I used to go to Glastonbury every June and Reading every Bank Holiday August - I considered them the start and end of my summer holidays.
Stopped Glasto after 5 years of knee deep mud.
Stopped Reading shortly after.
One year, weeks after Kirk Cobain's death, Reading had Courtney Love on stage; she was awful; stoned; out of tune; desperate; barmy.
John Peel was there with me and disagreed - he thought she was magnificently brave just to be there.
I told him that was typical Peel; no interest in the music, just in the image (we were good friends and allowed to insult each other).
Backstage we were sitting on the ground when she came off stage far above us and sat, legs akimbo and clearly not wearing underwear, on the top step.
I looked at John and said "I think we've both just seen Courtney's Hole".
