I genuinely like the last Arcade Fire album and prefer it to The Suburbs. Beat that.

I can equal that, with...that.

My phone is exploding from the heat caused by some of these takes.

I know Chris Martin keeps appearing all over the place at Glastonbury! 👀 but am watching the Coldplay set on iplayer and got to say I’m pretty pleased he does keep does appearing all over the place!!

I listened to Underworld from West Holts 2016 earlier today.  I was at that and was a bit underwhelmed.  Watching dance music as if it was a proper gig hardly ever works for me.  Really enjoyed the audio though.

That was my set of the weekend, got front and centre then hot footed it round to the SE corner straight afterwards for the Hot Chip Prince tribute set. Was a cracking night.

So just got round to watching Bowie 2000 for the first time.

First few tracks I thought OK, decent (I love China Girl but this part didn't blow me away). Little did I know he was getting warmed up and going through the gears and was about to produce a masterpiece of the highest possible proportions.

It is utterly, utterly astounding. The band... (particularly Gail Ann Dorsey) are on another planet.

The only way I can describe him is God-like. His energy and mannerisms during Under Pressure, the power of Rebel Rebel, the emotion in Ziggy Stardust (one of the greatest intro's of all time?) blew my face off. 

It was emotional, brilliant, phenomenal, there aren't enough words.

I read about how he didn't want it to be broadcast and his publicist alluded to the fact that Bowie knew how special it would be and to keep it sacred.

You lucky, lucky folk who were there. X

Last chance this weekend for iplayer performances

[sisco]

Sad that it’s coming to an end.  Have loved watching all the sets

Don't suppose anyone has found the full Prodigy 2009 set anywhere? Also an audio of the Hot Chip DJ tribute to Prince (audio)? Please and thank you.

I swear I might have it buried on a dvd somewhere. And other than that theres pieced together bits of the broadcast because bbc never aired it in full. I think it was missing 3 songs or so. But as stated before with the bbc staff not having total access to their archive maybe we’ll get lucky and next year there will be something like this again to compliment the festival. We know they could easily have a weekend of programming that was totally different than what we saw last month.

With most of the content finishing on Tuesday, does anybody have the details of how you can record the sets to a NAS. I was going to be all naughties and say rip.

[Gnomicide]

Just watching REM and it's bloody marvellous. 

[petewilson09]

Just watched the Foos headline set. 

Looked like a great show

[westholtschic]

Watched Freya Ridings set last night. Never heard of her till yesterday. Fantastic voice and is destined to play the Pyramid stage soon.

Thanks, I couldn't see it from a quick search... but NYC Download saved the day. This should help fill the  Iplayer Glastonbury void next weekend  https://thenycdownlow.com/2016/09/23/hot-chip-remembers-prince-dj-set-genosys-2016/

I look forward to reliving that!

Was the version on iPlayer until a couple days ago incomplete? I downloaded it and it clocks in at 1:18.

The version from iPlayer begins with Daysleeper, but according to setlist.fm, this was the 7th track of the set.

I might be being optimistic, but I am picking up a far higher level of media interaction from REM/Stipe. Stipe being back in the studio recording solo stuff, doing some vocals with Big Red Machine, interviews in some of the music press, and now this sitting apart from the main Glastonbury binge on iPlayer.
Feels a lot like someone ready to get back out there and testing current popularity, whether that is Stipe on his own or a full REM reunion is the more difficult part to predict.

Don’t get my hopes up  

[Gilgamesh69]

So REM, Macca, and Swift/Gaga/Eilish to headline next year? Nice

[Stokesy10]

Does aaaaaanyone know how to get the full Bowie video? Most of it is on YouTube in individual tracks (some have now been taken down). I've watched it a few times but I'm desperate to watch it again with some friends soon who've yet to see it. Any advice massively welcome. I'd buy the DVD off Amazon if I could afford to, but no chance any time soon!

Thank you x
