The Thursday gig on the Hub stage Shangrila field was wonderful,
packed by the early Glastoers who were mainly in Shangrila, as the main
stage was not yet fully functioning. The Hub is the central stage there
and is arranged in tiers like a Roman gladiatorial arena. I gave my
usual cry of "Freedom" after introducing Nik (It was his 40th
anniversary at Glastonbury)...and was greeted by a huge roar from the
near hysterical crowd...I tried a few comments regarding the corruption
of capitalist society...another huge roar. If we'd continued in that
vein I'm sure we could have had the fences down lol. Instead we gave
them one of the best sets that the Nu ICU has ever given. Very very good.
The next day (Fri) at the Dada stage was rubbish as there was hardly
anyone there and rave mixer guy didn't have a clue as to how to mix a
live rock band and the supplied equipment was disfunctional. Never mind,
the horror of corporate Glastonbury was atoned for by that Hub gig.
