BBC Glastonbury

I love Robert Smith's exit from the stage. He genuinely looks like he had the time of his life! 

Was never really a fan before but they won me over.

I wonder if they'll play the fox hunting Metallica video entrance?

The music has been great today, mostly listen to Radio 6. Seeing The Cure again tonight, a bit more sober, has topped off a fantastic day. 

This reads like you got hammered earlier in the day then recently started to sober up ha. I’m guessing you mean more sober than at Glasto on the Sunday, but if you got drunk at lunchtime I salute you lol

I'm far from a  Cure diehard, but they fucking nailed it. The absolute fucking boys (who don't cry).

They really did. Robert Smith has absolutely no business sounding that good at 60. A genuinely astonishing performance. 

[Matt42]

Say what you will but I always thought this Metallica set was a lot of fun.

they are definitely the most ballsy choice glasto has ever had to headline. I’m surprised there was so many people in the crowd which knew the songs.

I’m just in shock his voice sounds studio quality all the time. I don’t know any other performer who is like that other than Beyoncé.

Haha a bit more sober than when seeing them at the farm! Only had a couple today!

Lars Ulrich’s ponytail/ baldspot combo is something to behold

Switching to the Julien Temple film on BBC4 now

Why is Edith seemingly doing a link from her garden rather than the farm?

[chazwwe]

Just putting BBC4 on now 

[MrZigster]

4 or Metallica? Bloody clashes.

[blue6field]

Starting my weekend with LCD, it is as good as I remember it live, an incredible 90 mins, one of the best sets I’ve ever seen on the farml

It's on YouTube 

 

[Matt42]

The show on BBC 4 is actually making me sadder than the music. The footage of the pure debauchery and filth makes me miss the place more

Oh to be absolutely off my head in that field

[funkychick2007]

Love the rawness and madness of it all! Miss the atmosphere of it big time tonight! Should be on my favourite night shift of all in the south east corner right now!! 😥

The same reason Emily spent an hour on a dodgy phone connection doing a BBC interview earlier.

What, that pesky coronavirus? Goddamn!

But they have stuff set up by the pyramid!

[Simpo]

I adore the structure of this, cycling between night and day. Immerses you into the festival feeling a bit more

It was supposed to be a newer cut though, with more modern music clips: maybe that will get addressed in the Mark Kermode Q&A after.

Metallica were actually good from the sounds of things, why's everyone complaining?

I don't know many people complaining. I either see people say 1 of 3 things when talking about it.

1. Wasn't there, not my thing.
2. They were good
3. Surprisingly enjoyed them

You also get an odd youtube/twitter comment on 'finally a good band at that festival, I was wondering when that would happen' 

[nikkic]

Just watched the Jamie XX Park set from 2015.

Really great set, although the 3 garage songs in the middle seemed a little out of place.

[found home in 2009]

I enjoyed Metallica live at the time. Watching it back it's even better than I remember!

Had some cider & rum to get in the festival spirit, which I'll probably regret tomorrow when my alarm goes off for work.
