  • Start of show: 'Hello, eager listeners. Look, I know you've got me marked down as a miserable sod, but since I last spoke to you, I've had a wonderful week. Not only the European Championship finals (more of that later), but also the Glastonbury Festival: an utterly magical event. And who was man of the match? Lou Reed? Tom Verlaine? Carter? Primal Scream? Mark E. Smith? The Levellers? Van Morrison? No: it was this man.'
  • John raves about his recent visit to the Glastonbury Festival, the first time he had been since the inaugural event in 1971 (although this isn't borne out by his Disc & Music Echo column of July 10, 1971, in which he said he regretted not going to the festival. He may well have attended the 1970 festival), when the Pink Fairies track in the list was recorded (it was released in 1972, on the soundtrack album of Peter Neal's documentary film of the festival).
  • He plays three tracks by artists he saw there (Tom Jones being the act he rates above all the others: in fact, he considers getting hold of the tape made of this performance and broadcasting it as a session, which never happened).
  • He reveals that the LSO track he plays a short portion of induced him to make an attempt to get Margaret Thatcher in for a session. Unsurprisingly he was turned down, as he claims the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Sex Pistols did before (the last is not a true claim: John Walters decided not to book them as he took an instant dislike to Johnny Rotten, and subsequently regretted it).
