    Open to suggestions for some other great sets to check out from the event 

    Check out Stormzy's set on the web. I wouldn't call myself a fan but I was very impressed by the energy and the crowd were going mental.

    to be fair Glastonbury was founded on alternative - hippy/punk bands - Hawkwind etc - not large scale American rock - perhaps that what I struggle with - as a festival it has gone downhill , musically for me - but there is much else to still love there.

    I'd say Glasto's more recent headliners are more of a reflection on the current music scene rather than the festival itself.

    Home for the weekend.

    By chance... I had my Foo fighters t shirt from the olympia gig 17 years ago in the bag. Just put it on absolutely buzzing from that set.

    Regardless of The Who's, the hows and the music know it alls, everyone is a music connoisseur. Not a foo follower but that was 6 individuals delivering pure passion, special moment and amazingly entertaining, CLASS act, fearless

    The Amazons were pretty good. Think they were on the Peel stage and there was a band I never heard of that were pretty interesting. Keir I think they were called.

    It's not a case of "either/or" for Radiohead and Foo Fighters.... as the meme says.. why not both?

    Yep, I thought both were brilliant.

    Glastonbury was never punk. They hated it and Reading became the antidote to it's perceived bloat in the late 80s and early 90's by championing the punk/indie/grunge bands. Radiohead would have been more at home on a Reading stage up until 1995 or so.

    I'd pay large amounts of money to see a Foo Fighter show where they played half the show as a Queen tribute, with Taylor out front. Fantastic version of Under Pressure!

    think the terms have become blurred - Glasnbury was always an alternative festival - what constitutes punk and hippy have become merged a bit - Hawkwind and some hippy bands set the way for punk - Rotten loved Hawkwind - its an attitude to me. Anyway said my piece - goodnight - will watch the roundup.

    Not by the late 80's. It had a shocking image problem at the time and was verging on irrelevance. By 1991 Reading was the summer music festival to go to if you were in your teens or early twenties. Glasto was for mum and dad's generation.

    I'm about 15 mins behind on BBC2, Phoenix just over, some dude from NI with a beard doing something to his budy, reluctant to switch over as the temptation to rewind back to the beginning of Foos is mighty, am I missing anything on any other BBCs?

    Not a Foo Fighters fan, I barely recognised any of the songs tonight and they all seem a bit samey to me tbh. But from a performance point of view that's how you keep a crowd entertained for a couple of hours. It was fast, loud and relentless and the crowd were loving every minute of it.

    Personally I'm a Radiohead fan, but I could do without quite so much of the electronic bleeps and weird disjointed rhythms, although having seen them a bunch of times the songs do take on a different life when played live compared to the album versions. And I don't care if it's unfashionable now at this stage, but Creep is still my favourite Radiohead song and it was great to hear it live again.

    were ther not a lot of the new age travellers going ? I know thats how it founded - that particular era is a bit of a blur to me - was at an early punk Reading festival (epic) - sadly thats a bit of blur to me too - I was too young
