My fantasy Glastonbury, would be to get rid of the huge muddy fields and to be able to see all my favourite bands in a good sub 500 capacity venue with a well-stocked bar.
[/quote]Mine would be to get rid of the BBC and all the corporate bullshit that promotes the mediocre music.

Just to add...

King Tubby

Godflesh

Dusty Springfield

Miles Davis

Duke Ellington.

Can I be 21 again and hitch hike down there ? Can I get picked up by some Dutch girls in a Volkwagen camper van ? If so , I'm not so bothered about what bands are on .

[/quote]Good call - that'll do for me. And a bottle of Tequila mixed into a grapefruit juice carton so no-one asks for a drink.

The "Space Ritual" lineup of Hawkwind
Nick Drake
"Leige & Leif" era Fairport Convention
The original incarnation of Todd Rundgrens Utopia
The Bible
Levitation
Opeth
Porcupine Tree
The 2nd incarnation of The Mahavishnu Orchestra
Shakti
Magazine
The Psychedelic Furs
The Thorns
Boo Hewerdine (as he'd be there with The Bible he could do a solo set as well)

That'll do.

As it's a fantasy I'd also want to be the only person in the audience.

++1 the first day taken up entirely with them playing Dark Star!

The Dead played the longest set I have ever seen, over 5 hours at Bickershaw Festival (yep the Dead played Wigan!) during their legendary European tour of 1972. In fact my fantasy Glastonbury would probably be just a re-run of that festival.

The Dead
Beefheat
New Riders of the Purple Sage
Cheech and Chong
The Kinks
Hawkwind
Family
Donovan
Country Joe and the Fish
Dr John
Wishbone Ash
Linda Lewis
Flaming Groovies
The Incredible String Band
etc etc.

The festival was actually organised by a guy called Jeremy Beadle - who went on to do lesser things including You've been Framed.

Both Joe Strummer and Elvis Costello were somewhere amongst the crowd in those muddy northern fields.
