The makers of a new movie about the Glastonbury Festival are appealing to fans who might have certain legendary Glasto performances on video. Footage of several of the sets film director **Julien
Temple** wants to include in his new film about the festival - due in 2006 - are sadly lacking.
Among the sets on Temple's wish list are Marc Bolan (1970), **David
Bowie (1971), The Smiths (1984), Primal Scream (1992) and Bob
Dylan** (1997).
The
Bowie set at what was really the first Glasto proper in 1971 is a particular priority for Temple: "David Bowie is the interesting one. He played at the first proper festival in 1971 at 4am. He wasn't famous at the time and that performance is almost the Holy Grail of festival acts. I was actually at Glastonbury when he played. Someone woke me up saying 'you have to check this guy out'. He was absolutely amazing and I'd love to see any footage from a personal point of view."
As for Bolan's performance at Michael Eavis' very first Glasto event, Temple says it would be "extraordinary" if there was a tape of his performance, but says it is not impossible:
"I have seen some footage from behind-the scenes, so we know there were cameras there".
