BBC Coverage 2023

[MrZigster]

Coldplay wristband year. Had somehow kind of forgotten that was coming. Wasn't a fan and won over would be an understatement.

Then they brought on Barry Gibb to do Stayin' Alive. May have lost it at that point. Saturday Night Fever soundtrack was one of the first cassettes I owned.

Is this thread on (tap tap (type type))?

Is nostalgia dead?

Do you all have work in the morning still?

Do you not want to get in the mood?

Or reminisce?

Is it BBC hate?

Just baffled that I'm talking to an empty field again.

Seeing that opening part of the 2016 highlights…. My god that mud was hard that year!

[Alex DeLarge]

Just catching up on 2013 highlights and do the crowds seem livelier to anyone else? @MrZigster I think people are just missing it cos we all have work in the morning. Wouldn't be surprised if people are catching up this week.

I'm watching them all on catch up at times that suit me! 🙂 Did 2013 and 2014 last night....

Stayin' Alive was an all-timer Pyramid moment.

Just me again?

I was surprisingly surprised that I enjoyed The XX given I was completely blind to their music.

[MrZigster]

It's the abusive Dizzee Rascal.

[MrZigster]

Radiohead. Easily one of the best things I've been at there.

No, I shall join you if I may. Sidetracked by this just as I was about to head to bed. Enjoyed the XX too and Lorde playing a bit of a banger, however what's making me the happiest is the footage of the rest of the festival. Getting me right in the feels for next week...

[MrZigster]

Yay Squeeze. It's not Glastonbury without at least one ex member on the bill somewhere. I'm going to try to be at Glen Tilbrook this year.

[germanmon]

Aha! The Kazoo marching band make an appearance!

I’ve literally just turned on and saw this. A hell of a point to switch the telly on! 😂

[MrZigster]

Note to camera operators filming guitarists. It's the fretboard hand you should be focusing on not the strumming one. That's where the hard work is going on.

Grinds my gear this. There's Hendrix footage out there where for the whole concert you only get close ups of his strumming.

I’ve actually been enjoying your stories every night, almost like a nighshift radio DJ.

Had no idea Sigrids been around since 2017, I only discovered her last year. 

[MrZigster]

Sigrid looks well happy.

[germanmon]

Katy Perry's in yer face colour bomb straight after Liam G is the kind of randomness I need. Shame about the vocals...

[Dreamingofsunnydays]

What’s with the wing bits during Katy Perrys set?

Seems she’s got better with age- was better vocally at the Kings cornonation

[MrZigster]

Got really overkill levels of pissed off during Liam due to the soundbleed from a selfish nearby bar. I'm not even that big of a fan. More of a Noel guy. Was working that year so had a limited list of things I really wanted to enjoy. Tired and emotional I was.

[MrZigster]

Bloke on shoulders AND holding a huge flag pole. Tut.

[MrZigster]

One of my great discoveries was subtitles on for unintelligible vocalists.

Has to have some of the greatest, state of the art pyrotechnics to be seen anywhere.

Went to see Roger Waters last week. Now that was a bit of a state of the art show when it comes to tech.

[MrZigster]

There're not enough underground train rock venues.
