Loving Third World at the moment - happy, bouncing reggae!

That’s Rianne Downey (above), seen her in Warrington with Paul Heaton, amazing talent.
Missus managed to get very close to the action today. And she was on TV as well! I didn’t see her as I was out on my bike….
She won’t thank me for this pic!
Jacob Collier presenting the case against music theory.
Maggie Rogers is not someone I'd heard of before. Really liking it. Nailing the vocals.
How does a Glasto virgin actually get tickets then? Wife and I have tried four or five times without success.
Manics! Straight into a classic
He does look less like an angst ridden youth adrift and more like my GP now though
Loving Rick & Blossoms 🤣
I mean, Morrissey is a colossal tit clearly, but the songs! To see a whole crowd most of whom weren't even born singing them back. How are they nearly 40 years ago?
Yep, Rick and Blossoms were 'kin great!
I mean, Morrissey is a colossal tit clearly, but the songs!
Aye, those songs are just so good. The heroism and mundanity of everyday life.
"I was looking for a job and then I found a job,
"And heaven knows I'm miserable now"
That was a cracking set by the Manics!
Now if I was there, I’d have to choose between CATQ or LDR but thanks to the magic of iPlayer I can watch both!
Watched the Lewis Capaldi set, I hope he's OK. he really beat himself up.
Rick and Blossoms - Glasto legend stuff!! Just great.
The Pretenders killing it on the Park Stage.
I've just caught the audience choir bit of Jacob Collier, that was quite brilliant.
<p style="text-align: left;">Guns N Roses off to a flyer. Axl's voice sounds healed from last year. Thank god, as I'm seeing them on Tuesday night!</p>
Gnr sounding good so far, slash had one of those EGCs, which was nice. Axles voice sounds shot though
The sound mix for TV was been crap again. Was watching unknown mortal orchestra before and sound was so thin, although songs were amazing
I wish they would stop changing the camera every 2 seconds during GnR.
Was that an auto cue 🫣
Is it a mic volume thing or is he just not signing?
The mic isn't it. The backing vocal is still there and I'm sure he's singing.
I'm enjoying gnr a lot. Was just going to tune in for a bit of the spectacle but I'm buying into the whole show. Guitars sound great
Definite mic too low.
Slash is sounding phenomenal. Interesting there's no wall of Marshalls on stage. I'm assuming he's gone down the digital route
Who on earth goes to Glastonbury and watches Lizzo, when GnR are on the adjacent stage??
The mind boggles..
Slash is a rock god!! 🤘
Slash is destroying most of Somerset right now
He is certainly carrying this show tonight!
I've turned off. I think I want my memory of them live to be the '92 gig in Paris.
Just tuned in to see is GnR was any good. Great so far !
Leftfield are stunningly good.
Currently mullering Slither.....
(Dead and bloated would have been more apt.)
Axle's gran is doing a great job of covering for him.
What a shower of sh1t , even Duff looks embarrassed.
GnR has been way better than expected. Axle sounds alright from what I can hear from the from the low mike level. 61 years old!
Never heard of Jacob Collier before, but he ain’t half talented
GnR I hope it sounds better than he sounds on the telly box
why is there such a delay between playing and broadcast ?
Rick Astley was pretty good as the Smiths
Also not heard Jacob Collier before, whole band were so good. The woman on vocals during the part I saw was incredible.
Slash looks like a prune
Axl sounding good?
Are you deaf? He is awful. The band are good, the singing is pub singer level.
<p style="text-align: center;">Aha. A replacement Mic for Axl. Warming up now, as is my experience you need to wai through the first 45 minutes. </p>
Axl looks way fitter and with it than I was expecting.
Slash really can play but I do worry about him jumping off that box, he might put his hip out.
Rocket Queen? I can't hear Axl - crap mic.
But yes, Axl has shed a few pounds - not so much Sweet Pie O' Mine anymore 🤣
Surely Axls mix level issue must be deliberate somehow (minimising crap singing?). No chance it’s not been noticed and there will be backup mics and people massaging the sound mix live a plenty for a tour of this size.
Sound engineer needs to wake up!
He struggles with the falsetto stuff on the likes of Estranged but his voice seems fine elsewhere
Stop what you’re doing.
West Holts.
Loyle Carner.
from the start. Sorry, but Pretenders, GnR, Manics. Old news.
Loyle had so much talent and delivers. Time and time again.
Why the need to excuse sub par performances with caveats of good for age, etc.
I've struggled up until now to remember what Axl Rose 2023 reminds me of.
I've got it. It is the Dick Nixon masked bankrobber in Point Break.
"I'm not a crook!"
To be fair Slash can still axe.
Where the **** is all the other stage stuff? Couldn’t give a shite about a poodle hair tribute band…. Where are CATQ or LDR?
They are one of those bands where it’s just a miracle that they are still alive, on stage and able to play.
Slash has the fingers of a 20yer old.
You don't see onstage amps any more because everyone uses in-ears . Slash will probably have old-school valve amps in the back to get the sound but they will plugged into quiet speaker cabinets or similar to go into the PA/onstage mix in the ears

On iPlayer. CATQ just started 5 mins ago on Woodsies stage (new name for John Peel)
Slash has the fingers of a 20yer old.
You should see the rest of his collection.
It’s just been pointed out to me how much axl looks like ian Beale..

I have a theory that all men over 50 morph into Ian Beale.
I thought it was Shaun Ryder fronting GnR for the first few mins
Why the need to excuse sub par performances with caveats of good for age, etc.
GnR have been know for their erractic performances since the beginning. It’s nothing new.
I forgot how, despite the low slung Les Paul “rock” style, when there is anything complex to play Slash lifts the guitar up into what is basically a Classical guitar position. How does he hold it there though? Les Paul’s aren’t light and he’s using his hands to play, not hold guitars up.
“At 50, everyone has the face he deserves“. George Orwell
GNR - shite, couldn't hear Axl
Lana Del Ray - didn't bother watching as last time she played Glasto she was shitting herself and it was crap.
Christine and the Queens. Boring sameness
FBS - yeah, he's honed his craft.
Leftfield - no newer stuff. I've done the older albums to death
I'm going bed. I think I'm getting old.
nothing to do with being old, you're just being a midge.
I need to trawl through the earlier/other stage stuff. Last year I discovered Confidence Man & Amyl and the Sniffers.
Axl seems to need new batteries. Also: is his facelift from the same mould as trump’s?
Erm I think Axl should stop now. Fabulous music but his comedy high pitched voice is a bit grim. It would be better if he mimed.
Dave ffng Grohl
Thought G’n’R were going for the most bizarre cover award with only women bleed just before knocking on heavens door
Thoroughly enjoying FBS live on iPlayer
My sister: Axl looks/sounds like Mick Hucknall’s ugly, tone deaf twin
FBS dropping Maxi and Faithless into the mix was an awesome moment.
GnR are superb, if you're tuning in for great vocals then you are wasting your time - it has been this way since day one all those years ago.
Slashtonbury
Enjoyed GnR. Better than AM yesterday as a spectacle IMO.
Expected dodgy vocals TBH but better than I thought he'd be. Loved Civil War especially. Slash is (still) quite good though isn't he?
Currently watching Loyle Carner. Has already triggered a trip to Amazon.
Fatboy slim was the dogs bollox, I dread to think how long it took to edit and build that set, I lost count at 300 edits and started bum shuffling in my seat, that’s definitely one set to record the audio from.
Chrissie Hinde is the coolest 71 year old!
This. Their set was brilliant, perfect vocals, incredible guitar work, Jonny Marr (and Dave Grohl) and cool as ****.
Third World had a great set.
Looking at shots of the audience it struck me that it will be quiet day in IT, HR, Finance etc departments up and down the country tomorrow.
All the senior managers and directors who normally do the haranguing will be nursing hangovers from Glastonbury or chucking a sickie.
And let's not dress this up. Guns N Roses were god awful. Erratic performance this, incredible they're still going that, blah, blah. They were awful.

Accurate. Perfect Sunday morning laugh. Thank you.
