I know I'm gonna get abuse for this but I went to see Stevie in 2008 at Birmingham.

He spent half the night talking about God, Faith, his wonderfull daughters bla bla bla - not really my cup of tea.  I was well disappointed.

Fair do's like. Tbh I'm still undecided about watching him at Glasto.

The show on BBC was only an hour so I wonder what had been missed out......music or chat? I,m also not decided on whether to see him and to be honest there was only a couple of songs that I really enjoyed from last night. So its still hmmmmm from me.

[Douzeper]

I've decided, I'll be nowhere near it

[al_coholic]

I recorded it to see what I thought, havent watched it yet but still think I will probably go an see Stevie

half the night??

bollocks

there's the best part of an hour on iplayer, with none of that, so.. the other hour must have been taken up by all his chat about god, etc...
except it wasn't

and that hour on iplayer includes the only 'down' part of the set (I Just Called!)

I think it's funny how people who might not like him that much, seem to be expecting him to pull something out of the bag to 'convert' them...
if you don't like him, you don't like him...

Indeed. When I saw him in 08 he played for 2 1/2 hours, most of which was utterly brilliant. There were a few songs that I thought dragged a tiny bit but it pretty much flew by. I can't think of many other artists who could fill a set of that length with pretty much all actual hits, not just tracks that only fans would know. It's going to be incredible

Wasn't going to see him before hand and that's settled it, just not my cup of tea. If Glasto could have got a bigger rock act, he would have been perfect for the susnet slot alas it is what it is

Orbital for me.

[Wanderlei]

It'd be annoying if he went on about faith and God and all that bollocks. Apparently Prince does that too.

But seeing Stevie's hot daughter would balance that minor annoyance out. She is well fit!!!

For those who love Stevie this is going to be a momentous occasion. For those under 25 (?) perhaps who have no history in listening to his music it could be a " so what", but, this man is a LEGEND. There is talk on these boards of great sets from Paul Mcartney and David Bowie, Steve Wonder is in that bracket of legendary status, of iconic status that those  two are. I watched it today whilst off from work and i had a big big smile knowing that in a months time i will be party to an historic set set to be made of Glastonbury legend. Make no bones about it that this is going to be huge.
No hes not a rock act! Hes not the Rolling Stones hes not U2 hes not Radiohead or any other big rock act some might have wished for, he though is one of the most selling artists in the history of music and of his genre on of the most significant artists of the last 40 years. I think this year will be his fourth decade of playing music, which is a fitting tribute to end the 40th glasto. Ok so Glasto started with rock acts but we are 40 years on and times change. This is supposed to be a party and for those who cant wait its going to be a party to end a wonderful weekend!

I've typed enough about the Stevie Love -v- Stevie Hate on here so I'll just say that I've just watched the hour long iPlayer programme and it's got me feverishly excited about seeing him at Glasto.  Great man, great songs and a great band.

[featherboa]

I am currently watching this now, and whilst I wasn't keen on the harmonica opening, as soon as he starting singing and the band kicked in more it's all good! I think he will be a good end to the Sunday, a good boogie to end Glasto!

[Wanderlei]

Yeah, really cool gig ob iPlayer. Good find!

[WayneJr]

Watched it yesterday, agree with featherboa about not bein too keen on the harmonica opening but the rest of it was just incredible. I personally cannot wait to see him play.
