Asking the crowd a question which guarantees a cheer as a reply? Then repeating the question to get a bigger cheer?

Top stuff

Loved it. Wasn't sure how well they would go down and was torn with going to Portishead but fuck me i'm glad i went to see them. One of the best sets of the weekend, new and old songs all sounded awesome. Who gives a shit if they opened with a new one, it sounded fucking ace.

Really enjoyed it. Loved hearing Do i wanna know and R U MINE? live for the first time. I don't think they should of played mad sounds. Mardy Bum was fantastic live with the string section

I've just watched bits from iplayer.. they come across much, much better on TV.. I was somewhere in the middle and the sound didn't quite reach us well and they didn't show much on the big screens, so didn't really feel like we were there, which is not really their fault. I can see from the footage, it would have been great to be closer to the front, which I regret not making the effort now.. Admittedly we left just before the encore started, the gap was THAT long, we thought they had finished, a large number of the crowd walked away with us, unfortunately.

So for next time, they need to show more footage on the big screens, turn it up and have far fewer gaps.

They were fantastic, I enjoy every minute but the encore with the strings sealed it as a wonderful performance.

Seeing as I already love 'Do I Wanna Know?' I thought it was a great opener at Glasto, bearing in mind a lot of the crowd probably wouldn't know it yet so getting it out of the way early on so the rest of the set is strong was a good idea. I managed to get pre-sale tickets this morning...so chuffed! Got standing tickets for Glasgow and seated for Sheffield. Both in the same weekend so that's gona be interesting

[iloveglasto]

Really enjoyed the music but was disappointed with the last of visuals on the screens and what was shown seemed to be in black and white or sepia.

[howlin_pete]

Found them underwheling, not bad but a bit of a letdown. Saw the end of portishead who i thought were much better.

Yeah, the screens were shite, whatever effect they were going for really didn't work

[Racheyg1]

Loved the monkeys!! Alex's banter was good and I think his accent is pretty darn sexy! LA suits them........and if Joshua homme is you mate that's a huge thumbs up in my book! Got standing tickets for London.......can't wait!

[Matt42]

I'm a fanboy but oh my god they were amazing.

Wanted to get tickets but i'l know i'l miss out, I'l just go with the rumours they are doing reading next year that should make me happy.

got tickets for Earls Court. I probably wouldn't have bothered were it not for my little bro, who was really keen to go. I've seen them more times than I can count over the last 7/8 years, but their new material always excites, and they change up the set lists enough to keep me coming back for more, so I know I'll be excited come September

far from my favourite venue though

[Seanoooo]

They smashrd it. All my mates watched it and was super impressed.

[LondonTom]

Looked better than usual but still a bit dull and stop/start for me from watching the BBC's footage...so yeah watching on TV I can't really judge but its done nothing to make me think I missed out by choosing Chic.

Also should maybe give up playing Fake Tales with that strange accent on Alex , "You're not from New York City, you're from Rotherham"

[Slugworth]

After watching the highlights, Chic was the only place to be that friday night.

New tune from the album. Quite Hip Hop influence it seems.

[GlastoSimon]

Ain't bad.

[Dan R]

Decent tune, pretty funky but no where near as good as do I wanna know.

[EighteenSixty7]

AM is going to be amazing
