I think everyone is in for a treat at Glastonbury.  I stood under the neck of Alex's Bass.  Was good.

The stage must have been very high, or are you very short?

Still Blur or Prodigy??

There was never a big male bias in Blur's fanbase. Looks like the only people who busted a gut to get tickets for it were blokes this time though. The front rows look a right mess.

I always saw Blur as a lads band whilst Pulp were the more female orientated......maybe wrong but thats how I always envisaged them. Liked them both equally.

I went to this, I was on the other side, in front of Graham.

Highlight? Well apart from all those lovely songs, Alex stacking over a plant pot (or something) stands out.

Think of the 90s! The majority of the crowds were screaming teenage girls! Though there were probably some screaming teenage boys too...

They're not doing Jonathan Ross anymore; it's in all the TV guides 'cos they were printed beforehand, but their appearance has been cancelled.

edit: it was the TV they were booked for, unless they're doing radio in replacement and I haven't found out yet..... *runs off to check* but they're doing a gig in London on Saturday, for press and competition winners, so if it is then it will have to be pre-recorded, or earlier on.....

I think it was one of the best gigs I've ever been too.  I'm glad I'm not at work today as I think I may have had a little too much fun-having last night.

Tender, Song 2 and This is a Low were all standouts, but it was all massively good.  I think I am even more of a fanboy now.  I came out soaked in sweat from head to toe.

I still can't decide between Blur and Prodigy  :D

I think I'll just decide how I feel on the day and whether I'm up for a bounce around with a load of sweaty shirtless men or one without  :D

I always go by which one makes me smile.......loud shouty Prodigy  :D ....or chirpy happy Blur :). What a perfect way to spend a Sunday evening.....singing about how we all live in a house...a very big house in the country.

He has to be pre recorded now because of the silly fiasco that happened last year!
