Saw this last night and thoroughly enjoyed it, especially with a fair bit of Pulp in the last ten minutes. They showed both the 2011 and '95 versions of Common People (with an excess of Russell) and also a few clips from Jarvis' previously unseen solo performance back in...ooh...when was it? 2009? Can't remember the date, but it was a brilliant show.
Yeah Jarvis solo was 2009. Don't remember seeing any footage on this doc though! Where was it? They definitely filmed his show but it was only ever shown online for some stupid reason
I watched the last bits on the iplayer, it said in the credits somewhere the whole thing was filmed in 2011, I didn't come across the 2009 solo bits in my flitting through, only the Common Peoples toward the end. The amount of Pulp-space does seem rather a lot considering that the purported point of the film appears to be that the big music stages are very dull and you should avoid them at all costs and go and be a proper hippy on the other side of the farm. I will try and catch the whole thing some time soon, maybe I am missing the point.
One of the other history of Glastonbury films concludes with Common People as the defining ethos of the whole festival concept, is that the Temple Glastonbury film or Festivals Britannia, it can all start to blur into one a bit at times?

We'll use the one thing we've got more of, that's our minds.
Temple also made Glastonbury the Movie and used the whole of Common People in the last ten mins of the film. He also got Jarvis to join him for the commentary, and was on the Sunday Service, where Jarvis said doing the commentary was awkward as he'd never seen it before.
Liltman, was it that bad? We'd got there early for Florence, who my other half was quite keen on seeing. She was pretty good. And then 'White Lies' who are one of the worst acts I've ever seen in my life. And now they're very big indeed. Ugh.
But anyway, we'd managed to get on the barrier by then, which is where we stayed for El Jarv. He finished with Disco Song if memory serves, which was pretty damn amazing. A few comments about what Glastonbury meant to him too, which was as close as he got to admitting he'd even been in Pulp throughout most of his solo career!
Ok, I've watched the programme properly now, I think the little bit of Jarv looking at the time - it was 3:30 but not time for tea and scones - was from when he dropped in on Discodeine's dance set and did Synchronise with them.
I didn't know Jarvis had made a Shangrila appearance. Argh! Hadn't known Discodeine were playing actually, but if I had, I think I might have put two and two together.
Seemed to be Stephen, although I arrived right at the start. If not packed it certainly felt it where I was, which was near the front at te left. Great gig though and yeah a great ending, topped off for me by getting into Mackey's stag do straight afterwards (okay I've mentioned it before but what the hell)! Yeah he appeared with Discodeine last year and also DJed in Shangri La
