Is the Glasto coverage as bad as this?I've always been on holidays but this year will be at Glastonbury but wish to watch what I recorded when get home

[flyingmonkeypigs]

I've been struggling with this all weekend.
Why is it so hard for ITV to feed us some live footage, not once have they shown the act that is on whilst the coverage is being shown, you could hear 'Hey' in the background before but they still haven't managed to show more than 2 songs from Pixie's set.

The beeb may be awful at displaying Glastonbury in its full glory, but they are damn fine at festivals that really are about the music. Courtesy of the red button the number of full and live sets you can watch is brilliant.

Oh for f**ks sake I don't wanna see this strange presenter get his moustache licked... even better the Ting Tings are next. Facepalm.

Well - he came on at 10, by the looks of it - so 11.30 - midnight sounds good.

You hoping for a particular tune?

If he started at 10 then free world is very early in the set.

Hope we get Like A Hurricane to close it will probably be A Day In The Life though.

oh i've not heard 'your mother's got a penis' for years!

edit: referring to what's on the footage now, not an obscure neil young b-side!

To be fair, Rufus Hound is the only Glastonbury presenter we ever really get to see exploring the site so I for one am glad of his 'strange' nature.
Hmmm, now we have Goldie Lookin' Chain, when their set was actually being played, ITV were repeating last nights coverage.

They really don't have a clue.

[Zacko]

Goldie Lookin' Chain, I'll take these over Razorlight any day. Still should be showing Young right now...

[cavelier5]

Enough of the inane banter already!  

Why when you've got a legend playing live behind you do you go to Razorlight from yesterday? Or a  shite 'interview' with the Pigeon Detectives? I bet they do bloody Steroephonics next. c**ts.

[kohoutec]

f**king hell this is the crappest festival coverage I've ever seen. Either put Neil Young on or show us some more Pixies

[Zacko]

I've always been a fan of the depth the BBC has with their Glastonbury coverage, the lack of adverts is so good aswell. ITV are getting shown up here.  

[jamestheraver]

Another problem with ITV, Commercials!

At least the Beeb show live sets and know what they are doing!

channel 4's v coverage is excruciating as well.  the beeb ain't perfect but they crap on everyone else.

[LRW]

Aaah... down by the river..

[kohoutec]

Ting Tings. *Kills self*

[Zacko]

Oh god the Ting Tings, real musical legends. How the f**k are they below Bloc Party on the Other Stage at Glasto this year?

Agreed, no more slagging the beeb of for me. Alright they focus too much on music, but at least you can switch to an artist that's half decent if they're showing generic, boring stuff...

Ahhhh 'down by the river'
wait, no, its the Ting Tings

brilliant!

[jackthebassist]

this is awful

they cut to neil on the main stage whilst talking all over it, and then cuts back to that muppet rufus hound saying now we are going to watch the ting tings

for f**ks sake.

[LRW]

Are they STILL playing off the two hits they had?
