Glastonbury 2000

The crowd at Glastonbury that year was estimated at a quarter of a million people.{{cite tweet | user=MikeGarson | number=1408409902083543040 | date=25 June 2021 | accessdate=25 June 2021 | title=I was standing backstage with David and bandmates preparing to perform at Glastonbury 21 years ago.}} Bowie asked pianist Mike Garson to "warm up the audience" before the show started on his own, like he had done before Ziggy Stardust's retirement show nearly 30 years earlier.{{cite tweet | user=MikeGarson | number=1408409903824130053 | date=25 June 2021 | access-date=25 June 2021 | title=I felt David’s apprehension.}}

Glastonbury co-organiser Emily Eavis commented, "I often get asked what the best set I've seen here at Glastonbury is, and Bowie's 2000 performance is always one which I think of first. It was spellbinding; he had an absolutely enormous crowd transfixed. I think Bowie had a very deep relationship with Worthy Farm and he told some wonderful stories about his first time at the Festival in 1971, when he stayed at the farmhouse and performed at 6am as the sun was rising. And he just played the perfect headline set. It really was a very special and emotional show."{{cite web|url=https://www.davidbowie.com/blog/2018/10/2/bowies-glastonbury-2000-performance-due-november|title=Bowie's Glastonbury 2000 performance due November|website=David Bowie|date=2 October 2018 |access-date=25 December 2018}} Garson said that of all the times he played with Bowie on stage, the Glastonbury show was his favorite.{{cite tweet | user=MikeGarson | number=1408409913420701697 | date=25 June 2021 | accessdate=25 June 2021 | title=Then David walked out.}}

Emily's father Michael, the founder of the festival, first met Bowie at Glastonbury in 1971. He said: "He's one of the three greatest of all-time: Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and David Bowie."
