Agree with Oracle about Foo F, remarkable really

Artic Monkey's set was stunning, particularly, if you consider  their front man had laryngitis.At their best it's a brooding , slightly dark sound, and I agree with Oracle, is very Doors at times. I seen them evolve over the years and it's 10 years since they last performed  at Glastonbury. 

Tonight, I got back , just in time at 9.00 to catch a remarkable  set from Manics, full of favourites,  I have heard on my cd's and LiVe, many times ....thank you lads!

At present loving another band I have seen several times ' Guns and Roses'...rolling back the years , like the other oldies, which the youngsters cannot yet match !

One new band I have really enjoyed, and I am always up for new material,  is 'Gabriels', they performed  yesterday, and were on Jules Holland last week too,  a great emerging  talent.

On to tomorrow,  with more oldies Blondie Cat Stevens( Yousaf), and to conclude ,the last performance,  by Elton  John, should be SPECIAL...Looking forward to it!

Maybe I'm watching  with 'Guns and Roses ' tinted glasses ...but

SA14, as usual talking total rubbish , so it's intresting  to know that he's consistent !Slash is STILL  one of the best around .

What WAS/ IS awful  is Blondie. Have seen them in their heyday,and they were brilliant,  its embarrassing  to see Debbie Harry at 77, sadly cannot sing anymore. Age has nothing to do with it, as McCartney  proved last year, and even with a great backing band,  Debbie should have hung up her microphone .

Was genuinely heartbroken watching Lewis Capaldi, brave brave man knowing he was not at his best and walking out in front of that crowd, you could see he was gutted not to be able to finish his set.

If you watched with tinted glasses your opinion doesn’t really count. 

Even with my tinted glasses was able to see that Elton dedicated the first song of his remarkable 

set to SA.."what an accoclade " ! 

Really enjoyed Foo Fighters, Cat Stevens/Yusaf & in particularly Rick Astley. 

Must admit I was disappointed with lizzo , normally a great performer but this year wasn't great 

Band of the festival was definitely sparks for me , incredible performance with the energy levels of a group in their 30s rather than in their 80s 

Enjoyed it from start to Finnish and great weather also adds hugely to experience 

GPR proves that he is at least human...by getting it hopelessly wrong for a change !

ELTON WAS EXCELLENT,  and  all those I know, young and old have said the same .

Was surprised by the mobility issues, but did'nt effect the performance .

I admit I am am an Elton fan, particularly  the 70's stuff, and I possess  vinyl(still )"& cd's of most of his output, during this period.

Have seen him live several  times, but thought the prices on the 

farwell tour(gig at swansea),were ridiculously  expensive, ahd I was'nt prepared to pay that money.

However to open with pinball wizard and bitch is back, with such a tight sound,  driven by Olson  drums  and Davey Johnson's  wonderful guitar work,  just set the tone.

It just went from there...even though his early day falsetto, has n9w mellowed ( which I prefer), ge can STILL SING...which us more than I can say  about Debbie Harry, who also looked a mess.

Shame when this happens. Mc Cartney proved proved last year that age does'nt matter, as long as you can carry it off.

Elton taken that decision  now, and should be thanked for the years of pleasure he has given us.

He's admitted  his previous failings,  with drink ,drugs, tantrums, we all make mistakes.

He ' s now committed  to he young talent, as this Glastonbury  show indicates,  and his 'aids foundation', has saved countless lives.

Thank you Elton! 

Human most definitely Pimp. Nostalgia is something I tend not to suffer with. I try to say it as I see it. My wife & I taped Elton's set and looked forward to replaying it. Elton when we saw him last was the epitome of energy, vocals were crisp & clear and his piano work top draw. I am afraid anyone who thought his set on Sunday was acceptable even is suffering from said nostalgia in my opinion. 

He had mobility issues could hardly get up from his seat to take the applause, his vocals were dull and tame and his rapport with the audience was stilted. There comes a time in everybody's life when they need to realise that they can no longer do certain things. To perform on stage as a soft rock musician you need energy - Elton I am afraid does not. 

 I immediately picked up the word “taped”and thought I might have said just that before my online brain training reprogramming course I took 25 years ago to stop me using old fashioned words!  Mind you have you seen Gareth’s striped Tank Top and flares - looks a bit like Whistling Bob Harris from the Old Grey Whistle Test !! 😉😁 

Anyway I’m off for a stroll  now with my Walkman 😉

Define young?

Perhaps you could explain what is nostalgic about watching Elton's Glastonbury set. What is nostalgic is thinking it was good in my opinion. 

Steady on reesy - many a good tune played on an old fiddle. 

I do love it when remainers keep busting a gut to introduce Brexit into any conversation/comment they can. Poor buggers they can never seem to get over it - must be difficult carrying that around 24/7. 

Nope , can't be asked tbh ...it would be a wasted effort , I feel 

Very true! Ironically Vinyl records are making a comeback- quite cool it seems but I suspect cassettes have had their day. So annoying when they twisted up ! 

Gareth cannot avoid the occasional nibble outside off stump.

After saying that , he(gar) and Lynton Lewis (et al), were the best I have seen,outside the county circuit, and I used to travel up regularly from Llanelli to Ammanford to watch. A didn't even know Gareth then.

Even the best including Marus L, can get out for a duck occasionally...

So Gareth's recent innings at the Glastonbury oval read...............

(will return to cricket on mote serious note on ashes thread)
