Ive just watched Sundays on TV on Demand on Virgin. And they played a few from Prodigy, Breather And Firestarter I think.

They never showed Blur - Tender, which I'm bit gutted about. Or even the crowd singing it before each encore, which was even better.

Tender was definitely one of the songs shown on BBC2's Sunday coverage as I V+'d it and watched some tonight.  

There's 33 mins of Blur on the BBC website too, which includes Tender - go here.

From what I've seen of the TV coverage and also all the stuff on the website I actually think the BBC were pretty good this year.  A little more JazzWorld would have been nice, but overall I liked it.

They've (unsurprisingly) cut Stagger Lee from Nick Caves set  

Pity as it was one of my festival highlights.

f**k it, who cares about the BBC coverage, I was there, experiencing it. Reducing it to something on your telly is never going to work, it's for people who couldn't get themselves there, I was having the time of my life on a sunny farm in somerset, I'm not really going to give a toss what the BBC decides to show to people sat at home on a Saturday night.

That's very selfish.

If the BBC arent showing a full set of Blur, Bruce or Neil Young, it is not their fault.

What i found annoying was driving back listening to radio 1

"someone has texted in asking for some bruce springsteen, sorry we arent going to play that!" followed by Zane Lowe doing his best to pretend he was John Peel and ignoring the fact completely that Springsteen even played the festival. Instead proclaiming x and y and z and everything else, was so absolutely incredible.

There MUST have been something contractual going on.  I told my dad I bet I could get the majority of Neil Young's set from the BBC.  In reality I saw the same five songs about a dozen times.  Then on Saturday they seemed to broadcast most of Springsteen's set live.  Couldn't belieeeeeeeeve it.  I doubt it was because they thought the viewing public would be more interested in one than the other, although they clearly think were interested in Lily Allen.

During fire the crowd went f**kING NUTS... I was so looking forward to watching it back when I got home...

Instead they point the camera at the f**king backing singers.

Pricks.

And the backing singers were total shite.

TBF, Blur have restricted the BBC's output of their set as they don't want too much given away for their Hyde park gigs, apparently anyway.

Coverage is still pretty crap though.

Well then lets just start a massive PHIL DANIELS CAME ON AND DID PARKLIFE viral campaign

I've seen a torrent for Springsteen and apparently it's his full set (according to the comments) but I havn't started downloading yet  

That will take forever to download

Has anyone noticed that the volume in their iPlayer windows goes up to 11

also there seems to be no footage of the Jazz world stage this year...

What's even more depressing is they managed it for the Black Eyed Peas...
