Is there not another thread of his knocking about? I've not seen this one before.

In another unrelated thread I commented on the likelihood everybody nose will get played at some point due to kanye being on site

It really is dick head central at the pyramid come Saturday night, from what Ive seen on tv Pharrell looks like a human atmosphere vacuum when it comes to performing live, incredibly dull

Indeed, caught him live on TV a few times as I can leave or take some of his recorded stuff....but the whole show looks incredibly dull. At times it looks worse than a redcoats show.

Much better than previous shows I've seen, both in person and on TV. The fact he now bothers with staging is a massive help.

Being so preachy with the 'freedom' song when that song is being released to promote the new revenue stream from TTIP-keen Apple seemed a bit odd tho.

I also wonder how much Adidas payed for their top BBC advertising spot. 

 

And that is without getting into the Baes stuff....

I don't think it was that bad.

 

A possible bold statement, but i enjoyed Pharrell, and his borderline DJ set, and scoping out of girls on the front row than the Who. 

 

At least he tried to get the crowd involved, moved around a bit, and was entertaining to people who may not have been the biggest of fans.

 

But yes, skulking off for 5 mins to let girls dance wasn't the best, but i thought it was good fun, and well, we were at Glastonbury after all, a super fun place!

Agree with all of this. Pharrell's set was the surprise hit of the festival for me.

Seen him twice in the last couple of weeks, at Isle of Wight and Glasto. Did intend on being elsewhere this weekend, but ended up seeing most of his set, which was identical. Very good show, but I think IOW was actually better, despite the sound system on the Pyramid being much much better.

My biggest gripe was the fact that I felt like I was the lone person walking to the Park from Big Ground-ish against the huge relentless tide of humanity flooding to the Pyramid for Williams then West. Took me 50 minutes.

Worth it for Staples, Spiritualized, Hopkins though.

Blissful evening up there with what seemed like zero arsehats in attendance.

      Interesting, and thanks for coming back to give an update! I've seen that the second stage looks bigger than usual too, looks to be a Serious Stages - Stellar Stage from distance photos.    Seems like sizing wise stages have been scaled up somewhat this year.
