BBC Glastonbury

[Freddyflintstonree]

Hard to believe this is her today! (absolutely not shaming, being disrespectful or anything else negative, I just find it incredible) 

[Hugh Jass]

I remember her being a lot more chatty than this.

[crocodiles]

I went to adele as seen new order lots of times . She's got a great voice but not my thing really so we left about half way through . Enjoyed what I saw but saw enough to be ready for a drink

The Saturday. I was absolutely off my face for her set.

Same. I thought I had seen New Order before!

Tried buying tickets for mom & dad to see her at the O2 & prices were ridiculous so I knew it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to see her live. I don’t regret it except being punched in the face.

Likewise, although I think there are definitely big intervals of chat later in the set. Suppose it would get a bit annoying if she just went on between every song.

Have the sets been condensed?

[CaledonianGonzo]

The chat starts shortly.

she did just say she didnt have much to say yet ...:) 

[dingbat2]

Yeah, maybe not next year, or indeed ever again , she admits to cacking her pants thinking about doing glasto. Strange because she absolutely nailed it and always appears so confideent on stage, really down to earth and engaging  even allowing for her potty mouth! Love her to bits

[CaledonianGonzo]

This is one of the greatest gigs I've ever seen. This version of One and Only is incredible.

She doesn’t start chatting until a few songs in, then has quite a few long monologues and brings that wee girl up on stage and stuff.

[crocodiles]

I think the chat was one of the reasons I got a bit fed up remember her going on a bit

I feel like my 2009 missing links are coming in- those songs cut out of Springsteen and Blur that I loved are appearing this weekend. I've listened to what I have of those sets from the old coverage SO many times over the years but always wanted to see those not included. 

No Surrender was a big Bruce moment for me, and Blur with shes so high, to the end, this is a low...my memories from my first Glasto are complete.

Working during Adele as well.

So was I till 3 am Gutted

[Ayrshire Chris]

After hearing Adele me and Mrs C went to the stone circle. A special wedding anniversary. No where else in the whole world we would have rather been. 

[efcfanwirral]

I loved this Adele set. Great crowd, she was very endearing and it was something completely different from what I would normally watch and especially buy tickets for 

[MrZigster]

Aanndd Adeles just got to me.

Definitely wasn't a fan. Don't think I was intending to go. Then a kind stranger gave me a spare wristband and I thought I'd check it out.

Easily one of my best gigs ever. The wristbands made The Pyramid look better than it's ever been. And when they bought out Barry Gibb I was just gobsmacked and floored (I've owned the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack forever (nearly forty years by that point). It's still a dance/disco classic).

Never been a big fan of coldplay but went along that night and was so glad I did it was a phenomenal experience 

Makes me so happy to see stories like this. I've always been a big advocate of them anyway and don't think they deserve their bad reputation, but that set especially was just magical

2016 was the best gig I've ever been to. Though they are great beyond just Glastonbury, always an uplifting show with a great performance, show and euphoric singalong. Every time. 

Yep!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Sky to the fucking fall

[zeppelin]

Moved on to watching Sharon Van Etten in this household. I love that woman! 

[Hugh Jass]

Skyfall is great isn’t it? Best Bond tune since Tina belted our Goldeneye.

[Billy Corgan's Ego]

Adele was never my thing. Was steadfast before the festival that I wouldn't see her under any circumstance. Went from Fat Boy Slim to the Pyramid and proceeded to have one of the best 2 hours of my life - so much so that I cried through Set fire to the Rain. 

That's what Glastonbury is all about
