Even the R U Mine ending was just Alex w*nking himself off. Jesus.

Axl Rose has been spotted backstage repeatedly wiping his forehead with a look of relief

Axl Rose tomorrow will make Alex Turner sound like Smokey Robinson in comparison!

[Benjsh]

Well I'm left so deflated and sad by that performance. They were so so good two weeks ago in Manchester. 😞

In other news, there appears to be a coup going in Russia.

Elton John is 76. Nobody expects him to sound like he did in 1983. 

So, like I said, double standards. Shite is shite, regardless of how old you are!

Oasis 2004 vibes off that. A mess.

Just over two weeks ago when we saw AM in Boro I said to my wife afterwards that it was the best form I’d seen them in for nearly 10 years. 

Switched it off early tonight, full style over substance turn from Yorkshire Elvis. A real shame.

Watching Kelis on BBC 2 now - now we're talking! 🙂

Seen them 4 times now and it's ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous. First was 2005 in a 900 capacity venue before they released their first album and it was electric. Couple of festival performances in 2009 and last summer were pretty shocking but a few weeks ago in Norwich, as part of the current tour, was really good. Took our 10 year old daughter to that and she sung her heart out for the whole thing and the set list was nicely paced throughout.

Tonight just felt like a bit of a mess but it won't affect their long term future. All this, 'they're finished at Glasto' nonsense will mean nothing going forward as they don't need the festival to help them be successful in the future. Yes, it won't go down as a classic but it's not the absolute disaster some are portraying it to be.

Certainly nothing wrong with Alex Turners vocals , i didn't hear anything particularly out of tune, and if he was ill ,then kudos to him for getting on with it , good old British stiff upper lip and all that .

Sharleen Spiteri genuinely sounded like she struggled a bit with her vocals today ,but nobody complained, because she worked the crowd well.

Looks like some of the live streams come on earlier today - The Lathums are advertised from Other Stage at 1pm. Sadly, not Kanda Bongo Man from West Holts at the same time, who would almost certainly have been one of the highlights of the festival. ☹️

If anyone is planning on watching this set back tomorrow, you might want to play it at 1.5 speed, it might actually be ok then

🤣🤣🤣, I didn't walk away soon enough, it was lousy

Back in the USSR

Wonderful to see the feature on the Leftfield stage on BBC 2 - it's the stage I probably spent the most time at in my 11 glastonburys & the one I miss the most. Luckily I'm going to see Billy Bragg in Gloucester in 4 weeks time.

[Acid_Haze]

Well Fever Ray smashed it out the park

On LCD duty in the States at the minute no?

The Mary Wallopers on BBC 2 - get 'em on one of the main stages next year - bloody brilliant!

That was one of the best things I’ve ever seen 

[MrBarry465]

Fever Ray have been set of the festival thus far imo.

An incredible artist, one of a kind.

I’d have found that much more enjoyable to watch.

Too bad the Knife never played Glasto.

Woke up at 3am to watch Chvrches. Worth it. 
 

Foo’s great  as always. Looking forward to catching up with the rest. 

[Suprefan]

Anyone getting errors with get iplayer? Using the pid and recursive and got a bunch if "no media stream found for requested program" before it finally found another set. So i dont know what its Not grabbing. Or should i update my version to clear out any glitches?
