Bon Iver, Sunday at the Other Stage. Lovely

Highly unfashionable but rather splendid nonetheless Saturday night in the Avalon tent, The Wonderstuff.

Magic Numbers ! - Sunday night

[wiltshireham]

An unconventional shout but...

Paulo Nuitini in the Croissant Neuf tent on the Thurs/Fri (can't remember)

He rocked and nailed it in fornt of a few hundred very sweaty but very happy folk.

I enjoyed it a lot at the time but it sounds as though the Maccabees saw their Other Stage slot as something of a watershed:

It was a period of critical quarantine that effectively ended when the group arrived at Glastonbury. Generally speaking, mid-afternoon sets on the second stage tend to pass forgotten the moment they have ended. During the Maccabees’ performance, though, something happened — and even Weeks noticed it. “No one was leaving. And then we f***ed up Precious Time and I could hear a sympathetic ‘Aaah’ coming from the crowd. In that moment I sensed something that hadn’t previously been there [with festival audiences].”

The Specials were superb, however my highlight for unexpected brilliance was Shlomo and his vocal orchestra at the Park. Sunshine + Cider + Special guests + Beatboxing = Splendid entertainment

Springsteen for me, one of the few acts that I said "I never want this to end" when he was on.

Pendulum blew the roof off the muthaf**kin hizz-ouse

[Mrs*E*]

Prodigy

[exile]

Neil Young was awesome. As was McGuinn.

I thought all 3 headliners were absolutely monumental and brought something different

Also: f**ked Up - Dear Eavis - please book more acts like this please

[MEGABOWL]

The Specials

Bon Iver

Madness

Blur

[4AssedMonkey]

The memories that have lived with me are:

The Specials

Madness

2 Door Cinema Club

Hot Rats (at The Park)

Zane Lowe (on Thursday in the BBC tent)

And missing Blur to see the Prodigy who I thought were very very very average. (I know I've moaned about this before on here but I STILL regret it and feel emotional about it.)

Paulo Nuitini in Croissant Neuf was great! I loved Maximo Park in The Queen's Head on Thursday too - excellent

[LEDZEP66]

Neil Young

when he came on and started the riff to hey hey, my my, amazing. Never have I been so happy at a gig

[CiderFiend]

Kasabian and Springsteen were the best acts there for me. Went back to my tent grinning from ear to ear on Sunday morning!

[spudzzz]

ummm -

Favs - Rolf, Bjorn again, Neil Young, Roger Mguinne, and although not surprisingly as they are old hands at this game, but were everything I expected - The QUO

[FestMonster]

N*E*R*D nailed it in my eyes i thought they was one of the best of the weekend

[sprocketrocket]

Ray Davies, Blur and Emilina Torini for me.
