5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful nostalgic trip down Festival memory Lane-, 18 Sep 2007

By	Stephen R. Leach "steveleach" (Reading, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been going to the Reading Festival most years since the late eighties and have been waiting for a book like this to come along for a long time. The weekends spent at the Festival fly by and sometimes you wonder if it really happended - this book confirms to you IT DID!! Oh yes, IT DID!!

Brilliant accounts from festival goers and band members alike retelling their own personal experiences from visiting and playing the most infamous festival of them all. Massive names have contributed. Just goes to show you how much this Festival means to all.

If you have ever been or want to know what it is like going the the daddy of all festivals - buy it now!

Oooh - i nearly forgot - i appear on one of the photos on page 123, what a coincedence. Oh yes, it did happen all right.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reading Rocks!, 11 Sep 2007

By	M. Horton - See all my reviews

What a great read!!!! As a regular festival goer this book brought back many memories of past festivals (both good and bad). It accounts events and experiences from each year the festival has been run, through the eyes of band members, regular festival goers and officials alike, with superb photos through out. If you've ever been to the festival or would like a taste, buy it now!
