[Closed] Glastonbury coverage thread

Nice weather ! Who's this on now? (Pyramid)

The drummer seems to have got hair dye on his face when touching up the beards.

I only like concerts in the dark, but there's s certain magic when you get that sunset/twilight combo at Glastonbury

I'm a big fan but this is a bit underwhelming.

edit: ZZ Top I mean.

edit: so far.

edit: hang on, my toes are starting to twitch.

That goes for all outdoor gigs, but agreed.

@ plop.

Well I'm coming from the other direction, so we've probably hit on the same conclusion 😆

They messed up there lol.

Are you F------kin READY?

zed zed top on in the background

they are a bit sloppy, tbh.

White Denim on the red button. Awesome as always.

I'm watching live on iplayer?

But don't know who they are???

Got to say I'm liking Foals...

I'm now watching The Blossoms from earlier.

#is good#

Loved ZZtop and the Foals are rather good 😀

ZZ Top were rifftastic, as expected. Dusty is recovering from a shoulder injury, and so having trouble with his bass.

The Reverend Willy G still turns out some superb guitar work, and that guitar he was playing was stunning!

Got Muse set to record to watch later on as well.

Ah! That explains it.

Yep, he can play some, but not all of a gig, so he's got a custom bass keyboard set up. Complete with keyring!

Been watching the red button. Some funky Russians with the lead singer from The Fine Young Cannibals on vocals.

underworld on atm.

MUSE time

Muse doing the headline spot proud. Amazing how good they sound live.

Got Muse set to record to watch later on as well.

Brilliant throughout the early-mid naughties, then turned to sh1t IMO.

Was a big fan 10 years ago.

I like their jackets

Are Muse like a modern prog rock band?

only put it on for hysteria

Matt Bellamy is one hell of a guitarist

Are Muse like a modern prog rock band?

Yes.

And that's a good thing! Watching live and it's gooooood.

Are Muse like a modern prog rock band?

They don't contain quite as much ****ery as the classic prog bands, or even modern bands, such as Tool, but you could probably describe them as a commercial prog band.

Commercial Prog Rock with good jackets

I liked that Christine & the Queens woman gyrating on the grass.
But that reggae band? What was the point in that? It's like a rock band coming on and playing Bill Haley covers. ugh.
(that's all I've seen of it btw)

James were spot on too.

He's gone a bit Freddie Mercury now

Nowt wrong with that.

White Denim on the red button. Awesome as always.

Never heard of them but caught last 2 songs on iplayer - was captivated, they are something special I'm quite gobsmacked by it! Underworld atm, making me smile a lot. Karl's in fine voice.

Riffing on the Zep! Awesome

Always been a bit of Queen in the newer Muse stuff. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I do prefer the earlier work. As said before, Bellamy is a quite astonishing guitarist at times, especially considering he sings too.

They sound HUGE.

Thanks for the tip on Underworld, I was waiting for them to come on scheduled TV after Muse. Cannot wait to see them at the end of July. Glad you liked White Denim.

The Kaoss Pad is out!

Not my cup of tea but that George Garrett(?) is a very talented fella. Similarly, not my usual, but Roisin Murphy had a certain, if nuts, presence

Nowt wrong with that

Savages were amazing.

God I hate Muse. So pompous. Horrible.

Muse + Zep = YES!

Thank god Muse are over. Soulless. Looking forward to Underworld. Wonder if Mmm Skyscraper is part of their live set.

No, but Rez/Cowgirl was storming. Great crowd too. Supersmashingawesome 😀

You describe Muse as soulless and then go on to mention Underworld in the same sentence? Weird.

James opening Glastonbury with Tim Booth on form as usual, Underworld just now-Dark Train and Rez , have seen them both already this year but would have loved to have been there today.

Will watch Foals tomoz as they have some good energy live from what I've seen of them previously

Lots of Beaucoup Fish stuff, which is awesome.

Very well... but i want to discuss different topic. bellow this,

All the above mouse baits can be used to kill mouse,rats and rodents in home, garage and farm without any additional equipment and Also, these baits can be used as best bait for mouse traps to lure the mouse to the rats and mouse into the trap using their food grade ingredients and strong smell.

Not sure if Muse would fall for a Mouse trap.

[i]bellow this[/i]

CAPS usually indicates this

So far I've only seen the last couple of minutes of Zed Zed Top, I couldn't see anything else on the red button that was interesting last night, like James, who I was never that interested in until I saw them at the IoW Festival last year and realised what a fine live band they were, and how many really good songs they'd released over the years.
Tim Booth does a great line in crowd surfing, although they may not allow that at Glastonbury.

I'm loving Ernest Ranglin & friends at the moment ,on the red button coverage.
Fo'sho'.:-)

Has there been any coverage of the Ozrics?

Senor j have you stayed on for the whatsit doodah Orchestra?

No, I went with the1975. Looked interesting .

Somewhat outre

🙂

Surprised to find that Adele is white.

Wolf Alice, ace.

Surprised to find that Adele is white.

is that due to the change in acts this year?

 

enjoyed wolf alice. adele going do a good set im sure

I don't get it: What is it with Adele? It's average, competent music, but has been done a thousand times and a lot better.

Fat Boy Slim was awesome tonight .

not doing it for me atm, deff not pyramid stage material

It's not even MOR. It's depressing in it's banality.

I'm giving New Order a go.

yes ' crystal'

Blue Monday later?

Tame Impala sounded ace. Can't get away with Adele's music.
The grime Lady on earlier,from brum whose name escapes me ,is far more like it.

I caught James last night. Nice to see Mrs Moses in the front row! Now I know that she really is at Glastonbuty with her mates 🙂

Watching new order on red button. Barney really can't sing.

No, I turned off after realising that.

settled with james blake. rather good

Barney never could sing. Doesn't stop his flat, deadpan vocals working bizarrely well in the context of their music.

However, if he wasn't in there already, can we add Stephen Morris to that best drummers thread from a while back?

Man you guys are easily pleased.
I think I'm yet to hear a good mixing, the sound seems all over the place on every set. Have the BBC screwed up here?

Muse, sounded drawn out and quickly got bored - as usual.
Adele, pfft, whatever. Is she doing some kind of an impression between songs, or is that [i]genuinely [/i]her personality?
New Order, took me a while to get into it - probably till Tempation. Again, sound was a bit crap.
Mercury Rev - better, uplifting, good effort.
Underworld - FFS, One irritating hit massively overplayed 20 years ago. Give us a rest.
Foals - good performance, sound a bit all over the place again.
James - I'm a huge fan but Tim seemed to struggle last night. I've heard him complain of voice problems this year, hope he's ok.

Humph..... I'm disappointed the BBC didn't show all of Chvrches set 😮

Can't beat a bit of Churches.

Can't find chvrches on iplayer yet either, the bit I saw last night was fantastic, I love them.
