The true Glastonbury experience

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

To be somewhat out of step with popular opinion, Glastonbury was never really about the bands. Don't get me wrong; the performers were/are good but they were always a distraction from the whole experience.

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is complete crap.

Hated this as I thought it was going a documentary about the years of the Glastonbury Festival but it focuses on a specific year 1993 and it has its focus on the people attending of which I have not the slightest interest. Also the musicians/bands they focused on briefly Spiritualized, Porno For Pyros,The Lemonheads I had never heard of. Just awful.

Was pleasantly surprised

As a music fan I know all about the "Glastonbury Festival." Also I am big fan of 90s music so I was excited to watch this doc. I was expecting some live footage and some interviews, but instead I was treated to something different and more entertaining.

The thing that makes this film so unique is the focus it places on the normal festival goers and their experience at the Festival. in between the performances, characters are followed, giving them story arcs as their experiences are shared. The one that stuck out was "Charlie the Drummer" he shows up in a beat up van trying to play, plays and then attends the festival. Stories like this fit nicely against the backdrop of classic music from "The Verve" "Porno for Pyros" and "Spirtyalized" making "Glastonbury: In Flashback" a worthy watch!
