radiohead, never got them, tried my best but lasted 2 songs tonight
XX, I never liked depeche mode, so these appeared even worse
some county singer, she was ok
it comes to something when dizzee rascal is my prefered choice, i used to be fairly into the " jungle scene " and he sounds like a MC from them days, best out of a bad bunch tonight
My oldest wants to go next year, with us, so we might have to endure crappy bogs again, though you can take a caravan cant you ? ? ? so that might save us, we used to love reading festival and went for many many years, never did Glasto though
Fantastic musicianship for Paranoid Android
Dizzy Rascal greatest act ever
Enjoying Royal Blood but overall thin pickings today
Clean bandit are putting on a show, fair play
just done Strikes " you sure do " and doing " rockabye "
If this was the good old days of events like Monsters of Rock, it would be very, very different. Great up tempo sets, no Tarquin and Tarquinettas - those sneaking in would get taken out by flying bottles of piss...
Whether you like or loathe them, Radiohead are capable of producing their work live to a really high standard. Like a few others I enjoyed their earlier stuff and I think they're worthy headliners for a Festival.
Having said all that, I've always got more pleasure from finding stuff that's slightly off the beaten track and that's increased as I've got older...
Jo Whitely scrubbing up well for a 50+ year old.
She gets better every year.
As for Radiohead, I am a fan and thought they were on form tonight. I don't get the 'pretentious' tag though. They're all clearly very talented, multi-instrument musicians as they regularly swapped between instruments. They also combine acoustic with electric effortlessly. They have a huge back catalogue and IMO have stood the test of time. I can't think how any band of that vintage can still appear 'new'
I liked the fact they threw in some of their more experimental stuff, such as Lotus Flower from King Of Limbs which I love.
Iggy pop about 10 years ago.....he is a legend....

It's a hectic few days, I couldn't deal with the shear amount of people. I like a bit of peace in my 40's....I could just about handle it late 20's/early 30's, in saying that a trip all the way down to the pyramid or gap year area as we called it was tough even back then.
The healing fields and areas up by the stone circle would be the only places I could cope with these days. It's too expensive nowadays get little change if a grand probably
Radiohead are technically excellent. There's no doubt about that.
For me, their later stuff lacks drive, passion, energy. There is the odd good song but a lot of self-indulgent dross. What you saw last night was an audience thinking they must like Radiohead, silent for the most part only coming to life with the songs they knew and wanted.
There's jut no comparison between Radiohead headlining a festival and say Iron Maiden. Maiden get a far greater crowd reaction.
There must be something wrong with me, because if I want to listen to music, I just turn on the radio.
