Where you at either?

No, I consciously missed both because they're bad bands, which is why on the balance of probability I can confidently assume they probably weren't two of the best sets of the last ten years. I've seen footage of The Killers' set and, whilst it looked like a good atmosphere and a fun time, it's still a naff band playing naff songs, which is why I watched Chic instead. Elbow, I've seen a couple of times before and have no idea how they could possibly put on one of the best sets of the last ten years unless they were somehow a million times better than the times I saw them. As CalGon said, too, I've never even heard anyone mention that set until last night.

Anyway, it's just my opinion and wasn't meant to be too serious a reply.

Having been at the LCD Soundsystem set I can safely agree with that one. And having watched Portishead on TV in 2013 that's clearly up there as well.

It's LCD 2016. Hot Chip 2015 comes close.

The Killers show in 2017 was good, but not best of the decade material.

Only been to 2017, but The Killers was the best show that I saw that weekend. Definitely was a very special vibe inside that tent.

Can’t argue with this. I was there, great spot, fantastic atmosphere, good to see a stadium band in a tent etc, but ultimately was The Killers playing Killers songs, which has never done much for me.

Yep I echo this. I’m sure being a Killers fan in that tent was an incredible experience, but I’m not, so for me it wasn’t, and I wish I’d done Gibb/Chic instead, but ah well.

I was at that Elbow set, which is something I had completely forgotten about until now.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It was a triumphant symphony of material by The Killers, played in the fashion of The Killers by an assortment of members of The Killers.  Only someone who didnt like The Killers could find fault with it, from a The Killers point of view.

It was a forgettable trudge of material by Elbow including that one about a window, played in the fashion of Elbow by an assortment of members of Elbow presumavly featuring that one with the beard.  Only someone who didnt like Elbow could even remember it even happening, from an Elbow point of view.

I just remembered I was at Elbow for about 20mins.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's looking like a memorable day.

Hot Chip as the sun set at the Other Stage in 2010. Worldie.

The idea of Elbow was so boring that I left after Angel Olsen to go and stand at the side of The xx for their whole set before Radiohead.

[Guest]

I bet Elbow would be the least fun band to hang out with of all time.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Pros: like a beer or two

Cons: always banging on about curtains

[Harry49]

Saw both Elbow and Killers "secret sets". Enjoyed both with the Killers being one for the ages. Both audiences seemed to have a good time, lack of the usual pseuds on here probably helped.

I left after about 15 minutes when I was bored, got some food and a pint and then scaled the north face of Park to catch Girl Ray in Crows Nest. Back again for Lemon Twigs at quarter past midnight. Was a good friday evening in TCN

On the subject of completely forgotten about things, I forgot I'd stood watching some spectacular vomiting from The Moonlandingz on Saturday afternoon on Park, all whilst he had his head wrapped in clingfilm bar a small hole for singing (and vomiting).

I was transfixed.
