Anyone still watching?
PMc is awful. Even Dave Grohl can't save him. Appreciate what he's done before and the history etc but sometimes you have to do the right thing and in this case it's stepping aside and letting the youngsters have their turn. So disappointing for a Saturday night headline.
Bloody hell, Springsteen!
Tbh, I was dreading Macca, but I'm impressed.
If I was there I'd be bloody delighted by that set.
I know. I read it in the Guardian live feed an hour ago and didn't want to blurt it out!!!!
I’m still hoping for a guest appearance by Ringo, to end the evening with a rousing chorus of “Yellow Submarine”.
surprisingly good!
I would say, after that, Paul go out on a high and enjoy your retirement.
Didn't watch, but listened to a bunch of Mccartney's set on the radio, way better than I expected tbh. Some good chat too (and some meandering Grampa Simpson stories).
If I'd been there, I'd have gone along for a couple of songs in the hope it'd be so instantly terrible that I could leave, and then when people say "OMG you were at glastonbury, did you see Macca?" I could say "Aye, it was shite", like I do with the Pixies. But I was enjoying it tonight. Would have been a good one to find a decent vantage spot and get some beers and a curry
Just catching up on some other stuff. Skunk Anansie rocking it. They deserved more recognition over the years. Skin's still got a great voice.
Caught the end of Macca - that was pretty good!

Exactly my plan when he headlined in 2004! I stayed for the whole set, he was great.

Same here. I bet Frome the night before for the surprise warm-up gig was great too.

I rather enjoyed Olivia Rodrigo, but don’t tell anyone.Her backing band were spot on.
I also enjoyed Haim. There, I said it.

Conversely I thought he was pretty bland, he opened with Jet iirc,
We went to Basement Jaxx instead, they were great

All of this
No-one mentioned Megan Thee Stallions performance yet? Was quite the show.
Went to see Jungle in Bristol last night. Caught Ibibio Sound Machine as one of the support acts who were great. Jungle were waaayyyy better than I was expecting.
Anyway, we were still in the mood for a bit of live music when we came back so put Sam Fender’s set on. Wowzers. I just love him so much. Unashamedly bringing the sax back into rock music. 😀
Not a fan of Macca, but watched it and thought he got it right as the Saturday headline. Especially impressive considering his age.
Thought Noel was good too.
Watching the Mary Chain and doing my ironing at the moment.

I don't mind some of the Wings stuff, but each to their own.
just to prove the different folks / strokes; I started Amyl and the Sniffers on the basis a few have seen them recently and enjoyed. I don't mind loud shouty music at all, but this just didn't do it for me. Now back to the test match instead.

MrsRNP told me to turn off Sleaford Mods yesterday😕 - she's getting old.
How much did Burn a Boy's backline cost? Must have been 30 performers up there!
Couldn't help being reminded of Fela Kuti with that performance, a generation ago the only place you were likely to hear Afrobeat was Glastonbury, it felt like things had come full circle, with Afrobeat now being part of the global mainstream.

I loved it. Right up my street.
PSA:
The Park Stage has had a TBA against it for a while for the 1815 slot; just been checking who's on elsewhere and it's now changed to Jack White

An expressive drummer. And noodling wig-out riffs.
I'm tapping out.

I have an armchair theory that the technically better musicians become, the worse they sound.
ah come on; nws differences in taste this is proper rock n' roll performance.
MrsMC has just flicked round the channels and stumbled across Diana Ross - sadly her voice sounds like it giving up.
Got Ms Ross on at the moment, and gotta say, she’s really off-key! What little bits I’ve heard of Macca, he was carrying the tunes, but it’s like DR’s fold back monitor system isn’t working properly, she’s pretty flat.
Going to sort out the animals, then dropping round to my cousin with her birthday card, so Glastonbury is getting turned off now.
The words that strike fear into the entire audience of anyone playing the ‘Legends’ slot…
and now for some new material
Listening to JW on 6 sounds pretty good to me
Just caught up on Roisin Murphy - wow!
Turnstile on the peel stage were great. Hard to define. Punk/rock/metal? 🤙

Strong Beastie Boys vibes.
but it’s like DR’s fold back monitor system isn’t working properly, she’s pretty flat.
If she is only getting the occasional bit of feedback that can set off a chain reaction.
Got a few things to catch up with then after being at work all day, squid, amyl, Fontaine's, warmduscher, Jack White.
Started to watch Sleaford mods yest, but I could tell the wife wasn't into it so I'll watch them another time.
Favourite acts so far have been confidence man and gabriels.

Ha ha
Angélique Kidjo covering Talking Heads. This is the stuff.

Wouldn't want to be caught in the middle of that!
Anyone know what’s happened to the McCartney set on BBC iPlayer - doesn’t seem to be there?
Jarvis not delivering the classic set I think the crowd want, but I'm strangely enjoying it, while sort of watching through my fingers.

BBC keep saying 'soon'. It's on Sounds now I think.

I really enjoyed that Jarvis set!
how old is that song ‘…. are still running the world’? Yet it feels ever more relevant!

Saw a Jarvis solo thing a while back that definitely felt a bit like watching a nervous breakdown...
Loved the JARV…IS set, but then I knew what to expect from this band. And that is… NOT PULP.
In ♥️ with Kacey Musgrave's hunters
Thanks for the reply.

Seems to be quite a few things missing from the app at the moment.
Kendrick Lamar is on soon....
Am I the only one who thinks the start of his new song sounds like something from Flight of the Conchords???
Was hoping to see ghost, ltj bukem and goldie on iplayer but not there unfortunately. Apart from skunk anansie, there's nothing on iplayer that floats my boat.
And Sleaford mods..... God knows why anyone would pay to watch that. A guy jumping up and down with a laptop of precorded backing beats and a bloke shouting.
This is ****ing awesome. He’s so good.
McCartney set is up.
Bicep now then I’ll catch up on lorde and that’ll do for me
Hmmm, on the iPlayer now and can't find Amyl. Too soon after they were live?
Have to say McCartney has been a lot better than I expected. I've nearly cringed to death any time I've heard him live in the last 10 years but he's been far better here. Band are tight too which helps
I love Kendrick Lamar, but I'd much rather listen to an album, where I don't have to hear 1000s of white kids screaming along trying to prove how well they've learned the words. Its truly grim.
Kendrick Lamar is on soon….
And turned over 5 minutes later as it was truly dreadful and unlistenable. No idea what the lyrics were. If that’s the best of hip hop then it’s in trouble Dancers were well choreographed
Kendrick Lamar has no flow. Madly overrated.
All looks good tho.

You can go to the livestream, watch from start and fast forward through to the right time (times at the bottom are clock time, at least on mine). Or watch from now and wind back.
theotherjonv - great! Thanks.
Bicep are the broadcast highlight of the festival for me, bonobo were also good but real shame the chemical brothers couldn’t make it due to covid
Enjoying the trip down memory Lane with the pet shop boys greatest hits set
thanks for that . Mighty set from Angelique Kidjo👍
It really was. Shame it was tucked away a bit.
"I love Kendrick Lamar, but I’d much rather listen to an album, where I don’t have to hear 1000s of white kids screaming along trying to prove how well they’ve learned the words. Its truly grim"
Kind of feel the same, thought that the vision mixer must have been working overtime, making sure the camera cut away from Carol from Milton Keynes, sat on the shoulders of Jason from accounts whilst belting out the N word with zero sense of self awareness.
I love hip-hop but its not exactly sing along stuff is It?..
"Kendrick Lamar has no flow"
Says the man with no rhythm.

Was worried at the start when Chris Lowe was hidden away! Full on nostalgia set that one. Only two songs from recent decades.
Khruangbin for me, from Fridays park stage. What a sound, effortless groove, break beats, eastern, surf, psych, ennio Morricone, Apache. Lots of tunes familiar from radio 6 too.
just catching up on Khruangbin, and into the Miserylou/Apache cover, which was a surprise.
Great tones, top groove. And apparently that's a £300 bass; albeit with upgraded bits. Just like I'm sure Tom Pidcock would kick any of our arses on a Halfords bike, if you have it you have it.
Bicep is going down well… get the subwoofer going…

Ok boomer.
Just caught some of Biceps set on the telly, gonna have to revisit that on Iplayer (tomo when the missus is out and I can crank the volume up) looked/sounded awesome.
Finished on a high note by watching Bicep. Love them and they did not disappoint.
Not been to Glastonbury for 22 years now (how time flies) but am tempted to go to the next one. Even if there's no one on you particularly love there's so much other nonsense happening, it's great

Just a fantastic set. Talk about musical journey, I left out funk, disco and Americana and then into a house medley at the end ?! snap/crystal waters/big fun
What a band

Listening at 97db @ 2meters here in my living room, absolute highlight of the festival for me. Gonna have a 2nd listen

Badoom tish!
I think it left her a bit of a mountain to climb…
Was hoping to see ghost
Saw them supporting Metallica three years or so ago. Metallica were awesome, ghost I just wanted the set to finish
Bonobo
Burna Boy
Bicep
All really good, enjoyed from my lounge at least. Might move to a different letter next.
Courtney Barnett!
