Glastonbury at 40: From Avalon to Jay-Z

0:00:02 > 0:00:05This programme contains some strong language.

0:00:05 > 0:00:10On the eve of the 40th anniversary of the legendary Glastonbury Festival,

0:00:10 > 0:00:14welcome to a programme that celebrates many of the things we love about the world of Worthy Farm.

0:00:16 > 0:00:21Attempting to impose some sense of order on the unwieldy, it's an alphabetical look back.

0:00:21 > 0:00:25So let's start, literally, at the beginning. But in a mystical way.

0:00:25 > 0:00:26Naturally.

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Get a look at it up close, this is what it looks like!

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Glastonbury has always attracted the pilgrim

0:00:55 > 0:00:59because Glastonbury symbolises the spiritual quest.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03Many of the legends we have, whether we take them literally or not,

0:01:03 > 0:01:06are actually symbolic of man's quest for truth.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10And with the amazing landscape of Glastonbury,

0:01:10 > 0:01:11its ancient history,

0:01:11 > 0:01:16this has always attracted people here to a site of so-called earth energy,

0:01:16 > 0:01:17earth magic.

0:01:24 > 0:01:29The festival, very definitely, is part of an ancient tradition.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32It's one of the most wonderful festivals in Europe,

0:01:32 > 0:01:35and I wouldn't miss it for anything.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38CHEERING

0:01:40 > 0:01:41# I sit and wait

0:01:43 > 0:01:45# Does an angel

0:01:45 > 0:01:49# Contemplate my fate

0:01:49 > 0:01:50If you must!

0:01:52 > 0:01:53# And do they know

0:01:55 > 0:01:57# The places where we go

0:01:57 > 0:02:01# When you're grey and old

0:02:04 > 0:02:08# Cos I've been told

0:02:08 > 0:02:15# That salvation Lets their wings unfold

0:02:17 > 0:02:24# So when I'm lying in my bed Thoughts running through my head

0:02:24 > 0:02:28# And I feel that love is dead

0:02:28 > 0:02:33# I'm loving angels instead

0:02:33 > 0:02:39CROWD: # And through it all She offers me protection

0:02:39 > 0:02:45# A lot of love and affection Whether I'm right or wrong

0:02:45 > 0:02:52# And down the waterfall Wherever it may take me

0:02:52 > 0:02:55# I know that life won't break me

0:02:55 > 0:03:02# When I come to call She won't forsake me

0:03:04 > 0:03:07# I'm loving angels instead

0:03:10 > 0:03:12# When I'm feeling weak

0:03:12 > 0:03:18# And my pain walks down a one-way street

0:03:22 > 0:03:25# I look above

0:03:25 > 0:03:31# And I know I'll always be blessed with love

0:03:35 > 0:03:41# And as the feeling grows She breathes flesh to my bones

0:03:41 > 0:03:49- # And when love is dead - I'm loving angels instead

0:03:49 > 0:03:56# And through it all She offers me protection

0:03:56 > 0:03:59# A lot of love and affection

0:03:59 > 0:04:02# Whether I'm right or wrong

0:04:02 > 0:04:09- # And down the waterfall - Wherever it may take me

0:04:09 > 0:04:12# I know that life won't break me

0:04:12 > 0:04:18# When I come to call She won't forsake me

0:04:18 > 0:04:20What are we doing?

0:04:20 > 0:04:24# I'm loving angels instead

0:04:25 > 0:04:28GUITAR SOLO

0:05:13 > 0:05:19# And through it all She offers me protection

0:05:19 > 0:05:25# A lot of love and affection Whether I'm right or wrong

0:05:48 > 0:05:52CHEERING

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Thank you, goodnight! I've been Robbie Williams.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15Alongside Michael Eavis, the granddaughter of Sir Winston, Arabella Churchill,

0:06:15 > 0:06:18was central in creating the theatre and kids worlds of the festival,

0:06:18 > 0:06:23which, for some, are more important than what's happening on the music stages.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26Sadly, she died in 2008.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28But her legacy lives on at Worthy Farm.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30We're opening here in about 25 hours.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33And I know it looks like we wont make it, but we will.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38I was personal assistant to Randolph Churchill,

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Sir Winston Churchill's only son.

0:06:40 > 0:06:45And Arabella was about eight when I first met Randolph in 1957.

0:06:45 > 0:06:50Basically, Andrew Carr, who used to work for my father, went down to the farm

0:06:50 > 0:06:53and decided he was going to run a free festival.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55She came down when she was about 19-20

0:06:55 > 0:07:00and she was a bit of a debutante figure, got into the flower power thing.

0:07:00 > 0:07:05And so she turned up with some money to help and she's been around here ever since.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08- And you stayed, didn't you? - I didn't go anywhere at all.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Made it your home, that was it. - Yeah.- That's great.

0:07:11 > 0:07:15You've influenced my life a lot. Wouldn't have got married without you!

0:07:16 > 0:07:19If it hadn't been for Arabella, there would be no festival.

0:07:19 > 0:07:23She's, with Michael, the most important person in the festival.

0:07:23 > 0:07:27I wouldn't want to be involved in just a music festival.

0:07:27 > 0:07:31There are a lot of people there who have never been to a theatre in their life

0:07:31 > 0:07:35and they're suddenly exposed to real art. It's great for anybody from 8 to 108.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40Yeah, I like fire. Night-night.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44CHEERING

0:07:57 > 0:07:59# Woo-hoo

0:08:04 > 0:08:06# By a jumbo jet

0:08:08 > 0:08:09# It wasn't easy

0:08:11 > 0:08:14# But nothing is

0:08:14 > 0:08:15# No

0:08:15 > 0:08:17# Woo-hoo

0:08:21 > 0:08:23# Woo-hoo

0:08:30 > 0:08:32# Pleased to meet you

0:08:38 > 0:08:40# I got my head done

0:09:20 > 0:09:21# Oh, yeah. #

0:09:21 > 0:09:25CHEERING

0:09:28 > 0:09:31One of the stalwarts in Glastonbury over the years

0:09:31 > 0:09:34is the bard of Barking, latterly Dorsett, Billy Bragg

0:09:34 > 0:09:38who once famously punctured rock star hubris and preserved the festival ethos

0:09:38 > 0:09:44by passing water in a Portaloo reserved for the exclusive use of the Manic Street Preachers.

0:09:44 > 0:09:49Suitably relieved, Billy regularly performs and hosts shows all over the site.

0:09:49 > 0:09:53But back in 2000, he accompanied the then editor of the Spectator,

0:09:53 > 0:09:59Boris Johnson, to his very first Glastonbury in a sort of "living with the enemy" experiment.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01It's just gone 10 o'clock in the morning

0:10:01 > 0:10:03on the Friday of Glastonbury festival

0:10:03 > 0:10:05and I'm at Castle Cary railway station,

0:10:05 > 0:10:07awaiting the arrival of Boris Johnson.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15- He's still on a train, my mate knows him.- He's still on a train?

0:10:15 > 0:10:18- In the first class he was, was he? - Coach H, yeah.

0:10:18 > 0:10:19- He didn't get off?- No.

0:10:19 > 0:10:24He's laughing! Little boy's chuckle "Ho, ho, ho, I forgot to get off."

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Hi!

0:10:28 > 0:10:29I'm sorry I'm late.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31- Boris.- How you doing? - Welcome to Castle Cary, mate.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34- What happened?- I think I must have been in a trance.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40- Shepton Mallet, my brother used to go to Shepton Mallet every year. - What to do?

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Maybe it was Glastonbury he used to go to.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44You wont keep saying that, will you?

0:10:44 > 0:10:46What?

0:10:46 > 0:10:48- (IMITATES BORIS) Glastonbury. - Is it about...

0:10:48 > 0:10:53- You've got to say Glastonbury. - Is it Glastonbury or Glass-tonbury? - It depends where you come from.

0:10:53 > 0:10:58- Perhaps you can clear this up. Is it called...- What do you say, do you think Glastonbury or Glass-tonbury?

0:10:58 > 0:11:01- Glastonbury.- Glastonbury.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04Glass-tonbury is a hunting, shooting, fishing brigade.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Oh, Christ.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17Oh, bloody hell, I'm surrounded by nudists now.

0:11:17 > 0:11:22- This is Richard. - Yeah, yeah, hi. Hi, Richard, how you doing?

0:11:22 > 0:11:24I fully support your right to be naked.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27- I'm right behind it.- Boris, have you ever gone naked anywhere?

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Yeah, I used to, yeah.

0:11:29 > 0:11:30At home, on the farm.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35Boris, I wanted to bring you up here because this is the stone circle field.

0:11:35 > 0:11:39Let's look at the economics of this. We've got 120,000 people here,

0:11:39 > 0:11:43they're paying £87 a head for three days.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46- That is...- He jumps over the wall.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49He's an entrepreneur, he's an honest entrepreneur.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52- He's a free...he's what? - She's a worker.- She's a worker.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Did you pay for your ticket?

0:11:54 > 0:11:56I'm just boondoggling off the BBC.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59This is a capitalist extravaganza!

0:11:59 > 0:12:02A feast of humbug and hypocrisy, where lefties like Billy Bragg

0:12:02 > 0:12:05pretend they're doing it for the good of the people...

0:12:05 > 0:12:09When Boris says the words "humbug" and "hypocrisy" it's time to switch off.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11He's gone off the deep end, he's far off the deep end.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15- This is Billy Bragg and Boris Johnson reporting from Glastonbury.- Glass-tonbury!

0:12:15 > 0:12:19CHEERING

0:12:31 > 0:12:35# In the day we sweat it out on the streets

0:12:35 > 0:12:37# Of a runaway American dream

0:12:39 > 0:12:42# At night we ride Through mansions of glory

0:12:42 > 0:12:45# In suicide machines

0:12:46 > 0:12:49# Sprung from cages on highway 9

0:12:49 > 0:12:54# Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and steppin' out over the line

0:12:55 > 0:12:57# O-oh

0:12:57 > 0:13:00# Baby this town rips the bones from your back

0:13:00 > 0:13:04# It's a death trap It's a suicide rap

0:13:04 > 0:13:07# We gotta get out while we're young

0:13:07 > 0:13:13# Cos tramps like us Baby, we were born to run

0:13:24 > 0:13:28# Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend

0:13:28 > 0:13:30# I want to guard your Dreams and visions

0:13:32 > 0:13:35# Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet ribs

0:13:35 > 0:13:38# And strap your hands across my engines

0:13:39 > 0:13:41# Together we could break this trap

0:13:43 > 0:13:47# We'll run till we drop Baby, we'll never go back

0:13:48 > 0:13:50# Wo-oah

0:13:50 > 0:13:52# Walk with me Out on the wire

0:13:53 > 0:13:56# Cos, baby, I'm just a scared and lonely rider

0:13:56 > 0:13:59# But I gotta find out how it feels

0:14:00 > 0:14:02# I want to know if love is wild

0:14:02 > 0:14:05# I want to know if love is real

0:14:39 > 0:14:44# Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard

0:14:46 > 0:14:49# The girls comb their hair in rear-view mirrors

0:14:49 > 0:14:52# And the boys try to look so hard

0:14:53 > 0:14:56# The amusement park rises bold and stark

0:14:56 > 0:14:59# Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist

0:15:00 > 0:15:03# I wanna die with you, Wendy on the streets tonight

0:15:03 > 0:15:06# In an everlasting kiss

0:16:10 > 0:16:111, 2, 3!

0:16:11 > 0:16:15# The highway's jammed with broken heroes

0:16:15 > 0:16:18# On a last chance power drive

0:16:19 > 0:16:21# Everybody's out on the run tonight

0:16:21 > 0:16:24# But there's no place left to hide

0:16:26 > 0:16:29# Together, Wendy we can live with the sadness

0:16:29 > 0:16:34# I'll love you with all the madness in my soul

0:16:37 > 0:16:40# Someday, girl, I don't know when

0:16:40 > 0:16:42# We're gonna get to that place

0:16:42 > 0:16:43# Where we really want to go

0:16:43 > 0:16:46# And we'll walk in the sun

0:16:46 > 0:16:53# But till then tramps like us Baby, we were born to run

0:16:54 > 0:16:59# Tramps like us Baby, we were born to run

0:17:01 > 0:17:06# Tramps like us Baby, we were born to run

0:17:07 > 0:17:10# Oooh, ooh

0:17:12 > 0:17:13# Oooh, ooh

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Glastonbury!

0:17:54 > 0:17:58CHEERING

0:18:00 > 0:18:05CHEERING

0:18:07 > 0:18:10It's wonderful for them because they're all given free tickets

0:18:10 > 0:18:13and they can go and watch any show they want.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15Maybe they go to the seaside.

0:18:15 > 0:18:16They go and chill out somewhere.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18Maybe they go swimming.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21I don't think they put 'em on a train! I would say to the farm next door.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Maybe they join in and we don't see them.

0:18:23 > 0:18:28I think the vibrations from the bass helps them in their milkingness.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32Maybe they make a new type of yoghurt, Glastonbury yoghurt.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34I don't know what they do with all the cows.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36Maybe they're not cows, maybe they're human.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39The cows are still there, they're dressed up as people.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43They go to the houses of the kids who come to Glastonbury and stay with their parents.

0:18:43 > 0:18:44Maybe they're aliens!

0:18:44 > 0:18:47- I would expect that the cows don't like Glastonbury very much. - I should shut up!

0:18:50 > 0:18:53It might, though quite possibly might not amuse you to know

0:18:53 > 0:18:58that the building the 300 dairy cows of Worthy Farm are kept in over the festival period

0:18:58 > 0:19:00is called the moo-tel.

0:19:00 > 0:19:01You see what they did there?

0:19:09 > 0:19:11# She came from Greece

0:19:11 > 0:19:13# She had a thirst for knowledge

0:19:13 > 0:19:14# She studied sculpture

0:19:14 > 0:19:16# At Saint Martin's College

0:19:16 > 0:19:17# That's where I...

0:19:18 > 0:19:20# ..caught her eye

0:19:23 > 0:19:25# She told me

0:19:25 > 0:19:27# That her dad was loaded

0:19:27 > 0:19:28# I said in that case

0:19:28 > 0:19:30# I'll have a rum and Coca-Cola

0:19:30 > 0:19:32# She said fine

0:19:34 > 0:19:36# And then in 30 seconds' time

0:19:36 > 0:19:38# She said...

0:19:38 > 0:19:41# I want to live like common people

0:19:41 > 0:19:43# I want to do

0:19:43 > 0:19:45# Whatever common people do

0:19:45 > 0:19:48# I want to sleep with common people

0:19:48 > 0:19:50# I want to sleep

0:19:50 > 0:19:52# With common people, like you

0:19:52 > 0:19:56# Well, what else could I do?

0:19:56 > 0:19:59# I said, I'll see what I can do

0:20:03 > 0:20:06# I took her to a supermarket

0:20:06 > 0:20:07# I don't know why

0:20:07 > 0:20:09# But I had to start it somewhere

0:20:11 > 0:20:13# So it started there

0:20:16 > 0:20:17# I said

0:20:17 > 0:20:19# Pretend you've got no money

0:20:19 > 0:20:21# She just laughed and said

0:20:21 > 0:20:22# Oh, you're so funny

0:20:22 > 0:20:23# I said, Yeah

0:20:23 > 0:20:25# Well, I can't see anyone else

0:20:25 > 0:20:26# Smiling in here

0:20:26 > 0:20:28# Are you sure

0:20:28 > 0:20:30# You want to live

0:20:30 > 0:20:32# Like common people

0:20:32 > 0:20:33# You want to see

0:20:33 > 0:20:35# Whatever common people see

0:20:35 > 0:20:38# You want to sleep with common people

0:20:38 > 0:20:42# You want to sleep with common people, like me

0:20:42 > 0:20:45# But she didn't understand

0:20:45 > 0:20:49# She just smiled and held my hand

0:20:51 > 0:20:54# Rent a flat above a shop

0:20:54 > 0:20:57# Cut your hair and get a job

0:20:57 > 0:21:00# Smoke some fags and play some pool

0:21:00 > 0:21:04# Pretend you never went to school

0:21:04 > 0:21:06# But still you'll never get it right

0:21:06 > 0:21:09# Cos when you're laid in bed at night

0:21:09 > 0:21:12# Watching roaches climb the wall

0:21:12 > 0:21:14# If you called your dad

0:21:14 > 0:21:16# He could stop it all, yeah

0:21:16 > 0:21:17# You'll never live

0:21:17 > 0:21:19# Like common people

0:21:19 > 0:21:20# You'll never do

0:21:20 > 0:21:24# What common people do

0:21:24 > 0:21:27# You'll never fail like common people

0:21:27 > 0:21:29# You'll never watch your life Slide out of view

0:21:29 > 0:21:32# And dance and drink and screw

0:21:32 > 0:21:35# Because there's nothing else to do

0:22:02 > 0:22:05# Sing along with the common people

0:22:05 > 0:22:08# Sing along and it might just Get you through

0:22:08 > 0:22:11# Laugh along with the common people

0:22:11 > 0:22:16# Laugh along even though They're laughing at you

0:22:16 > 0:22:18# And the stupid things that you do

0:22:18 > 0:22:22# Because you think that poor is cool

0:22:24 > 0:22:27# Like a dog lying in a corner

0:22:27 > 0:22:30# They will bite you and never warn you

0:22:30 > 0:22:32# Look out

0:22:32 > 0:22:34# They'll tear your insides out

0:22:36 > 0:22:39# 'Cos everybody hates a tourist

0:22:40 > 0:22:43# Especially one that Thinks it's all such a laugh

0:22:45 > 0:22:49# Yeah and the chip stain's grease will come out in the bath

0:22:49 > 0:22:51# You will never understand

0:22:51 > 0:22:54# How it feels to live your life

0:22:54 > 0:22:57# With no meaning or control

0:22:57 > 0:23:00# And with nowhere left to go

0:23:00 > 0:23:05# You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright

0:23:05 > 0:23:09# Whilst you can only wonder why

0:26:04 > 0:26:09I saw two people this morning going under the name of acrobats,

0:26:09 > 0:26:12but you know me, Jonathan, I don't hold with all that clamouring about.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15MONKEY CRIES

0:26:23 > 0:26:25# I've been keeping my eyes on your movements

0:26:42 > 0:26:43# I wanna take this

0:26:43 > 0:26:44# Further than the dance floor

0:26:44 > 0:26:45# I ain't forceful

0:26:45 > 0:26:46# But I'm still hardcore

0:26:46 > 0:26:49# You're gonna give me Everything I ask for

0:26:49 > 0:26:50# It's not a long ting

0:26:50 > 0:26:51# You're the boom ting

0:27:21 > 0:27:22# If I'm out on a date

0:27:22 > 0:27:24# Then I just shut my eyes

0:27:24 > 0:27:25# Then I can see

0:27:25 > 0:27:27# Get away from the bar

0:27:42 > 0:27:44# Cos I've been waiting For this moment all night long

0:27:44 > 0:27:46# So I creep, creep, creep Back to your seat

0:27:46 > 0:27:49# I've got my left eye Checking out the scenery

0:27:49 > 0:27:51# And my right eye Right where it needs to be

0:27:51 > 0:27:52# No matter how I look at it

0:27:52 > 0:27:53# You look good to me

0:27:53 > 0:27:56# Still, I'm looking for The perfect view

0:27:56 > 0:27:58# The way I see it That's right next to you

0:27:58 > 0:28:00# I know you probably heard it before

0:28:00 > 0:28:03# But still I love it When you flex like that for real

0:28:03 > 0:28:05# So don't start doing what you do When you do it

0:28:05 > 0:28:08# I just wanna be a part of it When you do it

0:28:08 > 0:28:10# I feel like a wally If I don't just do it

0:28:31 > 0:28:33# I know you didn't come out To stand and stare

0:29:40 > 0:29:42# And dance with me. #

0:29:42 > 0:29:45APPLAUSE

0:29:48 > 0:29:54The full wonder, spectacle and scale of the festival site can be perhaps best appreciated from the air.

0:29:54 > 0:29:58And though some may think it's a privilege to hover aloft in a helicopter,

0:29:58 > 0:30:02I can tell you it's often a stomach churning, nausea inducing experience.

0:30:02 > 0:30:08You might imagine, therefore, that manning this plucky mission would be decided by rota,

0:30:08 > 0:30:09pun sort of intended.

0:30:09 > 0:30:13However, due to a succession of feeble excuses, from my various co-presenters,

0:30:13 > 0:30:16such as "pregnancy" and being too big to fit into the cockpit,

0:30:16 > 0:30:20it is muggins here who keeps getting sent up there.

0:30:20 > 0:30:24Hmm...unless they're anxious to get me out of the way for a while...

0:30:25 > 0:30:32Many ceremonial processions have come in from Glastonbury tour into the site, down the centuries.

0:30:32 > 0:30:37No more important than the ceremonial procession that took place this morning

0:30:37 > 0:30:38as Dame Shirley Bassey herself

0:30:38 > 0:30:42touched down on the hallowed ground of Glastonbury.

0:30:42 > 0:30:44CHEERING

0:30:56 > 0:30:58# The minute you walked in the joint

0:31:00 > 0:31:03# I could see you were a man of distinction

0:31:03 > 0:31:06# A real big spender

0:31:06 > 0:31:09# Good looking, so refined

0:31:09 > 0:31:13# Say wouldn't you like to know what's going on in my mind

0:31:13 > 0:31:15# So let me get right to the point

0:31:16 > 0:31:20# I don't pop my cork for every man I see

0:31:22 > 0:31:23# Hey, big spender

0:31:26 > 0:31:28# Spend

0:31:28 > 0:31:30# A little time with me

0:31:37 > 0:31:41# Wouldn't you like to have fun, fun, fun

0:31:41 > 0:31:45# How's about a few laughs, laughs...

0:31:45 > 0:31:46# I could show you a

0:31:47 > 0:31:48# Good time

0:31:49 > 0:31:51# Let me show you a

0:31:52 > 0:31:53# Good time

0:31:54 > 0:31:57# The minute you walked in the joint

0:31:57 > 0:32:00# I could see you were a man of distinction

0:32:00 > 0:32:04# A real big spender

0:32:04 > 0:32:06# Good looking, so refined

0:32:06 > 0:32:11# Say wouldn't you like to know what's going on in my mind

0:32:11 > 0:32:13# So let me get right to the point

0:32:13 > 0:32:19# I don't pop my cork for every man I see

0:32:19 > 0:32:21# Hey, big spender

0:32:23 > 0:32:25# Hey, big spender

0:32:27 > 0:32:31# Hey, big spender

0:32:31 > 0:32:34# Spend

0:32:34 > 0:32:42# A little time with me. #

0:32:44 > 0:32:47CHEERING

0:32:51 > 0:32:57Oh, fabulous. My first time, and I can understand why everybody comes here.

0:32:57 > 0:32:58I will come again.

0:33:01 > 0:33:04E, in our decidedly non-mystical A to Z format,

0:33:04 > 0:33:06stands for Eavis, of course.

0:33:06 > 0:33:11And though you'll see plenty of the genial Glasto grandee, Michael, in this programme,

0:33:11 > 0:33:16E also represents the next generation in his youngest daughter, Emily.

0:33:17 > 0:33:19I was born here

0:33:19 > 0:33:2018 years ago.

0:33:20 > 0:33:23And the festival has been going on for 28 years so

0:33:23 > 0:33:25they were well in the swing of it by the time I arrived.

0:33:25 > 0:33:27I love the festival.

0:33:27 > 0:33:29I do love it.

0:33:29 > 0:33:35But I do get that really sick feeling on the Thursday and Friday when people are walking in.

0:33:35 > 0:33:40I do feel kind of like, "Oh, my God", you know, "This is it."

0:33:40 > 0:33:42Let's just hope nothing goes wrong.

0:33:42 > 0:33:48I used to hate the festival, I haven't loved it all my life. When I was 3, 4, 5 and 6,

0:33:48 > 0:33:53I used to shout. My dad used to take me round in the Land Rover

0:33:53 > 0:33:56and I used to kind of shout out the window and say,

0:33:56 > 0:33:59"Why don't you just go away, back to your own gardens?"

0:33:59 > 0:34:02And "What are you doing here?"

0:34:02 > 0:34:09In 2007, the festival expanded and Emily was given her first stage to programme and manage.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11They named it The Park.

0:34:14 > 0:34:21The Park here is originally my great, great, great, great grandparents' home.

0:34:21 > 0:34:24It feels like almost a kind of full circle thing,

0:34:24 > 0:34:29but it's a brilliant opportunity, to be able to put something down on the site

0:34:29 > 0:34:33and have a vision about it.

0:34:33 > 0:34:37It's looking into the future, as well. We've just got a four year license and this is part of it.

0:34:37 > 0:34:39It's just really exciting.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44# What made me behave that way

0:34:47 > 0:34:50# Using words I never say

0:34:52 > 0:34:56# I can only think it must be love

0:34:58 > 0:35:01# Well, anyway

0:35:01 > 0:35:05# It's looking like a beautiful day

0:35:10 > 0:35:14# Someone tell me how I feel

0:35:16 > 0:35:20# It is silly wrong but vivid right

0:35:22 > 0:35:26# Oh, kiss me like the final meal

0:35:27 > 0:35:33# Yeah, kiss me like we die tonight

0:35:33 > 0:35:38# Cos holy cow I love your eyes

0:35:39 > 0:35:43# And only now I see the light

0:35:45 > 0:35:48# Oh, lying with you half awake

0:35:48 > 0:35:54# Stumbling over what to say Well anyway

0:35:54 > 0:36:00# It's looking like a beautiful day

0:36:09 > 0:36:12# When my face is chamois-creased

0:36:15 > 0:36:18# If you think I'll wink, I did

0:36:20 > 0:36:24# Laugh politely at repeats

0:36:26 > 0:36:29# Yeah, kiss me when my lips are thin

0:36:32 > 0:36:36# Cos holy cow I love your eyes

0:36:38 > 0:36:41# And only now I see the light

0:36:44 > 0:36:47# Yeah, lying with you half awake

0:36:47 > 0:36:52# Stumbling over what to say Well anyway

0:36:52 > 0:36:57# It's looking like a beautiful day

0:37:02 > 0:37:03Are you ready, Glastonbury?

0:37:03 > 0:37:06CHEERING

0:37:07 > 0:37:12# So throw those curtains wide

0:37:12 > 0:37:17# One day like this a year'd see me right

0:37:31 > 0:37:36# Throw those curtains wide

0:37:36 > 0:37:41# One day like this a year'd see me right

0:37:41 > 0:37:42# For life

0:37:47 > 0:37:53# One day like this a year'd see me right

0:38:00 > 0:38:06# And only now I see the light

0:38:06 > 0:38:11# Holy cow I love your eyes

0:39:38 > 0:39:43# Sitting on a fence is a man who Looks up to his guardian...#

0:39:43 > 0:39:47This is the epicentre for all things security at Glastonbury.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50These people are responsible for the famous Glasto fence

0:39:50 > 0:39:56that stands at 15ft, runs for 5 miles and was purpose built for this festival over 2 months.

0:39:56 > 0:40:00There are watchmen all over the camp and there's 15 watchtowers,

0:40:00 > 0:40:02but is it working? Let's find out.

0:40:03 > 0:40:05It's make or break for the festival.

0:40:05 > 0:40:09If we go back to 2000, it's been no secret that history shows

0:40:09 > 0:40:12there's been more and more people coming on to the site.

0:40:12 > 0:40:14The fence was down for long periods of time,

0:40:14 > 0:40:18there were many more people than should have been included in the license.

0:40:18 > 0:40:23And therefore, we had to do something this time to make sure we kept to the numbers on the license.

0:40:23 > 0:40:27This is a major, major success story for us, a staggering success.

0:40:27 > 0:40:34The marketing strategy, "Don't come without a ticket," because this, because that, because whatever,

0:40:34 > 0:40:40The moral argument, the charitable argument. As you say, the fence is a big, big subject this year.

0:40:40 > 0:40:43It's actually worked, people have believed us.

0:40:43 > 0:40:47It's a nightmare! Usually I'm over the fence by now!

0:40:47 > 0:40:49We'll be in there after, that's all that matters.

0:40:49 > 0:40:52I'll find my own way in. Touch wood.

0:40:55 > 0:40:58You seeing this? Get it all on camera.

0:40:58 > 0:41:01Obviously there's a lot less people now, with security being tight.

0:41:01 > 0:41:05DO you feel Glastonbury has lost anything? It's still magical being about all day,

0:41:05 > 0:41:08do you feel anything has been taken off?

0:41:08 > 0:41:15I think there's a possibility that that, sort of, pulse may sort of slow down a bit.

0:41:15 > 0:41:20When it was full like last time, when lots of youngsters came in without tickets

0:41:20 > 0:41:22they were quite good fun.

0:41:22 > 0:41:27Sometimes you used to come up here and it'd be a free for all and a bit intimidating,

0:41:27 > 0:41:33you'd bring out your girlfriend and things like that, so this year it's much more relaxed so far, yeah.

0:41:33 > 0:41:37One person got over it today because a whole crowd of people actually bunked one up

0:41:37 > 0:41:38and he went over.

0:41:38 > 0:41:46And because his friends were dispersed by these people, he felt lonely and climbed out again.

0:41:51 > 0:41:56It was exactly 20 years ago that the Green Fields started on this site.

0:41:56 > 0:42:02It came from the Green Gatherings, which was an ecological movement

0:42:02 > 0:42:05that started in the 70s, I suppose.

0:42:05 > 0:42:08It was a very political time, the early 80s,

0:42:08 > 0:42:13and we were all passionately trying to raise awareness.

0:42:13 > 0:42:18Michael kindly gave us a field for the first Green Field.

0:42:18 > 0:42:23Apart from adding an enormous amount of creativity,

0:42:23 > 0:42:27it allows people to discover what is in them.

0:42:27 > 0:42:31When I come into the Green Fields, I suddenly feel, ahh...

0:42:36 > 0:42:39Homeopaths, herbalists.

0:42:39 > 0:42:41Good morning, Captain Banana.

0:42:41 > 0:42:42This is the element garden.

0:42:42 > 0:42:49We've even done a special pit for the earth, so that you can really get close up and connected with it.

0:42:49 > 0:42:52You can get a Thai massage, spiritual healing,

0:42:52 > 0:42:55or you can simply sit and chill to a little bit of music.

0:42:57 > 0:43:01The message is still the same. That this planet is very precious,

0:43:01 > 0:43:06we have to protect its resources, and we have to care for each other.

0:43:10 > 0:43:14# You...you can be mean

0:43:17 > 0:43:22# But I, I'll drink all the time

0:43:26 > 0:43:27# Cos we're lovers

0:43:29 > 0:43:31# And that is a fact

0:43:34 > 0:43:35# Yes we're lovers

0:43:38 > 0:43:39# And that is that

0:43:43 > 0:43:44# Oh, nothing

0:43:46 > 0:43:48# Will drive them away

0:43:51 > 0:43:52# We can beat them

0:43:54 > 0:43:56# For ever and ever

0:43:59 > 0:44:00# We can be heroes

0:44:03 > 0:44:05# Just for one day

0:44:07 > 0:44:08# What d'you say?

0:44:25 > 0:44:26# I...

0:44:27 > 0:44:29# Well I wish I could swim

0:44:33 > 0:44:34# Like dolphins

0:44:36 > 0:44:38# Like dolphins can swim

0:44:41 > 0:44:42# Oh nothing

0:44:44 > 0:44:46# Will keep us together

0:44:49 > 0:44:51# We can beat them

0:44:53 > 0:44:55# For ever and ever

0:44:57 > 0:44:59# We can be heroes

0:45:01 > 0:45:02# Just for one day

0:45:05 > 0:45:06# What d'you say?

0:45:23 > 0:45:24# And, boy

0:45:26 > 0:45:28# I could be king

0:45:31 > 0:45:32# And you

0:45:35 > 0:45:36# You would be my queen

0:45:40 > 0:45:41# Though nothing

0:45:43 > 0:45:45# Would drive them away

0:45:48 > 0:45:50# We could beat them

0:45:51 > 0:45:53# Just for one day

0:45:56 > 0:45:57# We can be heroes

0:46:00 > 0:46:01# For ever and ever

0:46:05 > 0:46:07# Boy

0:46:08 > 0:46:10# I can remember

0:46:10 > 0:46:13# I remember

0:46:13 > 0:46:15# Standing

0:46:16 > 0:46:18# Standing by the wall

0:46:18 > 0:46:21# By the wall

0:46:21 > 0:46:22# And the guns

0:46:25 > 0:46:27# The guns shot above our heads

0:46:27 > 0:46:29# Over our heads

0:46:29 > 0:46:31# And we kissed

0:46:32 > 0:46:35# As though nothing could fall

0:46:35 > 0:46:37# Nothing could fall

0:46:37 > 0:46:39# And the shame

0:46:41 > 0:46:44# It fell on the other side

0:46:46 > 0:46:48# We can beat them

0:46:49 > 0:46:52# For ever and ever

0:46:54 > 0:46:56# We can be heroes

0:46:58 > 0:47:00# Just for one day

0:47:02 > 0:47:03# What d'you say? I say

0:47:07 > 0:47:09# We can be heroes

0:47:15 > 0:47:17# We can be heroes

0:47:23 > 0:47:25# We can be heroes

0:47:27 > 0:47:29# Just for one day

0:47:31 > 0:47:34# We can be heroes

0:47:36 > 0:47:38# Though nothing

0:47:40 > 0:47:42# And no one will help us

0:47:44 > 0:47:47# Maybe we're lying

0:47:48 > 0:47:50# Then you'd better not stay

0:47:52 > 0:47:54# But we can be safer

0:47:57 > 0:47:59# Just for one day... #

0:47:59 > 0:48:04APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:48:09 > 0:48:12# ..Oh-oh oh-oh

0:48:17 > 0:48:20# Oh-oh oh-oh

0:48:26 > 0:48:29# Oh-oh oh-oh

0:48:33 > 0:48:37# Oh-oh oh-oh

0:48:41 > 0:48:44APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:48:55 > 0:48:57Glastonbury's hippy roots are still much in evidence today

0:48:57 > 0:49:00and key to the event's unique atmosphere.

0:49:00 > 0:49:03Someone who knows all about that is an outdoor type

0:49:03 > 0:49:09who often planned ahead and carried a lit primer stove on his head, who played the first Glastonbury.

0:49:09 > 0:49:11I came to the first Glastonbury Fair...

0:49:11 > 0:49:18# Noo-o-obody's here to help you now. #

0:49:18 > 0:49:25It was a sort of culmination of the whole underground current that had happened during the 60s.

0:49:25 > 0:49:29Why I liked performing at the Avalon area is because that's got more of the atmosphere

0:49:29 > 0:49:30of the original one.

0:49:30 > 0:49:33I am the god of hellfire!

0:49:33 > 0:49:36And I bring you...

0:49:36 > 0:49:37# Fire

0:49:39 > 0:49:40# I'll teach you to burn. #

0:49:40 > 0:49:44The original festival was really a community feeling.

0:49:44 > 0:49:51There were people wandering around naked, which was lovely, even the church guy said,

0:49:51 > 0:49:55"Well, I could find nothing against it. They were just innocent people being naked."

0:49:55 > 0:50:03Woo! I got mother, and I can be insane in this world, yahoo!

0:50:03 > 0:50:07The original festival was really a community feeling.

0:50:07 > 0:50:11A community of people who were willing to let go

0:50:11 > 0:50:16of their normal preconceptions of life and just live in a way

0:50:16 > 0:50:21that was very experimental for the duration of the festival.

0:50:21 > 0:50:23Yeeeee-oow!

0:50:24 > 0:50:25Woah!

0:50:27 > 0:50:28Come on!

0:50:38 > 0:50:39Yeah!

0:50:44 > 0:50:48# I'm so messed up I want you here

0:50:51 > 0:50:54# In my room I want you here

0:50:58 > 0:51:01# Now we're gonna be face-to-face

0:51:05 > 0:51:08# And I'll lay right down In my favourite place

0:51:12 > 0:51:13# Now I wanna

0:51:38 > 0:51:39# Come on, baby

0:51:46 > 0:51:49# Now I'm ready to close my eyes

0:51:52 > 0:51:56# Now I'm, I'm ready to close my mind

0:51:59 > 0:52:02# Now I'm ready to feel your hand

0:52:06 > 0:52:09# And lose my heart On the burning sands

0:52:13 > 0:52:16# Now I wanna be your dog

0:52:19 > 0:52:23# Now I wanna be your dog

0:54:26 > 0:54:28# What up? Come on!

0:54:28 > 0:54:32CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:54:41 > 0:54:42Woo!

0:54:42 > 0:54:45CHEERING

0:54:45 > 0:54:47This ain't right, Mr camera.

0:54:47 > 0:54:49J is all about two men.

0:54:49 > 0:54:54Both sorely missed, but forever remembered at Worthy Farm. John Peel loved Glastonbury,

0:54:54 > 0:54:58though it didn't stop him getting grumpy from time to time.

0:54:58 > 0:55:03But first, a man who was in his element sitting by a camp fire, wearing a big, straw festival hat.

0:55:03 > 0:55:06Joe was a man of the heart and of the soul.

0:55:06 > 0:55:07And of poetry

0:55:07 > 0:55:11and he was opposed to any injustice, and that's basically what he was.

0:55:11 > 0:55:15Festivals, like, it's one of my favourite things to do,

0:55:15 > 0:55:19and I'm always thinking, "This is not meaningless."

0:55:19 > 0:55:22Joe really wasn't stuck back in '77,

0:55:22 > 0:55:25he was always actively looking for ways forward.

0:55:25 > 0:55:28Joe did embody something essential about Glastonbury.

0:55:28 > 0:55:33Even if you didn't see him at Glastonbury, you kind of got a vibe of him.

0:55:35 > 0:55:39We all went to Joe's funeral,

0:55:39 > 0:55:44and I saw the family there and Joe's wife, Lucinda, suggested they should do something on the farm.

0:55:44 > 0:55:49So we went down into the Lost Vagueness fields, which is where he spent a lot of time,

0:55:49 > 0:55:54and we found a nice little corner in the farm there, full of bluebells and woods and things,

0:55:54 > 0:55:56and we decided to put the stone there.

0:55:56 > 0:56:01Here is the major effect of Glastonbury, and I've been coming for 20 years,

0:56:01 > 0:56:03and only realised it about 2 days ago.

0:56:03 > 0:56:06It's inspiration.

0:56:06 > 0:56:10# Midnight to six man

0:56:10 > 0:56:14# First time from Jamaica

0:56:15 > 0:56:20# Dillinger and Leroy Smart

0:56:20 > 0:56:23# Delroy Wilson, your cool operator

0:56:38 > 0:56:41# There's many black ears Here to listen

0:56:42 > 0:56:45# But it was Four Tops all night

0:56:45 > 0:56:47# With encores from stage right

0:58:11 > 0:58:15# They won't notice anyway

0:58:16 > 0:58:20# All too busy fighting

0:58:25 > 0:58:30# New groups are not concerned

0:58:30 > 0:58:33# With what there is to be learned

0:58:35 > 0:58:39# All in suits And they think it's funny

0:58:39 > 0:58:43# Turning rebellion into money

0:58:44 > 0:58:48# All over people change their votes

0:58:48 > 0:58:52# Along with their overcoats

0:58:53 > 0:58:57# If Adolf Hitler flew in today

0:58:57 > 0:59:01# They'd send a limousine anyway

0:59:30 > 0:59:34# Just lookin' for fun

0:59:37 > 0:59:39# For fun

0:59:41 > 0:59:43# Ah

0:59:44 > 0:59:47# Ah Oh, ah

0:59:49 > 0:59:50# Ah. #

0:59:52 > 0:59:55CHEERING

0:59:57 > 1:00:01MICHAEL EAVIS: John Peel had been around here for years and years and years,

1:00:01 > 1:00:06so when he died, I thought that one thing we could do to pay him a real tribute

1:00:06 > 1:00:09was call the new bands stage after him.

1:00:09 > 1:00:12So it's the John Peel Stage from now on.

1:00:12 > 1:00:15John was what people think of when they think of Glastonbury.

1:00:15 > 1:00:18He kind of embodied what Glastonbury the experience should be about.

1:00:18 > 1:00:22So he'd go out and experience all the bizarre and unusual things and see all the unusual bands.

1:00:22 > 1:00:27We've got, for me, what has been the highlight of the entertainment so far,

1:00:27 > 1:00:30and you may spot a vaguely familiar face amongst the crowd, too.

1:00:30 > 1:00:33- Legs.- Yeah. Dancing, I'm told.

1:00:33 > 1:00:37This is the wonderful, magnificent Kanda Bongo Man.

1:00:37 > 1:00:40HE SINGS

1:00:43 > 1:00:45John was one of those people who didn't mince his words.

1:00:45 > 1:00:49If he didn't like a band, then he told you, which is the beauty of him.

1:00:49 > 1:00:52- Also I'm looking forward to Yes. - Are you?

1:00:52 > 1:00:54Do you have a relationship with Yes?

1:00:54 > 1:00:57No! Well, only one of deep and unremitting hatred.

1:00:57 > 1:00:59I always felt quite protective towards him.

1:00:59 > 1:01:01Cos when he was there, he felt quite vulnerable,

1:01:01 > 1:01:05and he'd kind of trek off and you'd think "I hope he gets back OK!"

1:01:05 > 1:01:08and then he'd come back with blood dripping down his leg

1:01:08 > 1:01:10where he'd fallen into a ditch.

1:01:10 > 1:01:13The low point was about five minutes ago, rushing to get to the studio,

1:01:13 > 1:01:17- when I fell into a ditch full of... - Not too wide.

1:01:17 > 1:01:21No, I made that mistake yesterday. But there you go.

1:01:21 > 1:01:24I just miss his bulk being there, and listening to him talking

1:01:24 > 1:01:27and being sarcastic about the things I really liked.

1:01:27 > 1:01:30We'll be back at 11.35 with live music from Blur,

1:01:30 > 1:01:33also Roni Size's Reprazent, and there's constant coverage

1:01:33 > 1:01:35all day long and all night long on Radio 1.

1:01:35 > 1:01:39You realise this is the end of the world we're witnessing here. Good night.

1:01:39 > 1:01:41# I wanna hold you... #

1:01:41 > 1:01:43Yeah, good night, John. So let's start K

1:04:42 > 1:04:44Thank you!

1:04:49 > 1:04:51See you next time!

1:04:55 > 1:04:58MUSIC: "Baggy Trousers" by Madness

1:05:02 > 1:05:05ALL: Welcome to the Kidz Field!

1:05:05 > 1:05:07This is a great place to be.

1:05:07 > 1:05:12It's the biggest free kids' festival in the whole of Europe.

1:05:12 > 1:05:14So it's pretty big.

1:05:14 > 1:05:17# Oh what fun we had But at the time it seemed so bad?

1:05:17 > 1:05:21# Trying different ways To make a difference to the days... #

1:05:21 > 1:05:24I like my face painted.

1:05:24 > 1:05:28It's really got lots of art stuff and I like art.

1:05:28 > 1:05:31I haven't done anything yet.

1:05:31 > 1:05:34# Oh what fun we had But did it really turn out bad... #

1:05:34 > 1:05:37MUSIC: "End of the Century" by Blur

1:05:42 > 1:05:46I made a puppet, a necklace and some fairy wings.

1:05:46 > 1:05:50The helter-skelter, definitely. It's so twirly and tall.

1:05:50 > 1:05:52Everyone's having a great time.

1:05:52 > 1:05:55No-one's in a mood or being down.

1:05:55 > 1:05:58We love the Kidz Field!

1:05:58 > 1:06:00MUSIC: "Smile" by Lily Allen

1:06:03 > 1:06:06I like getting my hair braided and my face painted

1:06:06 > 1:06:09and I like all the crafty stuff like puppets.

1:06:09 > 1:06:13I loved going on the helter-skelter because it's really fast and fun.

1:06:13 > 1:06:18I like going in the theatre place because it's nice and funny.

1:06:19 > 1:06:21ALL: Bye!

1:06:26 > 1:06:29Sometimes cruelly referred to as the oldies' slot,

1:06:29 > 1:06:34the list of legendary fogies who have played the Pyramid Stage at teatime on Sunday

1:06:34 > 1:06:37reads like a veritable care-home of fame.

1:06:37 > 1:06:43A great performance here can add an extra ten years to the career of a leathery exhibitionist pensioner.

1:06:44 > 1:06:47# I fell in to a burning ring of fire... #

1:06:47 > 1:06:50In 1994, it was the craggy Man In Black Johnny Cash

1:06:50 > 1:06:52who walked the ley line.

1:06:54 > 1:06:57# Don't mind the raindrops... #

1:06:57 > 1:07:03If not the world, it was certainly Pilton that Tony Bennett ruled back in 1998.

1:07:03 > 1:07:05Everybody over here!

1:07:05 > 1:07:09# Loving you whether, whether

1:07:09 > 1:07:11# Whether times are good or bad... #

1:07:11 > 1:07:15Soul great Al Green kept it together in 1999.

1:07:15 > 1:07:18# You are always on my mind... #

1:07:18 > 1:07:24And it was the turn of tax-avoiding country codger Willie Nelson in 2000.

1:07:24 > 1:07:29Who's the black private dick who's a sex machine to all the chicks?

1:07:29 > 1:07:322002's festival crowd witnessed Isaac Hayes

1:07:32 > 1:07:36deliver a set of prime funk and hot buttered soul.

1:07:36 > 1:07:38- # Get up - Get on up

1:07:38 > 1:07:40- # Get on up - Get on up... #

1:07:40 > 1:07:43Soul brother number 1, the hardest-working man in show business,

1:07:43 > 1:07:46Mr Dynamite or the Godfather of Soul,

1:07:46 > 1:07:52the late James Brown took the festival to the bridge in 2004.

1:07:52 > 1:07:57# I... I looked in her eyes... #

1:07:57 > 1:08:01'60s pop messiah Brian Wilson brought Good Vibrations

1:08:01 > 1:08:06and some much-needed Californian sunshine to 2005's rain-soaked event.

1:08:06 > 1:08:08# Good vibrations. #

1:08:08 > 1:08:10# Diamonds are forever

1:08:10 > 1:08:14# Forever, forever... #

1:08:14 > 1:08:17In 2007, it was the Welsh diva herself,

1:08:17 > 1:08:20with her diamond-encrusted treasure chest of pop gems.

1:08:20 > 1:08:24# Then I saw her face

1:08:24 > 1:08:26# Now I'm a believer... #

1:08:26 > 1:08:28And in 2008, it really did seem

1:08:28 > 1:08:31as though Diamond could be forever.

1:08:31 > 1:08:35# My my my, Delilah... #

1:08:35 > 1:08:38And last year, Dame Shirley's fellow countryman

1:08:38 > 1:08:41and Grade II listed lothario Tom Jones

1:08:41 > 1:08:46left the hair dye behind and got the festival crowd's knickers in something of a twist.

1:08:46 > 1:08:51This year, the honour falls on one of the great poets of pop, Ray Davies.

1:08:51 > 1:08:53THUNDER

1:08:53 > 1:08:57# Why does it always rain on me?

1:08:57 > 1:08:59# Is it because I lied when I was 17? #

1:08:59 > 1:09:02OK, OK, I know - we've got to have

1:09:02 > 1:09:04M for Mud.

1:09:04 > 1:09:07Personally, I'm bored with endless news crews

1:09:07 > 1:09:10patrolling the site, hoping for shots of knee-deep slurry

1:09:10 > 1:09:14to make you feel smug that you're at home in your armchair.

1:09:14 > 1:09:16But get this! It washes off, you know!

1:09:16 > 1:09:18We don't come out permanently encrusted.

1:09:18 > 1:09:22Still, you wanted mud, you got mud. Happy now?

1:09:22 > 1:09:25The water level was up to the bonnet of the Land Rover.

1:09:25 > 1:09:26No fishing. No diving.

1:09:26 > 1:09:34# Why does it always rain on

1:09:34 > 1:09:38# Oh? #

1:09:38 > 1:09:41# When you were young and your heart

1:09:41 > 1:09:45# Was an open book

1:09:45 > 1:09:47# You used to say

1:09:47 > 1:09:49# Live and let live

1:09:49 > 1:09:52# You know you did, you know you did You know you did

1:09:52 > 1:09:57# But if this ever-changing world in which we're livin'

1:09:57 > 1:10:01# Makes you give in and cry

1:10:03 > 1:10:06# Say live and let die

1:10:12 > 1:10:15# Live and let die

1:10:15 > 1:10:17# Live and let die

1:10:55 > 1:10:58# What does it matter to you?

1:10:58 > 1:11:00# When you got a job to do

1:11:00 > 1:11:03# You got to do it well

1:11:03 > 1:11:10# You got to give the other fellow hell

1:11:33 > 1:11:37# You used to say Live and let live

1:11:37 > 1:11:41# You know you did, you know you did You know you did

1:12:47 > 1:12:50ALL: Welcome to the NYC Downlow.

1:12:50 > 1:12:53Are you excited about coming in to the disco?

1:12:53 > 1:12:56This is where the magic happens.

1:13:02 > 1:13:06NYC Downlow incorporates disco and indeed a lot of performance,

1:13:06 > 1:13:09which is why a lot of us are here.

1:13:09 > 1:13:11# Come on, let's do it Let's dance

1:13:17 > 1:13:20You know, with your moustache, you can get in for free.

1:13:30 > 1:13:34# Sunday morning I'm waking up

1:13:34 > 1:13:39# Can't even focus on a coffee cup

1:14:15 > 1:14:19- JOHN PEEL:- What we're going to hear is the English National Opera

1:14:19 > 1:14:22with Act 3 of Wagner's Valkyrie. It's performed in English

1:14:22 > 1:14:24rather than the original German,

1:14:24 > 1:14:27and over 100 musicians and singers on the stage,

1:14:27 > 1:14:30and they're going to be doing it in modern dress combats, I'm told,

1:14:30 > 1:14:35rather than in helmets and breastplates. I was looking forward to them.

1:14:35 > 1:14:39THEY SING "Ride of the Valkyries"

1:14:41 > 1:14:45This is the largest live opera event ever to have taken place.

1:14:45 > 1:14:48MICHAEL EAVIS: Wagner said that this music was written for masses of people,

1:14:48 > 1:14:51and where else can you get masses other than Glastonbury?

1:14:51 > 1:14:54SHE SINGS

1:15:08 > 1:15:10A lot of people out there!

1:15:10 > 1:15:14Absolutely incredible, isn't it, to get so many people on board.

1:15:19 > 1:15:23WILD APPLAUSE AND CHEERS

1:15:44 > 1:15:48# You gotta roll with it You gotta take your time

1:15:48 > 1:15:53# You gotta say what you say Don't let anybody get in your way

1:15:53 > 1:15:57# Cos it's all too much for me to take

1:15:59 > 1:16:03# Don't ever stand aside Don't ever be denied

1:16:03 > 1:16:07# You wanna be who you'd be If you're coming with me

1:16:07 > 1:16:11# I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside

1:16:11 > 1:16:15# I think I'm gonna take me away and hide

1:16:15 > 1:16:20# I'm thinking of things that I just can't abide

1:16:22 > 1:16:27# I know the roads down which your life will drive

1:16:27 > 1:16:29# Will drive

1:16:29 > 1:16:34# I find the key that lets you slip inside

1:16:34 > 1:16:37# Lets you slip inside

1:16:42 > 1:16:44# Not behind the door

1:19:12 > 1:19:14APPLAUSE AND CHEERS

1:19:17 > 1:19:20Glastonbury's iconic Pyramid Stage has a history more mythical

1:19:20 > 1:19:22than even the most legendary performers

1:19:22 > 1:19:25who've trodden its sacred boards.

1:19:25 > 1:19:28Making its new-age debut at the festival in 1971,

1:19:28 > 1:19:32the original Pyramid Stage played host to the likes of Hawkwind,

1:19:32 > 1:19:34Traffic and David Bowie.

1:19:34 > 1:19:36Instrumental in organising that festival,

1:19:36 > 1:19:40and the man behind the stage's celestial design concept

1:19:40 > 1:19:42was Andrew Carr.

1:19:42 > 1:19:45We had a discussion about what the stage would look like,

1:19:45 > 1:19:51and the pyramid is sort of a symbol of the ancient wisdom.

1:19:51 > 1:19:55But it wasn't just the shape of the stage

1:19:55 > 1:19:59but also its positioning that was of huge importance to the hippie revellers.

1:19:59 > 1:20:02Now there's a ley line from Glastonbury

1:20:02 > 1:20:06to Stonehenge to Canterbury.

1:20:06 > 1:20:09And that line runs just behind the Pyramid.

1:20:09 > 1:20:13The stage was remodelled slightly in the early '80s,

1:20:13 > 1:20:17but despite the good vibes created by the Pyramid's karmic inheritance

1:20:17 > 1:20:20occasionally ley lines got crossed

1:20:20 > 1:20:23and it suffered the effects of negative energy.

1:20:23 > 1:20:28The Pyramid that I grew up with was the one which went up to 1994 and then burnt down.

1:20:28 > 1:20:32I remember looking out the bedroom window and I just saw the flames.

1:20:32 > 1:20:34And that was the worst moment for me.

1:20:34 > 1:20:37That was about two weeks before the festival started.

1:20:37 > 1:20:40Rising like a phoenix-thing from some of those ashes

1:20:40 > 1:20:43came a new Pyramid, which spiritually enhanced

1:20:43 > 1:20:46the festival experience into the new millennium.

1:20:49 > 1:20:52But whatever your thoughts about the Pyramid's mystical powers,

1:20:52 > 1:20:55it seems that setting foot on its hallowed boards

1:20:55 > 1:20:58can often transform a good band into a great one

1:20:58 > 1:21:02and a performance into a transcendental moment of pop history.

1:21:07 > 1:21:09Mud. Mud is come.

1:21:09 > 1:21:11Mud. Mud is here.

1:21:11 > 1:21:13Mud. Getting deep.

1:21:13 > 1:21:15Mud. Mixed with beer.

1:21:15 > 1:21:18Hippies in the hedgerow Rockers down the pub

1:21:18 > 1:21:20Wander down the country lanes

1:21:20 > 1:21:22Can't you feel the love?

1:21:22 > 1:21:25Rubber boots and rucksacks Tutus and tattoos

1:21:25 > 1:21:29The legend that is Glastonbury rumbles into view.

1:21:29 > 1:21:33Weeks of perfect weather Ground as dry as bone

1:21:33 > 1:21:37It's gonna be a winner, man You know it's carved in stone.

1:21:37 > 1:21:41Wednesday starts the heatwave Thursday still the same

1:21:41 > 1:21:45So why the hell on Thursday night does it decide to rain?

1:21:45 > 1:21:48Thunder flashing, lightning Torrents from above

1:21:48 > 1:21:52Squelching down the country lanes Can't you feel the love?

1:21:52 > 1:21:54Mud. Mud has come. Mud. Mud is here.

1:21:54 > 1:21:57Mud. Getting deep. Mud. Mixed with beer.

1:21:57 > 1:21:59Mud. Do we care? Mud. Are we strong?

1:21:59 > 1:22:03Mud. Glastonbury. Mud. Bring it on!

1:22:03 > 1:22:08# We get some rules to follow

1:22:08 > 1:22:14# That and this, these and those

1:22:17 > 1:22:19# No-one knows

1:26:18 > 1:26:23This programme is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Glastonbury Festival.

1:26:23 > 1:26:26But things were obviously different at the very beginning -

1:26:26 > 1:26:29well, not the dawn of time, exactly, but at the first festival.

1:26:29 > 1:26:34One of the bands to play that event at Worthy Farm was Quintessence.

1:26:34 > 1:26:37I bet you were wondering what else we'd put in for Q, weren't you?

1:26:39 > 1:26:41We were quite popular in those days

1:26:41 > 1:26:45so we had a lot of audience down there, so it was a good gig to do.

1:26:45 > 1:26:49# They grew as tall as trees... #

1:26:49 > 1:26:53We knew the bands, so Marc Bolan was playing there, I knew Marc Bolan.

1:26:53 > 1:26:55It was quite a close community, really,

1:26:55 > 1:26:59of the audience and the bands, I think. Everyone knew everyone else.

1:27:02 > 1:27:05It was sort of flying by the seat of your pants.

1:27:05 > 1:27:09It was coming to a field where they were building the stage -

1:27:09 > 1:27:13I remember going up and doing scaffolding myself to make sure...

1:27:13 > 1:27:15Help make sure we had a stage to play on.

1:27:15 > 1:27:20The stage was actually tied to an apple tree - right behind me, that apple tree there.

1:27:20 > 1:27:22It was tied to that tree.

1:27:22 > 1:27:25And it was very makeshift. Didn't even have a roof on it,

1:27:25 > 1:27:27so thank God it didn't rain.

1:27:29 > 1:27:32Marc Bolan turned up in a velvet-covered car.

1:27:32 > 1:27:36I was on the gate and taking the pound off all these people, I put my hand on his car -

1:27:36 > 1:27:40"Man, you don't touch my car!" he said. He nearly...

1:27:40 > 1:27:43He nearly charged at me from the car window.

1:27:43 > 1:27:46He scared me, I thought, "What a horrible chap!"

1:27:46 > 1:27:50And anyway, having said all that, he did a wonderful job,

1:27:50 > 1:27:53and it's one of the best sets I've ever seen in my life.

1:27:54 > 1:27:58Andy, can you turn on the lights so we can see the people? We haven't seen them yet.

1:27:58 > 1:28:01APPLAUSE AND CHEERS

1:32:16 > 1:32:18Watch this nail.

1:32:18 > 1:32:21There are many brands of hazardous and vaguely mentalist

1:32:21 > 1:32:25life-threatening cabaret acts to be found at Glastonbury

1:32:25 > 1:32:28and malicious producers have traditionally been all-too-eager to

1:32:28 > 1:32:32flout the BBC's otherwise impeccable health and safety regulations

1:32:32 > 1:32:35by subjecting their precious presenters to death-defying acts

1:32:35 > 1:32:37in the name of entertainment.

1:32:37 > 1:32:39Of course, being the essence of cool,

1:32:39 > 1:32:41it takes more than that to make us look stupid.

1:32:41 > 1:32:43SHRIEKS OF DISGUST

1:32:43 > 1:32:45Oh my God, take it off me, take it off me!

1:35:18 > 1:35:21One of the landmarks seen regularly on TV over the weekend

1:35:21 > 1:35:24is the mythical and majestic Glastonbury Tor.

1:35:24 > 1:35:25The hill, not the tower.

1:35:25 > 1:35:30"Tor" is in fact a local Celtic word meaning "conical hill",

1:35:30 > 1:35:32and perched on the top, St Michael's tower

1:35:32 > 1:35:35was once part of a church there in the Middle Ages.

1:35:35 > 1:35:39Once again, we're back with the myths and legends of the Vale of Avalon.

1:35:42 > 1:35:46My name's Ruby Blues and welcome to Trash City. Let me show you around.

1:35:50 > 1:35:52This is our giant Easter Island head,

1:35:52 > 1:35:54which is the centre of Trash City.

1:36:08 > 1:36:13So that's everything you need to know about Trash City, come on down, we're open dusk till dawn.

1:36:40 > 1:36:44There was one occasion when...basically what happened,

1:36:44 > 1:36:47there is a valve on the machine and it was set to blow instead of suck.

1:36:47 > 1:36:52The handle was lifted and out it came, it sprayed on to the dance tent.

1:40:24 > 1:40:28The farmer who is holding a pop festival near Glastonbury next week

1:40:28 > 1:40:30today won a High Court injunction

1:40:30 > 1:40:33against nearly 100 hippies camped on his land.

1:40:33 > 1:40:38This evening they were joined by about 100 more, most of them from the peace convoy.

1:40:38 > 1:40:41They've gathered at the farm a week before the pop festival begins,

1:40:41 > 1:40:44and the farmer said they have to leave for insurance reasons

1:40:44 > 1:40:47but he's agreed to let them stay until tomorrow.

1:40:57 > 1:40:59I was born in Pilton.

1:40:59 > 1:41:02Yes, I'm 44 now.

1:41:02 > 1:41:04And, um...

1:41:04 > 1:41:08lovely place to grow up in, marvellous childhood here.

1:41:08 > 1:41:12The pace has changed so quick now, that's the trouble.

1:41:12 > 1:41:17- All the old people have gone. - All the old faces have died out. - It's all the young ones.

1:41:17 > 1:41:20Over the years, a lot of new people come in the village...

1:41:20 > 1:41:22- You don't know them. - You don't know who they are.

1:41:22 > 1:41:26# Whatever happened To our rock and roll? #

1:41:26 > 1:41:33When it first started, people in the village, a number of people in the village, were quite affronted by it.

1:41:33 > 1:41:36We had a huge number of generals living in the village.

1:41:36 > 1:41:40These were the sort of people who's idea of heavy metal was a tank.

1:41:40 > 1:41:45The feeling one gets now is that most people like it.

1:41:45 > 1:41:50We've got two busloads of local people coming round to see the site before the show starts.

1:41:50 > 1:41:56So you give them a tour round with a microphone and tell them all about it. They're all lining up to see it.

1:41:56 > 1:41:59He looks after the village, he's a villager at heart, still.

1:41:59 > 1:42:02He still keeps the lad to the land.

1:42:02 > 1:42:06Oh it's not too bad. As long as the weather's nice.

1:42:06 > 1:42:11They can have a...they can have a good time if it's fine.

1:42:11 > 1:42:15If it's wet, they're up to their neck in mud.

1:42:15 > 1:42:16Ha-ha!

1:42:16 > 1:42:18Ha-ha-ha!

1:42:26 > 1:42:30INSTRUMENTAL

1:43:37 > 1:43:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

1:43:40 > 1:43:44CROWD CLAPS IN TIME

1:43:54 > 1:43:56INSTRUMENTAL

1:44:38 > 1:44:39CROWD: HEY!

1:44:40 > 1:44:43HEY! HEY!

1:44:43 > 1:44:45HEY! HEY!

1:44:46 > 1:44:49HEY!

1:45:33 > 1:45:36CHEERING

1:45:46 > 1:45:48And now, some footage of the traditional folk art

1:45:48 > 1:45:51of spending ages building an elaborate structure

1:45:51 > 1:45:53and then torching it.

1:45:55 > 1:45:58According to the astrologers,

1:46:00 > 1:46:05the burn should take place

1:46:06 > 1:46:11at eight minutes to midnight.

1:46:11 > 1:46:13What's the time now?

1:46:13 > 1:46:14LAUGHTER

1:46:17 > 1:46:21Time to light the blue touch paper and stand well back, eh, Michael?

1:46:21 > 1:46:25DRUMMING AND CHEERING

1:46:43 > 1:46:48It was about 150 years ago that we turned up.

1:46:48 > 1:46:54My great grandparents brought the cows all the way from Dorset to Pilton.

1:46:54 > 1:46:57And they milked them on the way and sold the milk on the way.

1:46:57 > 1:46:59We've been here ever since.

1:46:59 > 1:47:04Their son, William, was a big cheese maker. He made a cheese which

1:47:04 > 1:47:06actually went to South Wales for the miners.

1:47:06 > 1:47:11The general strike came about in 1926,

1:47:11 > 1:47:15when the miners weren't earning, so they couldn't buy the cheese, so we had to throw it all out.

1:47:15 > 1:47:20But I remember going down to the south of the village, which is called Bread Street,

1:47:20 > 1:47:23And he's holding me up, I was about four or something,

1:47:23 > 1:47:27he said, "This is the Prince of Wales," because I was the heir to the throne.

1:47:27 > 1:47:30I didn't know what he meant.

1:47:30 > 1:47:33But I obviously know now.

1:47:33 > 1:47:36But then he handed over to one of his sons, my father.

1:47:36 > 1:47:39And he's very easy going, very pleasant, very jovial,

1:47:39 > 1:47:41good preacher.

1:47:41 > 1:47:43He's a great preacher.

1:47:43 > 1:47:48My mother was a hard working teacher and she had a good salary, that was really helpful.

1:47:48 > 1:47:52So it's due to her efforts that the farm is still here today.

1:47:52 > 1:47:54# My father, he was a good old man

1:47:54 > 1:47:57# He put me to service When I was very young...#

1:47:57 > 1:48:02When I was 19 I took the father over from my mother, because my father died when I was 19.

1:48:02 > 1:48:08I thought I'd go to sea for 20 years, come back with a pension and take over the farm from my father.

1:48:08 > 1:48:10Unfortunately, my father died when he was very young

1:48:10 > 1:48:15so I had to leave all that and come back and milk the cows myself,

1:48:15 > 1:48:18and so get stuck in at the deep end.

1:48:18 > 1:48:22It was quite a shock, initially,

1:48:22 > 1:48:23but I got used to it,

1:48:23 > 1:48:26and I love that farm now, I really do.

1:48:26 > 1:48:30The farm is more important to me, long term, than the festival, it really is.

1:48:30 > 1:48:34My father and grandfather would be thrilled with the amount of milk we're producing.

1:48:34 > 1:48:36They'd be well impressed with the milk check.

1:48:36 > 1:48:39CHEERING

1:48:39 > 1:48:42# Just dance Gonna be OK...#

1:48:42 > 1:48:47Now, X. It falls on me as narrator to warn you if there's any flash photography coming up.

1:48:47 > 1:48:49There isn't.

1:48:49 > 1:48:51Though there are examples of another kind of flashy.

1:48:51 > 1:48:55So if that's likely to offend, turn away now.

1:48:56 > 1:48:58# Gonna be OK

1:49:01 > 1:49:04# Just, just, just dance. #

1:49:04 > 1:49:08CHEERING

1:49:10 > 1:49:15Hopefully, this time next year you'll sing along with this, because it'll be a hit. It's called Yellow, this.

1:49:15 > 1:49:22Many bands play the festival each year, but a small number seem to go through some sort of transformation.

1:49:22 > 1:49:27From debuting on a smaller stage, to grander headlining performances,

1:49:27 > 1:49:30and then leaving with their stature hugely inflated.

1:49:30 > 1:49:32One such band made their debut back in 2000,

1:49:32 > 1:49:36and have become firm friends and supporters of the Eavises.

1:49:47 > 1:49:49# Look at the stars

1:49:49 > 1:49:54# Look how they shine for you

1:49:55 > 1:49:59# And everything you do

1:50:00 > 1:50:03# Yeah, they were all yellow

1:50:03 > 1:50:05# I came along

1:50:05 > 1:50:10# I wrote a song for you

1:50:12 > 1:50:15# And all the things you do

1:50:17 > 1:50:20# And it was called Yellow

1:50:21 > 1:50:25# So then I took my turn

1:50:27 > 1:50:31# Oh, what a thing to have done

1:50:32 > 1:50:35# And it was all yellow

1:50:41 > 1:50:43# Your skin

1:50:43 > 1:50:47# Oh yeah, your skin and bones

1:50:47 > 1:50:52# Turn into something beautiful

1:50:52 > 1:50:55# Do you know

1:50:55 > 1:50:57# You know I love you so

1:51:00 > 1:51:02# You know I love you so

1:51:25 > 1:51:29# It's true

1:51:29 > 1:51:32# Look how they shine for you

1:51:34 > 1:51:39# Look how they shine for you

1:51:39 > 1:51:43# Look how they shine for...

1:51:45 > 1:51:49# Look how they shine for you

1:51:51 > 1:51:55# Look how they shine for you

1:51:56 > 1:51:59# Look how they shine. #

1:51:59 > 1:52:03CHEERING

1:52:10 > 1:52:14We're all used to seeing the festival site for three days,

1:52:14 > 1:52:17what about the other 362 days of the year?

1:52:17 > 1:52:21It's when the land needs to recover to do it all over again.

1:52:21 > 1:52:24And normal life returns to a dairy farm in Somerset.

1:52:24 > 1:52:27It does look quite disgusting.

1:52:27 > 1:52:30For the first two or three weeks after,

1:52:30 > 1:52:35I mean it's almost impossible to take it in, really.

1:52:39 > 1:52:43We all get stuck into it, we crack away it, work and work away.

1:52:43 > 1:52:47And nature always comes, or finds a way of coming back. It always comes back.

1:52:47 > 1:52:49But it's the work that goes into it.

1:52:51 > 1:52:54I do get incredible feedback when I go anywhere and people say,

1:52:54 > 1:52:57"Oh, it was fantastic." And I say, "Was it, really?" "Yeah, man."

1:52:57 > 1:53:02In the cold light of day, say in the Autumn, like now,

1:53:02 > 1:53:04it gives me the heart to carry on, that does.

1:53:06 > 1:53:07It really does.

1:53:13 > 1:53:15Can you imagine this arena last year?

1:53:15 > 1:53:20At the end of the festival, it was just a sea of mud, four inches thick mud, wasn't it?

1:53:20 > 1:53:23And see it now, it's fantastic now.

1:53:23 > 1:53:26It's so green and fresh and it's all new grass.

1:53:27 > 1:53:31The new grass actually grows better, funnily enough.

1:53:31 > 1:53:35# It's looking like a beautiful day. #

1:53:35 > 1:53:37It's looking good, isn't it?

1:53:37 > 1:53:39The whole valley looks fantastic today.

1:53:39 > 1:53:46All we need is some nice, hot, sun. End of June.

1:53:46 > 1:53:48It'll be a dream, it'll be a dream again.

1:53:48 > 1:53:50It'll come back.

1:53:50 > 1:53:52It has to.

1:53:54 > 1:53:56Yeah. It has to.

1:53:56 > 1:53:58But whatever the weather, we're on our way back.

1:53:58 > 1:54:01The clans are gathering to do it all again.

1:54:01 > 1:54:03There's nowhere else like it.

1:54:03 > 1:54:06And so we reach the non-mythical Z.

1:54:06 > 1:54:09There's no doubt that Shawn Carter caused a big furore

1:54:09 > 1:54:12when he was asked to headline the Pyramid Stage in 2008.

1:54:12 > 1:54:16Most vocal was Brit-popper, Noel Gallagher

1:54:16 > 1:54:20And Jay-Zed, sorry, Jay-Z, had his own unique response.

1:54:20 > 1:54:22Here's to another 40 years.

1:54:28 > 1:54:30# Today is gonna be the day

1:54:30 > 1:54:33# That they're gonna throw it back to you

1:54:33 > 1:54:38# Right now, you should have somehow Realised what you wanna do

1:54:38 > 1:54:44# I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do about you, now

1:54:50 > 1:54:54# Backbeat, the word is on the street That the fire in your heart is out

1:54:55 > 1:55:01# I'm sure you've heard it all before But you never really had a doubt

1:55:01 > 1:55:07# I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do about you, now

1:55:11 > 1:55:15# And all the roads You have to walk are winding

1:55:17 > 1:55:21# And all the lights That lead us there are blinding

1:55:23 > 1:55:27# There are many things that I Would like to say to you

1:55:27 > 1:55:29# But I don't know how

1:55:33 > 1:55:38CROWD: # I said maybe
