what acts or people did you see that were honoured to be there and them who were not

[Spindles]

Primal scream. They looked like they didn't want to be there after about the 3rd song off the new album. After that BG's hissy fit behaviour just made things worse.

As others have mentioned, the pumpkins really seemed to lap up the crowd and there was a lot of love both ways that night. Sunday was a good day for me, but I take that as my highlight of the day.

Portishead, just magical. Still counting my blessings that I was there. Sometimes everything comes together and it was perfect. Right up there with the best gigs of my life.

Enter Shikari. Loved it.

The Hives. If anyone was not at that gig they are a fool. So much fun.

Bobby Womack was loving it, at the end he practically had to be dragged off the stage, they told him his time was up so he went into an extended funk jam singing "I don't wanna stop! I don't wanna stop-AH!..."

Tim burgess was smiling and laughing throughout his set at the park on sunday which was more than could be said for me.

[MEGABOWL]

Matthew E White on West Holts Sunday said something along the lines of "I know it's a really big thing to play here, and it's my first show at a festival like this. I was worried it was going to be really difficult but it's not, it's been really great. You've made it really easy". He looked really happy and I thought it was quite nicely put.

PiL were amazing, one of my highlights, which I was a bit surprised about tbh. Obviously they're incredible on record, but I wasn't sure they'd pull it off live. Lydon seemed a bit surprised about the reception they got, and appeared to be really enjoying himself (though he's not the easiest person to read...) As they were leaving the stage he said that Glastonbury was 'not so corporate after all.' Ironic coming from the man from the butter advert, but I guess it shows that we both had preconceived ideas before the gig.

As well as those already mentioned, I caught the last few songs of Laura Mvula on the Pyramid and she seemed to be absolutely loving it. She was great live, too

After the Pyramid Laura Mvula played La Pussy Parlure to about 70 people, she was brilliant!

[Troop Dogg]

Rokia Traore on the Pyramid and the Congos on West Holts seemed to be genuinely lifted by the crowds they played to. Both great sets.

Beth Gibbons running to meet the crowd was something I thought I'd never see too!

foals were clearly having a great time during two steps twice (the last song) - i could definitely sense the triumph yannis was feeling

they've turned into such a fucking incredible live band. I've seen them around a dozen times since 2007, and it's only on the Holy Fire tour that they've really come into their own live. I've seen them twice this year and they've absolutely blown me away both times. One of the best live bands around at the moment, I'd say

[Funkyfairy!]

What a great thread :-)

There is noting better than a band/artist looking like they are really loving and appreciating being at Glastonbury

I thought 'Of Monsters and Men' looked pretty bored - but then that could be how they always look !
