Are you referring to Glastonbury MDB? The last time I was there was in 1986 with The Cure headlining (amazing electrical storm during The Cure's set whilst tripped off me box on good acid), which was when they had major problems with the travellers gatecrashing the site due to Maggie's Stormtroopers trashing the Stonehenge free festival in 1985. However, even then it was turning into the horrendous middle class students' 'pop' festival that it is today. IMO, the best festivals were the free ones frequented by the travellers, hippies, punks and anarchists in the '70's/early '80's. Since then, festivals seem to have become far too mainstream with a huge police presence, crap acts, overinflated ticket prices, far too many young people etc. etc. (Disclaimer: I've not actually been to any multi-day festivals since then due to the prohibitive ticket prices, so I may be totally wrong...)
