That's it, I've gone! First proper FOMO of the festival for me. In tears after Sit Down.

Completely agree, a greatest hits set would be up there as the highlight of any festival, but too often they play album tracks that unless you're a big fan of the band, you wont know, i've always said festivals are for playing the greatest hits, not your usual tour set

So far so good for this set! Halfway through and only one new song

Its certianly a much better setlist than when ive seen them previously so far

[EFC1996]

Let’s go girls

Oh dear. This is monumentally bad and I don't mind a bit of Shania. 

 

Sound issues or does she just need to call it a day? She isn't even in time with the music.

[brandycoke]

Sounds like Shania Twain's having the same in ear problem as Cyndi Lauper.

[ICESTONE]

Loved that James set.

[Serenefishy]

No Laid? I’d be pretty gutted if I was there.

2016 was a strange one wasn’t it. Brexit just announced and everything felt a bit subdued.

I don't think it helped Michael Eavis introduced them as the best band from the 90s or something to that effect 🤣

We've switched from bbc1 to iPlayer which seems to have helped.

Shaky start but doing OK now. She has had two open throat surgeries. Lucky to be singing at all tbh.

 

Does seems to have the same sound issues that Cyndi Lauper had.

TV sound is sh*t, switched over last night to Iplayer its miles better

[Serenefishy]

I listened to heaps of Shania growing up because my mum was obsessed, but never watched her perform live or heard her talk. I had a different image of her in my head I think.

Spectacularly good. In my world they'd be headlining and would get 2 hours. 

 

Switched to the mighty Steel Pulse now.

I switched to West Holts.

That really helped.

[Benjsh]

This is the cherry on the cake for a really poor Glastonbury. My god it's horrendous. 

[Punksnotdead]

Aah, now I know what I've been missing this Glastonbury - some great reggae! Thank you Steel Pulse!

How long after the end of the festival will Emily come out and say it was the best festival ever?

What else is she gonna say?

 

‘Sorry guys shite one this year’

 

 

[Serenefishy]

Dolly Parton broke the legends slot. Nobody else can be that good.

Very true. She can't really say anything else can she nor should she.

 

This is without a doubt the weakest Glasto since I started going in 04 though. A few great sets in there but a lot of it has been very poor and not befitting the biggest and best festival in the world.

 

I think I'd have had to walk away from this Shania set. It's hard to watch.

Nothing but Thieves on at the Other, much more like it.
