Brilliant and sums up the essence of Glasto very well. i was there that year and every fest there since; now have a ticket for 2015. it has lost an edginess to some degree but it's still there, on and off.
Yeah lots of us oldies think its got to safe, but it had to go that way or it would be no more. Still probably the greatest show on earth. I hope Boris and chums dont fuck it over. He stopped drinking on the tube kyboshed late license for Streetfeast. What next?
My first one. Walked in for nothing through the travellers camp. Totally lost it and just monged about in the Green field til the acid wore off. When we went to leave our van was clamped and cost us £80 to release it, great adventure though!
Hi Matthew - I'd love to see the originals of this if you have it ? I'm making a a documentary about the Free Party story and Glasto 90 is a part of it.
Watching this and I'm pretty certain that I'm walking from centre towards the left between 1:12 to 1:15. The figure on the left looks like a girl called Rachel who I went to Glastonbury with that year. Silhouettes and way of moving look right but will probably never know for sure. Would have been about the same time as my avatar photo (and probably the same clothes:-))
Was there a good time had by all last year you could camp in front of the p stage our tents came part of the crowd 4 the cure do you remember the helicopter anyone
Matthew - great video - I admin the Archaos Circus archive - do you have more footage of the Glastonbury show (yours is the only footage out there!) would ove o post it on the archive website cheers mischa
Nice one Matthew, did you shoot on Super8? I can't think why you don't appear in MY film of Glastonbury Festival 1990 - must have missed you somehow :-) Cheers, Paul. Message for Mischa, there is a tiny bit of Archaos Circus in my film (one of the guys with an angle grinder on top of the pyramid), so this is not the only footage out there, and you're welcome to use it.
Arrived in a massive convoy of trucks and buses, was a good festy then, but Micheal Greedis stitched us up with the sketchy security who tried to tob tge farmhouse at the Treworgey tree fayre in 89 in cornwall but they got their asses kicked, he knew it would be a battle and deliberately hired them against police advice, it was the Dodgy black security from Bristol who started the 1990 riot thst year not Travellers.
Cheers for this, what a weekend that was. The crowd for The Cure was fucking massive, De La Soul were ace!!
Have just discovered this, brilliant footage , takes me back 30 years

Yes!!
Ha, I'd completely forgotten...halfway through the set.
The Cure were amazing.
I remember,I think it was cause someone got crushed,I was tripping at the time,great times
The one and only time I've been. I wonder if there's any footage of Sinead O'connor?
I was there... I had no idea it was actually as lucid and clear as your video makes it appear (I was a bit f*cked up at the time).
Thanks for posting
