I fucking love this video. There's a moment in the first chorus when the lights go on the crowd and I think it's the first time the band sees how insanely huge the mass of people is. You can hear their whole performance change after this song due to the lift they got from it. Amazing moment in one of the best Glastonbury headlining sets ever.
This band holds the record of performing to the largest crowd at any iteration of the Glastonbury festival. The record, set in 1994, stands today at 300,000 people.
What a load of absolute bullshit. The crowd for The Prodigy in 97 was bigger, so was the crowd for David Bowie in 2000. I'd love to know how you think 300,000 people watched the levellers when there was only 200,000 people- at the most- on the entire fucking site. 🍄
Levellers are truly awesome live. If you don’t have the app, highly recommend it, they are a fantastic group of guys and very engaging. Keep well all. We the collective x
Saw them live twice in the space of 3 years - first time amazing (as expected), second time they were headlining a festival and they played an acoustic set - talk about misjudgement - went down dysentery on the international space station. Always great to see Garth on keyboards though.
We'd had a hell of a journey, struggled to find a place to pitch the tents, wished we hadn't bothered, then drifted down to the main stage to hear this set. Instantly converted to levellers fans, which we've been for the last 28 years.
1994, I was in that mosh pit, I'll remember that night til the day I die.brought a lump to the throat and a tear to my eye watching that, thanks for sharing
Glastonbury, Avalon, the Island of the Celtic Goddess, Lady of the Lake, my home town, King Arthur and his Sword. And then so many centuries later The Levellers who proclaim that there is only your own way of life. Respect for them and for those who live their own To live. ❤️💥
17 years it's been since I was front and centre for this song and even after all that time the memory is still as bright as it always was. We weren't singing a chorus to a great song that night we were chanting the battle cry of a generation. I look around now and I see a world not too different to how it was back then. Maybe we lost our dream to cynicism, maybe it's too late for us to escape the trap we made for ourselves. Don't waste your dream young ones, push the world until it gives.
Takes me back to a time when we were still invincible, bound to conquer the world, dreaming up better futures, shifting paradigms, believing that together, nothing could stop us, forming our own reality, not taking for granted, what's been told to us.
I saw this band on a whim a few years back in Glasgow as I had hazy recollections of liking them and wow what a gig. All those great tunes came flooding back to me. Best gig I've ever been to easily.
Man, I am so jealous. I have seen the Levellers a couple of times, but I wasn't at this particular concert. It would have topped every concert I have ever been to.
@@carolrossi60 oh man, I envy you! I got the privilege of watching them last year before lockdown and oh my god. I wanted to cry. They were amazing, I can’t imagine what it was like here!
@@AndrewCockerillPhotography Glastonbury has given me so many happy memories it's magical....the music and atmosphere are out of this world....dont know how long my recovery would be now though 😉😀😀
Love listening to the levellers, reminds me of being a kid again. My dad used to love them so always had them on. Although now I prefer dubstep, Drum & Bass etc I still love listening to the levellers! Top band!
I was at this festy to see the Levellers a couple of years before in 1992.....the year of the fence stopping the travellers from getting in. It was probably the best gig I ever saw, the crowd was bouncing from start to finish ✌️
saw them for the first time last week in sunny brighton,such a fantastic community spirit that night,and when they encored with devil goes down to georgia just blew me away,an unforgettable night
Yeah loved LEVELLERS back in the day was at the legendary Glasto '92 sun shone for the whole weekend what a crowd and gig LELELLERS those were the days 😎👍.
Wow, this brings back memories! This was the first Levellers gig that I was allowed to go to by myself (had always gone with my parents before then, and still had to meet up with them afterwards!)I was down at the front and I just remember the excitement of being there and the noise of the crowd and it being one of the best Levellers gigs I have ever been to! I have seen them about 100 times since and I will be there tomorrow night too!!
my dad bought me an album when i was six, i think it was levelling the land, it was awsome and since then i kept listening to alternative music, i kinda left this band behind, never realizing that they would perform this good at a concert, best i've seen so far... now, 13 years later, i randomly picked it up again and sure im going to camp the internet untill i find out if they are going to perform somewhere near now, awsome band, LIVE PERFORMANCE SOUNDS LIKE A BONUS VERSION OF THE ORIGIONAL!!
I seem to recall too that this was before the bigger fences. A whole ton of people got in and I think the largest crowd ever for Glastonbury. All anyone was talking about in the lead up to it was The Levellers. That crowd size was so large, never saw one like it at Glastonbury before or since.
Probably one of the best gigs I've ever seen in my life. And I've seen everyone from the Pistols, The Ramones to Nirvana, and stadium fillersike U2 and the Stones. Timeless!
Oj Watts no it’s now ruined with a lot of mainstream crap and hip hop doesn’t seem to fit outdoor festival what annoys me is free festivals were stopped now government gets money festivals like glasto are welcomed
So discovered these guys in about 93 and they were the only reason I wanted to go to Glastonbury. But didn’t go and then it all got big and commercial. Day dreamed about them playing at our local venue and yes the dream came true. Fab gig where I also learnt about a certain festival.. now still love them but seen them so many times lol.. and found some new bands on the way (Slow Readers Club).. have the 92 show on cd and wish I had been there
Best live band period. So much energy and connection to the audience. Saw them for the first time way back in 1992 at Leicester University and again at the Halloween Town Festival in Bedford this year. Absolutely awesome.
Still the best live performance I have ever witnessed...... I'm glad I'm my age and got the early 90s to live through. From what little I can remember!
I was there with mates who travelled.over in a truck from Leiden in Holland squat. Managed to get into green field despite Evis. Had 3000 cans of Carlsberg Export we sold for £1.50/can and sold out first night. Financed rest of Glastonbury for us.
Had a great five or so years following them. Got called the oxford crew . Went to Paris , Busking near Notre Damn, Euro Disney when it first opened. Two coachloads travelled from London . The now wife , on top of a four high stack of friends, balancing twenty foot up with Mickey Mouse ears .Great days. unfortunately never to be repeated.
Levellers - One way - Live Glastonbury - Good Quality Thank U! Loved it! Großartig! Ich wünsche Ihnen Glück im neuen Jahr! Erfolg im Geschäft und Liebe!
25,000 people all shouting "There's only way of life of life and that's your own"...I love this band so much but the irony!!!???
You know you are not the first person to say that and I'm sure you won't be the last! There is a certain irony in that too! ;-)
:)
"Yes, we're all individuals!" Hmm, Life of Brian moment?

Steve Forest I was there. I work and I wash! 😆
Unquestionably, peak Glastonbury. Defining headline performance that bests any before or since. The right band, the right place, the right time.
I think Pulp tops it the following year
I was in the crowd for this one.
You are absolutely right. 👌🏼
@@andywood7784 I was there for Pulp and I didn’t rate it as much
@@claireallitt1740 both were great but Pulp was a perfect moment
Each to their own,I was there 97 and Radiohead would take some beating,either way still better times x
Glastonbury is now a celebrity show,absolute bollocks!

Never cheap, not motivated by ego and money. A band of brothers that don’t come along very often ❤️
🍻✅💯Fact Checked.
Exactly! Thats why we love them so much! ❤
Long Live Levellers
I agree bro but then that's probably why they are so despised by so many hanging on the dollar with a worthless house?
You're kidding right.
They're a fucking bunch of sellouts who are 100% motivated by money.
Fake plastic Traveller cunts.

I was there that night. And the performance was electric. Best headlining act at glasto by far. The Crowd loved it.
Possibly the best ever live performance at Glastonbury.
And arcade fire
Still a f*cking awesome band live today as they were 20 years ago.
Seen them last Thursday, all the oldies, still rocking. Thanks Levs 🙏🏼❤️
Great. Going Brum in June. Looking out for other dates. They have their own app now.
Levellers are truly awesome live. If you don’t have the app, highly recommend it, they are a fantastic group of guys and very engaging. Keep well all. We the collective x

One of the greatest Glastonbury performances ever! Legends!!!
Saw them performing in Amsterdam last thuesday. Playing a crowd of 500. Still giving everything. What a band.
22 years old, my first Glastonbury festival and my first (of many) Levellers gigs, happy days :-)
I remember this...an absolutely jaw-dropping moment from Glasto 1994. One of the best live performances I've ever seen
You weren’t there
We'd had a hell of a journey, struggled to find a place to pitch the tents, wished we hadn't bothered, then drifted down to the main stage to hear this set. Instantly converted to levellers fans, which we've been for the last 28 years.
@@stevewhiteba That’s not true.
@@stanmonzon5788 please elaborate. What's not true?
It was 92
That didge spread and rumbled through every single one of us bodies that night! Truly awe inspiring and magical!

Darran Wickham I was there too fkn amazing never forget 🤘🤘🤘
Darran Wickham me too!
Happy days.
Me too. Happy days.
That's what happens
Great band - perfect fit for Glastonbury. Sounding on top of their game too. What a crowd
They were the house band for glasto for years, I love beautiful days but they have played glasto less since it existed.

Wow i'm only reading this 9 years after you wrote it and I'm 47, but you are so right!!! Very touching words. So true!!!
I was there in 92 and 94, enough said "the best band ever" 120 thousand biggest crowd ever 1992
Yup,life changing night for me!
i was there, best Glastonbury ever!! 1994 - those were the days!!!
Takes me back to a time when we were still invincible, bound to conquer the world,
dreaming up better futures, shifting paradigms, believing that together, nothing could stop us, forming our own reality, not taking for granted, what's been told to us.
Let's do it again then...
I saw this band on a whim a few years back in Glasgow as I had hazy recollections of liking them and wow what a gig. All those great tunes came flooding back to me. Best gig I've ever been to easily.
" the words we thought would never stop..died a death when the punks grew up"
They didn't ..we are still punks.... and we are Levellers fans too.
that's well cool
The lyric is actually the noise we thought would never stop
Nothin wrong wi bein a punk and a levellers fan,,, 👌💯👌☝️☝️👊👊
Well the line was more to do with punks who sold out their ideals when they grow up and have to “conform”.
I was there. And they were excellent. Way before mobile phones. Now it's about headlining and not the music.
Man, I am so jealous. I have seen the Levellers a couple of times, but I wasn't at this particular concert. It would have topped every concert I have ever been to.
What an opening - a didgeridoo followed by that deep bass line.After that there's no stopping me jumping around the kitchen.
SNAP im doing just that right now! haha
Back when Glastonbury was good!
And you didn’t need your passport, dna sample and a small mortgage to get in.
I was in that crowd...oh happy days
@@carolrossi60 oh man, I envy you! I got the privilege of watching them last year before lockdown and oh my god. I wanted to cry. They were amazing, I can’t imagine what it was like here!

Love listening to the levellers, reminds me of being a kid again. My dad used to love them so always had them on. Although now I prefer dubstep, Drum & Bass etc I still love listening to the levellers! Top band!
Still listening to dubstep?
dam the last few minutes gave me goosebumps, u see the crowd jumping up and down, and hear them sing along over the actual sound.
I was at this festy to see the Levellers a couple of years before in 1992.....the year of the fence stopping the travellers from getting in. It was probably the best gig I ever saw, the crowd was bouncing from start to finish ✌️
日本人ですが、観ていると涙が出てくる。
本当に、言葉で表せないほど素晴らしい。
こんなライブを生で観れたら、生涯で最高の瞬間になると思う。
It's a good one!
Get yourself to solfest
I saw them yesterday in Doornroosje (Nijmegen, The Netherlands). I went completely nuts with this song: danced my feet off! FANTASTIC!!!!
saw them for the first time last week in sunny brighton,such a fantastic community spirit that night,and when they encored with devil goes down to georgia just blew me away,an unforgettable night
Back when Glastonbury was still brilliant
My all time favourite band.. Music is awesome.. crowd is fantastic.. always a great night.. and afterwards in the pub with the crowd
My favourite live band.. the crowd atmosphere is electric when they play
Great memories of this night! Phenomenal atmosphere!

My sons played football with them at Beautiful Days this year...then later we sang and danced to this song! Fantastic memories!
No mobiles, no flags, no front and back standing, no self indulgence just pure atmosphere and zeitgeist.
well said sadly different times now
First live band i ever saw. Glastonbury. Blew me away. Treasured memory.
I wish I was alive during this time so I could've seen this performance ;(
Kirsty Walford-Jones so get to Beautiful Days 😉

that is amazing footage ive been into the levellers for 20 years but never knew they had such popularity, the whole crowd is rocking, brilliant band
Amazing band... my all time favorite sond !!!... love em
I saw these guys once.. more than ten years ago in a tiny bar in Boston Mass. Can't wait for the chance to see them again. ♥ The Levellers!!!
I remember standing there in awe. This was one of the best live experiences thus far.
I envy you. I have seen them live a few times but not like this.
I seem to recall too that this was before the bigger fences. A whole ton of people got in and I think the largest crowd ever for Glastonbury. All anyone was talking about in the lead up to it was The Levellers. That crowd size was so large, never saw one like it at Glastonbury before or since.
I think this was 94 friday night headlining pyramid stage, I was there, the largest crowd ever seen for an act at Glastonbury, it was fantastic!
It was is still the best night of my life,,, 👌💯👌
I still remember it so clearly, fantastic night!
Me too!
Just 14
You weren’t one of those naughty Leveller-revellers who climbed onto the sound deck roof I hope? 😉🤘🏻

Until we all unite there will only be one way of life, but not sadly our own. Unite and make the dream reality.
i was there screaming along they rocked one the best experience i had at Glastonbury
they were the headliner at the first festival i went to in my life, awesome music
seen them live three times. they are always the best. and I mean the best, amazing
1 of the best live acts ever - FACT!!
Probably one of the best gigs I've ever seen in my life. And I've seen everyone from the Pistols, The Ramones to Nirvana, and stadium fillersike U2 and the Stones. Timeless!
To be in this crowd, feeling the hugeness of feeling just brimming over was one of my best gig moments I ever had. Still sends shivers up my spine!
Ahhh , the old days , when the crowd WASNT full of pricks waving flags !
Not a single person is holding up a feckin' mobile phone either. I miss those days of just living the gig in the moment!
I swear I was just about to type that.. f'kin flags have killed it!
