Music
In the good old days when rock ROCKED!!! Mid to late 70s.
New Order '89 and seeing John Peel walk into the Arena with a box of 7" singles. Class.
Muse 2002. There was a thunderstorm, fork lighting - all throughout the set -
the most electric, most awe inspiring, most memorableset.
I have been going to Reading on and off for 20 years! Have just brought
my three daughters for the first time and still loving it (so are they!)
1989 to 2004 and beyond, great times, great memories (Wonderstuff, carter, My life Story,
Prodigy, Frank Sidebottom, Etc Etc). Great camp fires!!
I think the bands are best heard from Pangbourne [Several miles to the west of the site]
Miles Hunt of the Wonderstuff pointing towards Reading as he sang 'Red Berry Joy Town' in
1992
John Peel (1939-2004), a true pioneer, without him the line-ups could've looked very different.
Listening to Eminem from our top room in Wilson Road
2000 Foo Fighters, Dave [Grohl] you're one of best musicians around today!
1998 picked up my GCSE results and ran straight down to see the Chemical Brothers that night.
I took my kids to the very first festivals in the early 70s, when it was a 'family treat'.
THE END OF THE FESTIVAL, ANY YEAR - resident of the Warren, Caversham (not every one loves rock).
