In 1970, a young farmer named Michael Eavis opened his 150-acre farm to 1,5000 people who paid one pound each to watch a handful of pop and folk stars perform all weekend long, and the Glastonbury Festival was born. And for most of the past 30 years, the Worthy Farm in Glastonbury has provided a delirious outdoor concert for thousands of people. Julien Temple, (Director of the Sex Pistols documentary The Filth and the Fury), has spent the past few years collecting footage from every single Glastonbury Festival, ranging from professional outtakes to amateur home videos collected from attendees themselves, often retrieved from forgotten corners of closets and attics. Interweaving images of skeptical locals and stirring performances by music legends, not to mention the unbridled energy of each successive generation of youthful music fans, Glastonbury skillfully chronicles the evolution of the longest-running music festival in the world.

Connery told the assembled crowd, "Not one (BBC technician) at the... Read more
