Glastonbury 2023

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%

Autosport · 25-06-2023 12:45AM

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.

Royale with Cheese · 25-06-2023 12:58AM

I wonder can they redo the TV mix after the live broadcast for on demand.

cena · 25-06-2023 12:59AM

Much better live

optiplex780 · 25-06-2023 01:03AM

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.

forumdedum · 25-06-2023 01:10AM

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

forumdedum · 25-06-2023 01:17AM

Lana, such a beautiful voice. Class

Collie D · 25-06-2023 01:21AM

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.

Hippodrome Song Owl · 25-06-2023 01:30AM

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?!

DJIMI TRARORE · 25-06-2023 01:50AM

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.

scruff monkey · 25-06-2023 02:21AM

for anyone who's not watched it, The Pretenders were fantastic. Hynde is just pure class.

MadYaker · 25-06-2023 02:38AM

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.

riddles · 25-06-2023 08:45AM

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.

cena · 25-06-2023 12:27PM

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.

dasdog · 25-06-2023 01:15PM

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

25-06-2023 02:24PM

Forgot how much I can’t stand fat boy slim

RINO87 · 25-06-2023 02:25PM

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.

25-06-2023 02:29PM

I adore watching the crowd!!

crl84 · 25-06-2023 02:30PM

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
