Ok it's time for a thread. The BBC Glasto twitter account is hinting at Elton John it would appear. Not sure if he'd play the legends slot or what but we have something at last!
Well I have to say despite not a huge Guns and Roses fan that was a pretty epic set. In their 60's and still giving it 100%
Guns n Roses 🙌🙌🙌
Axl had some iffy moments with his voice but I just love the songs, band etc and as for Slash jeez that man can make any guitar sing 🎶 🎸🎸 Delighted I got to see them
Just shows how rubbish the TV mix was. I’m not saying axl didn’t have iffy moments vocal wise as he did and that not changing.
I wonder can they redo the TV mix after the live broadcast for on demand.
Much better live
Thoroughly enjoyed that. I was brought up on guns n roses though. Axl obviously can't hit those notes anymore, but still unreal. What a band. Pity Matt sorum wasn't brought back at the same time as duff and Slash.
So we had Victoria's Secret (aka Ann Summers) and people talking on stage. Rap I think, garbage in my book. Slash great, still hope for REAL musicians
Lana, such a beautiful voice. Class
Who’s this girl on BBC now?
Great voice, looks a bit shy.
EDIT Lana del Rey. Aware of the name but never really heard her before.
Apparently Lana was 30 minutes late and the crowd was angry. Personally, I find her so dull.
BBC only showing one song from Maneskin and choosing Beggin. Ugh.
They pulled the Mike on her at the end as she was late, continued singing and the crowd joined in
Yeah I think her fans who stuck around were obviously upset that she couldn't finish her set, which I understand. Friend who's there said lots left at the start though, very annoyed - and apparently her excuse was her hair?!
Didn't see GNR,but have they rescued one of the worst Glastonbury opening 2 nights ever,3rd night mighten be great either. Every time I turned in has been brutal and the monkeys were diabolically bad
I’ve never been so judging by TV only albeit with a lot more years than I’d care to admit.
Paul McCartney last year. Conscious that I’m a Beatles fan but I thought that set was amazing. Almost three hours at his age and his back catalogue. Not even getting into the guests. Amazing and one gig I’d have loved to be at..genuinely think those who were there witnessed something special.
Recency bias on the second. Arctic Monkeys last night. And not memorable in a good way. Seen them live a couple of times with most recent one being less than a year ago so more or less same set list but thought they were absolute **** last night.
for anyone who's not watched it, The Pretenders were fantastic. Hynde is just pure class.
Good night so far.
Managed to catch that yesterday. They were class. They're such a consistent band. So consistent that they're almost boring - as in I don't think people notice them (if that makes sense).
Somehow, about 15 years ago we managed to see them in the Ambassador. Unreal gig in what was a brilliant venue. JBD is an absolute powerhouse of musician - incredible singer and a savage guitar player as you say.
Is Axel Elon Musks older brother? Great performance from them even if the sound was a bit in and out on TV - plus 1 for the pretenders and Manis street preachers. Weather looked great also.
Kenny Rogers was a legend
+1 for that Portishead performance. They were literally perfect and the crowd was incredible, reverential when they were playing and exploding at the end of each song. Ever single second was bliss
That's definitely true, I never think of them/notice them! Didn't even know they were still around! Must rewatch their set now.
Petshop boys a number of years back. I watch it with my mother and she loved it
They completely smashed the 3Arena last Monday night - best indoor gig I can remember.
Chrissie Hynde one of the coolest people on planet earth. Leftfield were excellent for those who didn't see. GnR surprisingly good even if the vocal was hit and miss at times.
District 9 area? Looks class
Forgot how much I can’t stand fat boy slim
Nothing can beat being there for sure.....
BUT I really hope the BBC never stop doing this. Hands down the greatest TV event of the year, and has been a real mark of summer for as long as I can remember. They even do the cbeebies bedtime story from Glastonbury each night!! Last night one was about a band finally making it to the big time 🙂
Contrast that to when Sky Arts do it....Coverage of Isle of Wight was truly awful.
I think it's become incredibly popular the last few years too. My phone was absolutely hopping with messages during GNR, in all sorts of groups.
Trying to get all my jobs done today so I can dive in again from 5.
Watched the set today. Havnt seen them since 2011 at oxegen. They would bring you on an adventure alright. They really got going for last 25min.
I adore watching the crowd!!
Today's TV schedule. Will watch Slowdive, Editors, and The War on Drugs live, then probably Elton and watch QOTSA, Weyes Blood and Phoenix tomorrow when the recordings goes up
