00:04

They were the fathers of the children,

1:00:041:00:06

so they had to be together, basically.

1:00:061:00:08

We were playing all sorts of games with the authorities

1:00:081:00:11

to make the festival succeed.

1:00:111:00:13

MUSIC: Intro to "Laura" by Scissor Sisters

1:00:131:00:20

# Laura, can't you give me some time

1:00:401:00:43

# Don't you give me your love

INSTRUMENTAL

1:01:331:01:35

-Is your name Brian?

-It's not Brian, mate, no. It's not Brian!

1:01:451:01:50

We want to party!

1:01:501:01:52

Really. We want to be. We don't want to have to justify who, what we are,

1:01:521:01:57

just to please everybody else and say the nice thing

1:01:571:01:59

and suck up to people's egos because your face fits,

1:01:591:02:02

we don't want none of that.

1:02:021:02:04

We want equality, freedom, we want to be what we are.

1:02:041:02:07

End of story.

1:02:071:02:09

"Mutate or die."

1:02:101:02:12

Yeah.

1:02:121:02:14

-# ..This is my integration... #

-It's 20 years

1:02:181:02:22

since we first came to Glastonbury. We thought, "If we can't go to Stonehenge, we can build it

1:02:221:02:27

-"somewhere else." So, we built Stonehenge out of old cars.

-# ..Just to feel your...

1:02:271:02:31

# Vibration

1:02:311:02:33

# Gonna have a soul shakedown party... #

1:02:331:02:37

Michael had allowed all the travellers in the back door, but he knew what he was doing.

1:02:371:02:42

# ..Ah, ooh-ooh-ooh Doing the outside dance

1:02:421:02:46

# The way you love me

1:02:481:02:49

# It's all right... #

1:02:511:02:52

We had this mad drumming marathon on the Saturday night - the solstice night.

1:02:521:02:56

Thousands of people came and drummed right through the night, into the dawn,

1:02:561:03:02

like a mad zombie beat that wouldn't be stopped.

1:03:021:03:05

HEAVY DRUMMING AND CHEERING

1:03:051:03:09

It gave all us travelling people a pride in ourselves that we were doing

1:03:191:03:23

the most lively thing in the Festival.

1:03:231:03:25

Woo! Eavis! Eavis! Eavis!

1:03:251:03:29

COWS MOO

1:03:311:03:37

Morning.

1:03:431:03:44

-This is our finale, isn't it?

-You're really, really bad news.

-You say we're bad news, we're good news,

1:03:531:03:59

-we had good reports...

-You're so fuckin' unreliable! All the work I've been doing for you.

1:03:591:04:04

You invited yourselves here, I gave you 19 tickets to come on,

1:04:041:04:08

-I said we'd look after you...

-We gave you the best show you've had for years.

-..We'd look after you...

1:04:081:04:13

-We gave you the only show that isn't...

-..We fed you for six weeks in real style,

1:04:131:04:17

-we looked after you and offered you £500 as well.

-I don't care.

1:04:171:04:20

All we want is our money and a tenner in our pockets each for the work that we've put in.

1:04:201:04:25

We spent more than we're getting now just getting here.

1:04:251:04:28

-I don't know what you expected...

-We expected not to be out of pocket.

1:04:281:04:32

I've been running this show for 17 years and I've been fair and reasonable in all that time.

1:04:321:04:36

If I hadn't, I wouldn't be here now. I'd have been cut to pieces by now.

1:04:361:04:40

Would I have survived for 17 years if I'd been a cunt?

1:04:401:04:43

-Then why...

-Depends what your margin is.

-Ridiculous!

1:04:431:04:46

Depends what your margin is.

1:04:461:04:48

At the end of the day, Michael's a farmer, and farmers can be notoriously tight, you know?

1:04:481:04:53

We thought that he should have paid us a bit better and he thought that he'd paid us enough.

1:04:531:04:58

But we didn't have any guns, did we?

1:04:581:05:00

-I was sure you had that toy gun, plastic gun.

-No.

1:05:001:05:04

-Where did I get that from?

-I don't know.

-Maybe it was someone else.

1:05:041:05:09

I'm not ashamed of anything I do.

1:05:091:05:12

I mean, it's just so petty, it really is.

1:05:121:05:15

When you've made a million pounds, or half a million pounds,

1:05:151:05:18

to give us £500 is what I call petty.

1:05:181:05:20

-Cheers, mate.

1:05:371:05:42

A tenner each. One for that baby, there we are.

'It's the first time the police have actually been invited onto the festival site by the organisers.'

1:07:191:07:25

Light refreshment!

1:07:281:07:29

'The helicopter is being used in the operation for the first time,

1:07:301:07:34

'but some at the Festival say the police have been heavy-handed.'

1:07:341:07:38

Police have come blaring out of vans and stuff like that at people.

1:07:381:07:42

It's not the polite attitude for a festival.

1:07:421:07:46

There's a certain amount of good-natured banter

1:07:461:07:49

between the police and the site people there.

1:07:491:07:53

He doesn't even know what's going on! And he wants to... But I'm here in the situation...

1:07:531:07:59

You know what I mean?

1:07:591:08:00

-You wouldn't last a second where I come from!

-That's what he did to me wrists with the handcuffs...

1:08:001:08:05

Wrongful arrest. Searched me, didn't find nothing.

1:08:051:08:08

# Trying to mash a Rasta man's life Antichrist, doing it's not nice

1:08:081:08:14

# Trying to mash... #

1:08:141:08:15

Don't do that or you'll get fuckin' arrested!

1:08:151:08:21

Ladies and gentlemen, the masonic handshake!

1:08:291:08:34

And the travellers' culture was very attractive.

1:08:441:08:48

There's that slightly dangerous, anarchistic element that...

1:08:481:08:52

there's a bit of the Middle Ages about it.

1:08:521:08:54

And a bit of the English freedom thing, struggling against authority

1:08:541:08:59

and against control and government and police and things.

1:08:591:09:03

There's sort of, quite an attractive edge to that.

1:09:031:09:05

FOLK MUSIC

1:09:051:09:11

By 1990, the travellers were getting quite nasty to each other.

1:09:141:09:18

They were fighting over drugs and girlfriends and that sort of thing.

1:09:181:09:22

We did get serious problems with that.

1:09:221:09:25

The security people were quite corrupt themselves and they were confiscating drugs

1:09:281:09:32

from the travellers. They were selling them on.

1:09:321:09:35

We tried to separate the two sites, and it didn't really work.

1:09:371:09:40

Then the riot in 1990 was really, really unpleasant.

1:09:421:09:47

SHOUTING

1:09:471:09:50

They were throwing Molotov cocktails

1:09:501:09:53

at the security. Then the police came along with riot shields.

1:09:531:09:57

There was £50,000-worth of damage and they burnt five Land Rovers,

1:10:061:10:10

and they just overran the whole place and they created anarchy.

1:10:101:10:14

There was hatred and bitterness and resent.

1:10:141:10:16

Burn Eavis's barn down!

1:10:161:10:19

I took them on for five years after Stonehenge had closed down.

1:10:191:10:22

We gave them a site, we gave them water,

1:10:221:10:24

we did everything for them, and we totally failed at the end of the day.

1:10:241:10:28

I decided, in 1990, that that was the end of the convoy.

1:10:301:10:34

This place, here, is getting as bad as Stonehenge,

1:10:341:10:37

-and it should not be allowed to happen.

-The fact is, what you wanna do,

1:10:371:10:40

is go on the Pilton site. Mr Eavis says you're not going on.

1:10:401:10:43

-Where do we go then?

-We need somewhere to go.

1:10:431:10:47

There are places you can go all round the country.

1:10:471:10:50

-I think they would like to know there was somewhere that they could go to.

-Mmm. There isn't.

1:10:501:10:55

I'm not giving up now.

1:10:551:10:56

I've got this far, I'm gonna get in there one way or the other.

1:10:561:10:59

-PA:

-There's no travellers here this year, cos no fucker would let them in.

1:10:591:11:04

This song is dedicated to all the people that couldn't get in for some fuckin' stupid reason!

has actually gone to war with Jonathan,

and wants to have him removed from the site.

1:15:501:15:52

As far as I'm concerned, he's off. I'll ring Michael right now.

-Hang on.

-I'm having him off.

I'm sorry, Rollo. I'm sorry, Rollo...

1:15:571:16:00

He's booked to give a performance tomorrow.

1:16:001:16:04

I know it upsets you, but he is going to stay on this site.

1:16:041:16:08

-If you'd like to move somewhere else, we find you somewhere else to go.

-Uh...no!

1:16:081:16:13

-It doesn't work that way. I'm sorry.

-I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

1:16:131:16:16

What is happening is, he's upsetting people with children.

Now, we can't let that happen, so he will be removed. Thank you.

Glastonbury have done a good job on keeping people out this year.

1:32:471:32:51

There's no rebels here this year, the fence has been good.

1:32:511:32:55

Everything's been sorted right.

1:32:551:32:57

Police have been doing the right thing. Everything's been sorted right out.

Nobody's been having too much alcohol and nobody's been having too much anything. Everything is sorted.

1:34:511:34:55

and...led me through here.

1:34:551:34:58

And, uh, we looked at the fire and...

1:34:591:35:02

-But that fire was amazing.

-Oh, it was very amazing!

1:35:021:35:05

That is another piece of the same fire.

1:35:051:35:09

Fucking amazing, man.

1:35:091:35:11

-Splendid.

-It's the middle of the day and... The morning was just brilliant.

1:35:141:35:18

It was fantastic, the sun...

My name's Ray. This is my two sons, Andrew and Mark.

It wasn't until '86 that the fence went right the way around the site.

1:38:291:38:33

And the chap that insisted on that, a councillor, got an MBE for it.

1:38:331:38:38

So he got a lovely award.

1:38:381:38:41

Loads of kids came through the fence, underneath, over the fence,

1:38:461:38:49

and they were city kids that had a lot going for them. It was kinda dangerous

1:38:491:38:53

but it had a kinda vibrant feel to it, it was really fantastically... so exciting!

1:38:531:38:59

# Turn up and die Turn up and die

1:39:441:39:47

We're getting better at it. We're using horses now

1:40:251:40:28

in what we call the moat between the two fences.

1:40:281:40:31

We've got galloping horses, and it does tend to put people off jumping through

1:40:311:40:36

when they see horses running by.

1:40:361:40:39

CROWD CHEERS Come on, it's Rolf.

1:40:391:40:42

-We gotta go?

-Gotta go. See Rolfie baby.

1:40:421:40:46

The main problem, the year 2000, it was, was when the fence came down on a large scale,

1:40:461:40:51

we had 300,000 people in here.

1:40:511:40:55

CROWD CHANTS: # Rolfie, Rolfie... #

1:40:551:41:00

Numbers became a matter of life and death.

1:41:081:41:10

Ten people killed by being crushed in Roskilde that same year.

1:41:101:41:14

So all the ideology, all the free-festival mentality,

1:41:141:41:17

-had gone out the window by then.

-# Out, demons out... #

1:41:171:41:21

So we took a year off and we addressed the problem.

1:41:211:41:25

In that year, we designed... In fact, I sent a postcard with a drawing of what I wanted them to build,

1:41:251:41:30

off to Trakway, the fencing engineers,

1:41:301:41:33

on the Monday morning after the 2000 festival.

1:41:331:41:37

I wanted them to start on it so that I could tell the police and the council

1:41:371:41:41

that I was dealing with it.

1:41:411:41:44

Mean Fiddler were involved as well.

1:41:441:41:46

They gave us a licence for 2002, no problem.

1:41:461:41:49

Going to festivals, it's, like, one of my favourite things to do

1:41:501:41:53

and I'm always thinking, "This is not meaningless."

1:41:531:41:57

There's something about getting together, we've got every right to do.

1:41:571:42:01

They're gonna fuck us of that right. You see that coming, we're gonna be away, separated.

1:42:011:42:08

It was all a bit shaky, really. I was getting bad press because Mean Fiddler were involved.

1:42:091:42:14

They said, "Well, you've sold your soul, haven't you?"

1:42:151:42:19

It was like I'd sold my soul to the devil, basically.

CROWD CHEERS

1:44:071:44:10

These things follow us every fucking where we go in the world,

1:44:101:44:13

in the bloody lift, the stairs, the lobby, the carsey...

1:44:131:44:16

You can't even have a piss in the modern world without some cunt filming it.

1:44:161:44:21

I never! I never!

1:44:231:44:26

Get out there, and when you see the BBC,

1:44:261:44:30

wave at them with a stick!

1:44:301:44:32

Just wave it at them!

1:44:321:44:35

That kid there, get him!

1:44:351:44:37

I spoke to Joe and he said, "I'm really, really sorry, Mike, about what happened on stage.

1:44:401:44:45

"I really lost it, I'm afraid. I'm really, really sorry."

1:44:451:44:48

I think he really regretted it.

1:44:481:44:51

-Hello! You all right, lads?

-WOMAN GIGGLES

1:44:511:44:55

Bugger off, you're not wanted!

1:44:551:44:57

WOMAN GIGGLES AGAIN

1:44:571:44:59

So the fence became king to the whole thing.

1:44:591:45:02

# And did those feet

1:45:021:45:06

# In ancient time

1:45:061:45:10

# Walk upon England's... #

1:45:101:45:12

I think it's a good thing. It's nice to be more secure.

1:45:121:45:15

It's nice to know that your stuff's not gonna get robbed.

1:45:151:45:18

I remember the fence at Greenham and I thought,

1:45:181:45:21

what they need here is a lesbian crew

1:45:211:45:24

to take the fence down, frankly!

1:45:241:45:27

At the end of the day, we want this to carry on.

1:45:271:45:30

It should be a lot more back to how it used to be 20 years ago, a lot more peace and love, man, you know?

-'Too many rich people.

-No more travellers.'

1:45:581:46:01

It was them that started it, so if they won't let them in, there's no point in having a festival

1:46:011:46:07

cos the spirit's gone from it. No heart in it no more.

1:46:071:46:10

Yah-hoo!

1:46:221:46:23

Hoo-hoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

1:46:231:46:27

Hoo!

1:46:271:46:28

I think I miss some of the chaos of previous years.

1:46:281:46:32

I'm not saying that was all a good thing, but I think it's a sanitised caricature, in a way,

1:46:321:46:38

of what it used to be, in some ways. But in other ways, it's very good.

1:46:381:46:42

I now have a young daughter and I feel safe now with her on site.

1:46:421:46:46

And I appreciate that a certain level of organisation has to occur,

1:46:461:46:50

but we've got to be very careful not to Big Brother too much -

1:46:501:46:54

bottom wiped, nose cleaned and the rest. We've got to balance the two.

1:46:541:46:58

I'm not a New Age traveller any more, I'm a middle-aged settler.

1:46:581:47:02

I miss the travellers a bit. We've lost the edge, that vibrant thing.

1:47:041:47:09

I want to get them involved rather than sitting around blocking roadways and stuff, you know.

1:47:091:47:14

This is Los Vague House, a friend of Roy.

1:47:141:47:19

He was a convoy by the '80s, gave me lots of grief.

1:47:191:47:23

He was the leader of the pack, with a convoy pack.

1:47:231:47:27

They were all convoy folk, really.

1:47:321:47:35

It was quite edgy, it was quite...

1:47:351:47:37

-Roy! You made it, in the end!

-How are you?

-You're looking very smart -

1:47:371:47:42

1:47:451:47:49

Everything from boxing to weddings.

1:47:491:47:52

..As to why these two persons may not be joined together in holy matrimony,

the Americans didn't really do it - they did it twice, with Woodstock.

They couldn't live with it. We have a tradition of putting up with a lot of grief, a lot of untidiness,

a lot of ugliness, in the rain and the mud. And we're still enjoying ourselves.

1:53:251:53:27

# ..Sha la la

1:53:271:53:29

# But chilly, chilly is the evening time

1:53:291:53:33

# Waterloo sunset's fine

1:53:331:53:37

# Ah... #

1:53:371:53:39

God save the Kinks!

1:53:391:53:41

# ..Millions of people

1:53:411:53:44

# Swarming like flies round Waterloo underground

1:53:441:53:49

# But Terry and Julie cross over the river

1:53:501:53:55

# Where they feel safe and sound

1:53:551:53:59

# And they don't... #

1:54:001:54:03

We love you, Glastonbury!

1:54:061:54:08

We love you, Glastonbury!

1:54:081:54:10

What you're getting with your ticket is a real special, special thing

1:54:161:54:21

that, almost like Brigadoon...it just exists, like, for four or five days

1:54:211:54:25

and then disappears.

1:54:251:54:26

TRUMPET BLOWS

1:54:261:54:29

When people say that they've survived Glastonbury, I know exactly what they mean.

1:54:461:54:51

There's a sense of achievement about it, because they've got through it.

1:54:511:54:54

And the festival of course, through 35 years...

1:54:541:54:57

we've been quite determined, you know, to survive in the same way.

1:54:571:55:01

When the chips are down, people get on a lot better.

1:55:041:55:07

Yes!

1:55:311:55:33

You can't buy feelings, you can't buy anything worth having.

1:56:041:56:07

If you want something enough, then it actually will happen.

1:56:071:56:11

OK.

1:56:111:56:13

So, if a lanky get like me can do it and this lot,

1:56:141:56:19

you can do it too, all right?

1:56:191:56:21

# She came from Greece She had a thirst for knowledge

1:56:301:56:34

# She studied sculpture at Saint Martins College

1:56:341:56:36

# That's where I

1:56:361:56:38

# Caught her eye

1:56:401:56:41

# She told me that her dad was loaded

1:56:451:56:48

# I said "In that case I'll have a rum and Coca-Cola"

1:56:481:56:51

# She said "Fine"

1:56:511:56:52

# And in 30 seconds' time she said

1:56:541:56:58

# "I wanna live like common people

1:56:581:57:03

# "I wanna do whatever common people do

1:57:031:57:06

# "I wanna sleep with common people

1:57:061:57:10

# "I wanna sleep with common people like you"

1:57:101:57:13

# Well, what else could I do?

1:57:141:57:16

# I said "I'll...

1:57:161:57:18

# "I'll see what I can do"

1:57:181:57:20

# I took her to a supermarket

1:57:231:57:27

# I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere

1:57:271:57:30

# So it started there

1:57:301:57:33

# I said "Pretend you've got no money"

1:57:361:57:40

# But she just laughed and said "Oh, you're so funny"

1:57:401:57:43

# I said "Yeah?

1:57:431:57:45

# "Well, I can't see anyone else smiling in here

1:57:451:57:47

# "Are you sure

1:57:471:57:49

# "You wanna live like common people

1:57:491:57:52

# "You wanna see whatever common people see

1:57:521:57:56

# "You wanna sleep with common people

1:57:561:57:59

# "You wanna sleep with common people like me?"

1:57:591:58:03

# But she didn't understand

1:58:031:58:05

# But she just smiled and held my hand

1:58:051:58:09

# "Rent a flat above a shop

1:58:101:58:13

# "Cut your hair and get a job

1:58:131:58:17

# "Smoke some fags and play some pool

1:58:171:58:20

# "Pretend you never went to school

1:58:201:58:24

# "But still you'll never get it right

1:58:241:58:26

# "Cos when you're laid in bed at night

1:58:261:58:30

# "Watching roaches climb the wall

1:58:301:58:33

# "If you called your dad he could stop it all

1:58:331:58:37

# "You'll never live like common people

1:58:371:58:40

# "You'll never do whatever common people do

1:58:401:58:44

# "You'll never fail like common people

1:58:441:58:46

# "You'll never watch your life slide out of view

1:58:461:58:50

# "And then dance and drink and screw

1:58:501:58:53

# "Because there's nothing else to do"

1:58:531:58:57

# Ow!

1:58:571:58:59

# I wanna live with common people like you

1:59:111:59:14

# I wanna live with common people like you

1:59:141:59:17

# I wanna live with common people like you

1:59:171:59:19

# I wanna live with common people like you

1:59:191:59:22

# I wanna live with common people like you

1:59:221:59:25

# I wanna live with...

1:59:281:59:31

# ..Common people like you

1:59:361:59:38

# Da da da da

1:59:381:59:39

# You Da da da da

1:59:391:59:43

# You Da da da da

1:59:431:59:45

# Oh, yeah. #

1:59:481:59:50

RAPTUROUS APPLAUSE

1:59:501:59:54

One more! Yeah!

1:59:541:59:56

Big Breakfast!

1:59:561:59:57

Big Brother!

1:59:571:59:58

Whoo!

1:59:582:00:00

So it's a survival of good over evil, really,

2:00:002:00:03

which is something that I'm quite... sure about.

2:00:032:00:06

And it does survive.

2:00:062:00:07

It's a bit like New Orleans, you know, goodness does survive over evil...always.

2:00:072:00:13

# You sure you want to be with me?

2:00:512:00:53

# I've nothing to give

2:00:532:00:55

# Won't lie and say this loving's best

2:00:552:00:57

# Leave us in emotional peace

2:00:582:01:00

# Take a walk, taste the rest

2:01:002:01:02

# No, take a rest

2:01:022:01:04

# I see you digging a hole in your neighbourhood

2:01:042:01:07

# You're crazy but you're lazy

2:01:072:01:09

# No need to live in a lean-to

2:01:092:01:10

# Your troubles must be seen to seen to

2:01:102:01:12

# Money like it's paper with faces I remember

2:01:122:01:16

# I drink on a daily basis though it seldom cools my temper

2:01:162:01:19

# It never cools my temper. #

2:01:192:01:20

APPLAUSE

2:01:222:01:24

In 1971, when I first played here,

2:01:252:01:28

I stayed at Worthy Farmhouse

2:01:282:01:31

with a couple of other people.

2:01:312:01:33

Huge bottle of tincture of cannabis from a lovely doctor -

2:01:332:01:37

for medicinal reasons - and got out to the stage about...

2:01:372:01:40

5.30 in the morning.

2:01:402:01:43

This is so cool for us, it really is cool. I've not been here for 30 years.

2:01:432:01:47

And it's fucking great.

2:01:472:01:48

CHEERING

2:01:482:01:50

# And you

2:02:132:02:15

# You will be my queen

2:02:172:02:19

# Though nothing

2:02:222:02:25

# Will drive them away

2:02:252:02:27

# We can be heroes

2:02:312:02:33

# Just for one day

2:02:332:02:36

# We can be heroes

2:02:372:02:41

# For ever and ever

2:02:422:02:44

# I

2:02:472:02:49

-# I can remember

-I remember

2:02:492:02:56

# Standing

2:02:562:02:58

# Standing by the wall

2:02:592:03:01

# By the wall

2:03:012:03:03

# And the guns

2:03:032:03:05

# The guns shot above our heads

2:03:072:03:10

# Over our heads

2:03:102:03:11

# And we kissed

2:03:112:03:13

-# As though nothing could fall

-Nothing could fall

2:03:142:03:19

# And the shame

2:03:192:03:22

# If fell on the other side

2:03:242:03:27

# We'll beat them

2:03:282:03:30

# For ever and ever

2:03:322:03:35

# We can be heroes

2:03:362:03:39

# Just for one day

2:03:402:03:43

# I just say, I say... #

2:03:442:03:46

CROWD CHEERS

2:03:462:03:49

# ..We can be heroes

2:03:492:03:52

# We can be heroes

2:03:582:04:01

# We can be heroes

2:04:052:04:09

# Just for one day

2:04:102:04:13

# We can be heroes

2:04:142:04:16

# We're nothing

2:04:192:04:22

# And no-one will help us

2:04:222:04:24

# Maybe we're lying

2:04:262:04:29

# Then you better not stay

2:04:302:04:32

# We can be safer

2:04:352:04:38

# Just for one day... #

2:04:392:04:44

APPLAUSE

2:04:442:04:46

# ..Oh... #

2:05:092:05:12

Bye-bye, Glastonbury!

2:05:122:05:15

Next year!

2:05:152:05:16

And that fence round the perimeter...rubbish!

2:05:402:05:43

# Easy! Easy! Easy! Easy! #

2:05:432:05:47

Easy...fence.

2:05:472:05:49

-LAUGHTER

-Fuckin' hell!

2:05:572:06:01

And did those feet in ancient times...?

2:06:052:06:08

I'm not sure what William Blake meant,

2:06:082:06:11

but, to bring that up to date, we now have 300,000 feet walking through these pastures

2:06:112:06:16

every year.

2:06:162:06:17

Oh, I think by now, we have a place in history,

2:06:172:06:20

as so many things have happened here

2:06:202:06:22

in the last 35 years.

2:06:222:06:25

And the experience has been quite phenomenal

2:06:252:06:29

from thousands and thousands of people.

2:06:292:06:32

And because of the values that the festival builds itself on,

2:06:322:06:36

people do really believe that they're having a really good time,

2:06:362:06:39

they're having an experience that they can't find anywhere else, so they go away from here...

2:06:392:06:43

exhilarated and...

2:06:432:06:46

and full of hope for the future.

2:06:462:06:49

MUSIC: "Jerusalem" by Hubert Parry

2:06:492:06:53

Bring me my bow of burning gold

2:07:082:07:10

Bring me my arrows of desire

2:07:102:07:13

Bring me my spear, O clouds unfold!

2:07:132:07:17

Bring me my chariot of fire!

2:07:172:07:20

I will not cease from mental fight

2:07:202:07:23

Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand

2:07:232:07:26

Till we have built Jerusalem

2:07:262:07:31

In England's green and pleasant land.
