Glastonbury

[Robder]

None of the headliners were groundbreaking this year were they? Or is it just me?

The Killers were OK, the Chemicals were good (if a bit tired after all these years), some of the alternative stages were interesting tho.

I thought the novelty impact of Shirley Bassey was a good move but Kylie would've been so much better to fill this role.

Previous years have been so much more exciting imo but please prove me wrong...what did I miss?

I'm sure the atmosphere was amazing as usual tho.

i like the "kitsch" offering on a Sunday at Glastonbury


at T in the Park we're getting Avril Lavigne!!!!!!!

far better would have been - hope for sun and put Brian Wilson on in the main stage sunday afternoon slot with the old classics

 

[Robder]

It was Sheryl Crow and that old crooner bloke - aaaargh what's his name!??! => Tony Bennet, and Robbie Williams when I used to go.

All Macy Gray's Glasto performances have been amazing too.

Must go back one year.

I have to say Shirley Bassey opening her slot with Pinks Get the Party Started was one of my best bits.

Fat Boy Slim was alright on Friday night and the basslines I was hearing when in the tent during The Killers has made me think I need to listen to more alternative/rock/pop stuff to steal the basslines for mixes.

Now the mud and madness has passed it's 3 weeks break then off to Ibiza.

The Who were the best, they played a brilliant set, i cant wait to see them this coming Friday in Dublin

 

[Philly Cent]

Damn right!! I thought they were great!!

Kaisers were good too!!

I know 3 people who went, none have had their phones on today!!

Wasn't jealous at all!!

Put me in the mood for my trip to V in August.

I thought the Kooks were s**te live, considering I really liked the album, Editors were good & Lily Allen werent too bad. Didnt see much else but I thought the Killers were amazing, cannot wait to see them for myself.

Just my opinion though

****ing great w/e mud contributed to the madness- kasabian and the chems were the highlights and lily allans jam session with the specials was mint only bad dj set was sasha who was flat as your hat

see you in 08

 

[Taffy Raver]

Arctic Monkeys were my favourites! It was a very moving performance from them

Yes, they were good weren't they?

Not enough charisma to own a headline stage though - they're more Carling Acedemy than pyramid stage to me.

 

[PFD50]

I though quite a lot of the acts/bands on the main stages had no idea how to woo a crowd. With all his back catalouge Paul Weller was a huge disappointment and only got everyone going for his last song which "of course" was from his time with The Jam.

 

[Buckley]

Mr Hudson and the Library are officially my new favourite band. Also enjoyed Coldcut, Stanton Warriors and meeting so many really lovely people.8)

watched/listened to the BBC online coverage


The Chemical Brothers set was outstanding

Yip The Chems really do put on a show. If you thought it looked good on the TV I can assure you it was bloody mind blowing stood in front of the stage

Had a good time but the conditions were awful. Made it a real testing weekend...

Was most impressed by Babyshambles, Mark Ronson & Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly.

Sasha & Steve Lawler weren't bad in the dance tent mind...

 

[macdonsj]

Was most impressed by Babyshambles,

having seen just over half the set on the TV - it wasn't the best Shambles set

Peter & Mik having a bit too much boozes (or something) beforehand

Drew & Adam were on top form tho



i'm sure they are saving themselves for T in the Park anyway
