waiting for my glastonbury girl

The Rolling Stones would have to be the best band I have ever seen. The whole set is a happy blur. They played for over 2 hours, including a rendition of 'Factory Girl' specially tailored to the festival- 'Glastonbury Girl'


The set list was nothing short of mind blowing. 'Sympathy For The Devil' came on and a giant metal Phoenix spread its wings from the top of the Pyramid stage, and started blowing out fire. Looking around the crowd, big red flares gave the flags and air a red glow only adding to the song. Fireworks would follow. A choir then bellowing out 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' and we all knew that this was a real moment. Red confetti filled the sky as everyone screamed 'cos I try...and I try...and i try...and I try....I CAN'T GET NO!'
