Yeah, generally, the older you (and everyone gets), the further you go back, it's directly correlated.The sound is so good nowadays on the main stages I don't bother to get towards the front, generally I will be happy to be somewhere near the soundstage (my meeting point is always left side of the soundstage) but I've been further back for the big acts Stones and Arcade Fire for two. And one of the pluses of being a bit further back is that you can see the big tellies without your view being blocked by flags. And yeah, I'm quite happy to watch sets of bands I want to see on my tod, like the aforementioned North Mississippi Allstars.
I was in the mix for Arcade Fire, it was unreal, there's much more of an adrenaline buzz being right up there, which I suppose is more important when you're younger.
I've been to see the odd band on my own, but It's a rarity at Glasto or any festival, you can tell that just by looking around. Most of the time I ended up on my own is after going in the pit, or over the top
