Oooooh great thread Kraz! but "undisputed"? PAH! Gonna have to think a while for the greatest for me but here's 5 to get the ball rolling. (Regular readers can turn away now. I'm sure I've mentioned these before!!) For some reason individual lines from songs stick with me after a stunning set. "Well if I evaar see the mor horr ninnggg" The Tallest Man on Earth starting "I won't be found" to a packed Far Out. Here's a snippet from that set which I think captures the atmosphere: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmmLNq2TIPI"The World's such a wonderful place" Band of Horses headlining the Main stage. The heavens opened as he sung this line from "Ode to LRC" and it was beautiful! Little Joe the drummer from Eels introducing himself with a song. (Great set on the Main stage. I think the whole thing is on YouTube) Sam Lee finishing his set acapella in the middle of the Walled Garden crowd (as he'd run over time and the stage was being cleared for the next act). In traditional folk-club style Sam had us all singing along with the chorus. I could hear the most beautiful voice behind me; sooooo beautiful that I had to turn around at the end of the song to see from where the voice had come and maybe to tell them to consider a career in singing! It was only Rachel Unthank who had played the main stage the night before!! Me good mate Kraz's Orchestra Baobab t-shirt being spotted by their singer during their set on the main stage last year and subsequently Kraz being filmed onto the big screen |

The Melyn Melin set from last year was full of moments. Especially the perfectly timed fly past. And the Ian Dury Cover. I have no idea how they're going to be able to match that on the mountain stage. And for slugger, here's Little Joe being introduced as the new Eels drummer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pcua_F80Shw&t=2919s (but watch the whole set- one of my favourite GM sets despite them not playing very many of my favourite Eels songs) |

Of course yes to the Baobabs (I fucking love you!).
And to Melin Melyn
Hurray for the Riff Raff doing Pa’lante and Flaming Lips milking Do You Realise two other very emotional moments.

Dexys and Scritti Politti in 2012 were both brilliant.
Both times The War on Drugs played. I don't really dance or jump about at gigs much, but I did to them.
The Wedding Present are always great fun.
I think my favourite ever though must be Television doing the whole of Marquee Moon on the Mountain State in 2015. That was really special.

The proposal at the end of The Big Moon set was pretty special. For me it was Warren Ellis turning to the rest of the Dirty Three and instructing them to "start off slow, then go fuckin' bananas" (in a thick Aussie accent, natch)

That Dirty Three set was really special because it was played through a really atmospheric misty drizzle as dusk fell. I like it when the weather helps out.

I've seen so many amazing performances, but the one's that jump out right now are Swans in Far Out, Neutral Milk Hotel, William Onyeabor and Flaming Lips on Mountain Stage. Mega Faun did a great last set in Walled Garden too I remember. Dexys also.. Ask me tomorrow and I'll 5 different choices.

Reward on offer!
Can't remember the year.
Can't remember much after...
