This is one of the best reviews you’ll read
We’re grateful to writer Ian Wade for sharing his review of Underworld’s appearance at Glastonbury in 1999.
It went viral because, well, have a read for yourself.
‘My Underworld review from Glastonbury 1999. Dictated down the phone to my editor after I’d done a pill. Oh dear.’ said @WadeyWade on Twitter.
And just in case you were wondering …

But did it really go in like that?
Aye! My editor was chuckling and a bit concerned.
