Glastonbury mud - anyone else there?

My best memory of that was being in front of the stage in the student union where the bass just seemed to go right through you. Never felt it so strong since, though never been at the front of any gig since, I'd be too worried of it affecting my heart rhythm and causing heart failure.

Any deaths reported at the front of any glasto audience that didn't turn out to be drug/drink related may be due to the bass.

No deaths from that but my ears were ringing for weeks.

Watch the skepta set it won't appeal to most but you can see the sound waves at a few points in the set its distorting the air.

If they had any brains (yes I'm sure what I'm about to suggest is feasible ), they'd have the bands play some music that vibrates the air at just the right frequency to force the water back out of the mud and up into the clouds.

Would teach those in the audience not to piss where they stand too.

What, like 100 acres of wooden decking?

Never been there, but I thought the mud was part of the fun!

A bit more decking would have been better yes. Also, they decided half way through that metal roads would have been better in the fields.

The organisation was just piss poor too. No-one knew what was going on.

Appreciate its not easy getting 200K people in and out of a muddy field in somerset but it could have been better considering the money available.

Get caught peeing in glasto and you are out. Frowned upon.

They get fined for polluting the river. Did last year when the piss tank leaked.

Went a couple of times in the early 90s, was a lot of fun then, unsure whether I would like, what it's turned into now.
I guess getting in for free helped also
