Well, I'm off to Glastonbury Festival (again!) tomorrow so I thought I'd add a list of the festival's head honcho's favourite Glastonbury moments (as seen on the Guardian web site) 
T Rex (1970)
'The sun was setting, everyone was watching, it was brilliant. It gave me the courage to carry on with the festival'
John Martyn (1979)
'He was in a good mood for a change. He was always drunk and slagging me off, we had quite a stormy relationship really. But on that occasion, at that moment in time, he was perfect'
The Smiths (1984)
'We had no fence around the Pyramid but it was the last year we could do that, because everybody climbed on stage and the band couldn't finish their set. I think they had a good time but Morrissey never admits to enjoying himself'
Oasis (1994)
'Not 1995 or any later, because they deteriorated with age, I think. But they were fantastic in 1994'
Radiohead (1997)
'I really wanted them to play again in 2008 but I got mixed up with the dates and they couldn't do it. I just think their performance that night, particularly of the song No Surprises, was very, very moving'
