Kanye West

[seumasbeathan]

Start off by saying I've only watched this on the tele so don't know what it was like there, but Kanye absolutely nailed that!

 

Genuinely one of the best sets I have ever seen from anyone, ever.

 

No idea why I liked it so much, not even a Kanye fan, but it just hit the spot for me.

 

Still think the guys an absolute w*nk of a man, but that set just really did it for me.

 

Crowd there seemed to go mad for it to!

[Big Vern]

you're being sarcastic right?

[blue6field]

Watching on the television also and its total rubbish

[seumasbeathan]

you're being sarcastic right?

 

I wish i was, I hate the pr*ck. But this set has just completely won me, no idea why but I would give anything to be there right now.

[Big Vern]

fair play to you, each to their own and all that, but that was a massive fucking bag of w*nk and I watched and listened with an open mind.

 

"hey everybody wait 5 mins whilst I get in this pointless fucking cherry picker which just looks shit"

[lightning1000]

Zing!!!!

[prestonmike]

greatest rock star on the planet..fact! (Kanye said so, so it must be true)

[lightning1000]

How can a star be on a planet? It's all a lie!!!!

[FloorFiller]

We'll I absolutely loved it! The couple of overlong pauses where I admit pretty mood breaking, and I wish he'd just finish a song, but overall, all bangers, great performance, nailed it imo

[Ben Holland]

It was exactly what I expected it to be.........self indulgent shiiiiite. 

[kalifire]

The mood in the crowd was one of occasional highs but lengthy periods of bewilderment. It was all a bit jolting and was one of those sets I'd imagine comes across a lot better on the telly.

[Teddington]

haha

 

No accounting for taste as they say.

 

Utter Utter shite.  I hope he didn't get paid for that.

 

 

Have I imbibed too much or did he attempt Bohemian Rhapsody? 

[CliffRichardsPissSack]

Not his best performance, but certainly not the train wreck everyone is making out to be.

No it didn't at all m8.

 

I suspect most were trying to work out if his resets were deliberate, or if he was trying to be ironic in the many fuck ups that he did.

 

Horrible horrible set.

[kalifire]

He did. It was met with audible exasperated cries of "oh fuck off" from several of those around me. There was also a streaker that invaded the stage early on, I'm told. I saw somebody run up but couldn't spot he/she was naked.

[Ovechkin]

I still can't understand why he got all the hate for his larger than life persona, as long as there are a white guitar based band claiming it it is fine (Oasis in their glory days, Arctic Monkeys wannabe Oasis-attitude). 

 

His music talent is undeniable, and it would only be ignorant to claim anything other, to a much larger degree than previous headliner Jaz Z.

[tommyds]

This is the problem with playing to backing tracks rather than a band. Your band can keep playing the intro until you start, but if you miss your cue on the prerecorded track you're fucked

If only he had taken their advice...... 

[stuartbert two hats]

It came across really badly on telly, to me mainly because there was nothing to look at. I kept thinking the curtain would drop and there would be a band and a proper light show and lasers and shit. A stage show. Like all the other stages on at the same time had. Not just one bloke rapping along to an (admittedly good) backing track.

I kept turning it back over to see if 'it had started yet'. It never did.

[kalifire]

There were looks of confusion at the end when he thanked his guitarist.

Sat in my tent struggling to get over the disappointment. Going to have to find some great food to deal with this.

Hey m8, you're in Glasto, you have 5 hrs or so of the night left.  Get your arse to Shangri La, get some Taco's and you will still have a better night than 99% of people in the UK.

[The Dawg]

I had to keep flicking back to it to make sure I wasn't seeing, or hearing, things!! Utter pants.

 

Empty stage, more samples than Talk Sport and a bloke dressed as a Painter and Decorator.

 

I'm glad i'm not a kid anymore.

[paulmuchmore]

Well my mum here at Glasto only intended to watch maybe half of it - she loved it. A 57 year old woman who isn't really into hip hop that much. He's clearly divisive, as our opinions seen to differ from most of the Internet!

[kingcrawler]

I thought it was great, as did everyone around me. Yes, there were a few moments where the mood dropped a bit like the gaps and the bit where he was talking about Justin Vernon (buzzing for GETOFFAMYLAWN as he posted a few weeks ago saying he wanted Justin to turn up) but on the whole it went down really well where I was. Even Bohemian Rhapsody, bizarre though it was, seemed to come across ok.
