My Glastonbury 2020

Class. Glastonbury, but without the giggling Nitrous Oxide huffers in the tent next door at 5.30am.....And only a stones throw from your bedroom! I can see that catching on.

I was watching the glasto experience last weekend when it finally dawned we're in for the really long run regarding social distancing and a grey cloack fell over me, got a bit depressed but then i saw this post. spent the whole sunday with my kids building an amazing LEGO city. 

groundstacked would have been way before 2000. I have memory's of watching loads of bands there in the late 90's when I was at school and that was always flown flashlight. For the majority of the 90's the pyramid was actually a Orbit. Pretty sure the original pyramid burnt down circa 1993/4 and the new one was built around 2000.

The mk2 pyramid stage on the 1980's photos burnt down in 1994, only weeks before the event and my first time there. The BBC don't have any decent footage of this stage as they didn't televise it until 1994.

Pyramid PA in 94 was 18 flashight per side and 2 delay towers. I think the bass was tsw721, a big pile of maybe 16 per side. This system was used until 2002 when they used l'acoustics v-dosc. I was amazed how small the 2 main v-dosc hangs looked, but not so impressed with the sound, it seemed to be lacking something.

They then went with Nexo geo-t for a few years, this made the memory of the v-dosc improve somewhat...

1994 NME stage (now called Other stage) had 12 turbo TMS3 per side flown from cranes. The stage was tiny compared to it's current size. Later years had flashlight. It's all D&B now, but still the same company.

I saw some good footage from the Jazz World stage (now West Holts) at the weekend, back when they had a monster Thunder Ridge system. That set up was fierce, in the best way! That stage has always sounded great, something to do with ley lines apparently.
