Glasto!

Oh come on...he's not bad for 87!

(and it was a better performance than Macca managed at the Olympics closing ceremony...)

True! And he can still play the piano but I worried he might do a Tommy Cooper.

Why is Paloma Faith wearing trousers that look like Nora Batty's tights?

George Ezra was brilliant!!

I'm so glad that it's stopped raining on everybody [no pun intended there]...they all got drenched at Download the other week .

...I'm wondering if even my short fat legs would look better in a dress like Paloma Faiths....[did she change what she was wearing when merlot saw her?]??

...and how do they dance in shoes that i can't even walk in...

He sure was kitty

I'm looking forward to Pharrell Williams. So far I've had 'What a load of crap' from DH.

Why does it always rain on me, was it because I lied when I was seventeen?

It wouldn't be Glastonbury without some rain and mud, and people in beads and wellies, and some rubbish singing.

Not impressed that they cut Pharrell off mid-Happy...

Some real posers amongst the crowd, though...

I didn't like Florence and the Machine last night. I've tried to like her/them for years but can't. Watched most of it wishing Foo Fighters were on [ I've never much liked Foo Fighters either, but was hoping to be impressed by them live]. pooter has, yet again, stopped me watching utube so I can't check out the bands I have liked .

Pharrell is on red button now.

Enter Shikari and Wolf Alice were good. I started watching Wolf Alice, thinking that they were only popular because they had a beautiful blonde girl in the band, and then realised they were on my list of bands I'd heard on the radio that I'd really liked.

I thought Florence and the Machine sounded like an out of tune Julie Driscoll.

We watched Kanye West for five minutes but did the red button thingy when DH threatened to sleep with the chickens.

I'm sure they show mainly hip hop stuff on the telly and the good stuff is on the accoustic stages [they used to show much more of that]. Oh; Suede are on BBC4.

I hope Freddie wasn't listening tonight when Kanye did a wrong worded version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Outragous. I imitated "The Scream" painting when I saw him trying to do it on youtube (he didn't even know the words). I have yet to tell my son. I don't like the idea of that. Freddie and Queen are our heroes in this house. It's a shame they haven't done Glastonbury with Adam Lambert, now that would be brilliant.

The Who later tonight. I have to ring my dad, an old fan, and remind him to watch.

Btw, Burt Bacharach made me cry. I wouldn't have had my wonderful Carpenters cds and vinyls without him. A great man, wrote and produced some wonderful songs.

I heard some Burt Bacharach on the radio and I really hope they show the set again!

rubylady so glad I did not see the 'attempt' to sing a Queen song - I always admired them and loved their songs (in spite of the fact that advertisers irritatingly take snippets of them to advertise 'anything')

that aside - I understand remaining members of Queen (without John Deacon of course) had featured in the US with Adam Lambert as the front man - which says something about his ability as a singer.

thank you for the heads-up about The Who - (showing my age here but modern bands cannot hold a candle to them and their iconic songs) hope it is not on too late

grannyonce, I have seen Queen live twice many years ago and they were two of the best nights of my life. Freddie was a fabulous entertainer and I remember walking away from the theatre with ringing ears. I did think about having a look at Kanye attempting Bohemian Rhapsody but don't think my blood pressure would take it.
I still put Freddie CDs on while I am working in the kitchen.
Does anyone know what time The Who are on this evening please?

According to the website The Who are on the Pyramid stage at 9.45 Liz.

I don't know which TV channel will be covering it though.

Thanks merlotgran, I had just come back to say I had found it. From 18.15 on BBC2. I think I may record it so I can whizz through the bad bits. There seem to be a lot of them.

I hope Lionel Ritchie gets plenty of coverage.

I enjoyed the spectacular of Florence + The Machine (yes, she's a bit pretentious and dramatic) and really like a lot of her songs, so have got her new CD. Words fail me about Kanye West - the awfulness of him doing nothing for prolonged times on that empty stage made me wonder if something technical wasn't working? Or maybe he really was that bad?

I'll keep dipping in - Glastonbury can veer between stunningly brilliant and awful, and throw up some great surprises. Never fancied going myself, though - prefer concerts and hotels to festivals and camping.
