In case you hadn't noticed, Glastonbury 2009 is on: time to stand in a field, see Kate/Sienna/whoever strutting around in short shorts and wellies, watch some grandstanding from legends and some supporting acts break huge.

If you didn't manage to blag a ticket (who's laughing now, have you seen the weather?) we've raided the archive (since 1984) for some of the greatest Glasto performances of all time. From career-defining singalongs at sunset to madferrit anthems in the afternoon. We've even dropped in a few of Michael Eavis' top picks. And he should know.

So sit back, grab a warm can of cider and allow us to make you really regret not being there – rain or shine...
