Like all of you, i haven't shut up about the last week. I was just talking about it to my dad and mentioned the breathtaking shot on the big screen of a zoomed in moon, showing craters and the stuff, just before Blur came on the stage.

He, being extremely cynical, refused to believe me. I love proving him wrong and hate that i couldn't get my camera out quick enough to take a picture of it.

Does anyone have a video or picture of it to win this bet and make him look like a fool?

Will be oh so grateful!!!

it was amazing didn't tho get a picture myself  

i thought it was just an image at first then the camera started zooming out

[jonnymcd]

someone told me it was on the bbc coverage, so check out the i-player !!!

Crap, I'm in America on holiday and it won't let me access bloody iplayer because im outside the uk. Really should of downloaded all the footage before I left, only saw madness and dizzee rascal, where I was happy to see myself in my beautiful yellow brothers sun hat!

Crap, well, now I really hope someone has a photo of it.

I'd also love a picture when Blur came on of the pyramid stage, with the moon above it, the sky just getting darker, as loads of people set off the sky lanterns, it looked beautiful but my camera wasn't good enough to get a decent picture

Would it be possible for someone to do a screen grab from iplayer at all?

[johntrfc]

I found a YouTube link of the zoom out of the moon but the copy and paste function in the iPhone is bot great after all. Anyway, here is a link to it:

There was a fantastic moment when Damon said

"Can you see the moon?" and because everyone had looked up at some point in the set and had seen it,  we all instinctively responded "yeeeess"

and then he went on...

"Can you?"

and in the second in between we'd all looked up and realised it had gone behind a cloud and, so this time, back came a crestfallen "noooo"

I watched it back on iplayer and it comes over really clearly that the crowd say yes then no - the sad sound of the "no" is quite comical to look back on.

A few moments later it came back out, and we were shouting "Ask us again Damon! Ask us now!"
