Gaga... why the fuck did I decide The Specials would be a better bet?

Think it's the programs from on BBC Two at the same time & they are broadcasting live from the farm.

Gotacha ta (I thought it was one of the spec guests slots!).

Might be wrong but they are on at the same time

Saw Stormzy with about 50 other people once

Bring me the Horizon when they were full deathcore in like a pub

Enter Shikari when they only had dodgy demo EPs flying around

I mainly see heavy small bands that usually end up on download mainstage but not glasto

 

Also watching the Foals set on tv now and although I don't like the band they looked pretty good

Oh yep, me too. Also Architects and Enter Shikari but not sure they're particularly big enough to count?

GaGa on a scooter ! Brilliant

2009 was a very different time to be fair.

I don't wish any bad fortune on anyone but I hope everyone gives up on Royal Blood so I can see them again in a better venue

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

Good to hear Royal Blood speak so positively about their set and describe it as overwhelming. It did genuinely seem like they felt like that at the time.

Is Brian Wilson's set worth a watch?

It was glorious at the time, I'd say so.

[CaledonianGonzo]

You'd think these lads would look and sound a bit cheerier given that they managed to destroy the One Ring in Mount Doom.

Yes, because he still has somewhat of a voice despite needing a prompter for his lyrics. Al Jardine’s son hadnt even joined the band yet and he is the one who keeps the show afloat now since he sounds exactly like the beach boys did in their prime. 
 

Seeing bands before they hit it in the u.s are different than the uk i would suppose in a sense. Off the top of my head, Alt J, Wolf Alice, Chvrches, Tame Impala, Two Door Cinema Club, HAIM ( opening for the xx in a club ) Jon Hopkins ( opened for Purity Ring )  Editors. Saw those all in small venues with no album out yet. One of the funnier ones was Steve Aoki ( the dj ) at pretty much the beginning of his dj career opening for Hard Fi ( remember them? ) Katy Perry on the Warped Tour while I Kissed A Girl was the number one song in the country and she played to a couple hundred people on a tiny tiny stage. Same with Paramore, Enter Shikari and BMTH on Warped Tour years and years ago when that was their bag. Could probably look back on those line ups and find more I had seen too.

Brian's gigs are better enjoyed in the thick of it rather than after the fact with chin in fingers.

One of my favourite gigs of all time was when he played the Pet Sounds tent at TITP to an audience of taps aff wee bams going fucking radio rental, but the footage will never do justice to what it felt like in the bouncy as wee roasters surfed overhead using other wee roasters as boogie boards.

Matt is amazing isn't he? Far better voice than Jeff Foskett, who despite seeming like an all round nice guy, I never really got on with his high notes.

It was the missus that decided gaga for us .  Wasn’t too happy at the time but soon changed my mind.! 

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

I’m not really an especially big Royal Blood fan, but this set gives me proper tingles 

Edited June 26, 2020 by Deaf Nobby Burton

That drum solo's giving me tingles in my gag reflex.

Architects definitely count for me. Awesome

Yeah, saw Brian a couple times on the Pet Sounds tour and thats what did it. A great slice of Americana.

I saw him a couple of years ago and his voice has got a lot worse than in 2005.  Or at least, it seemed that way when he was doing a duet with Matt.  From the sublime to the ridiculous every other line.

Was the first time I'd seen or heard Royal Blood. Blew my mind at the time. How they get the melodies out of just bass and drums. Fantastic reliving that set again.

The pedal set up to get the sounds has been a thing of controversy for a while. Always fun having some secrets to the sonics.

Anyone excited for next year yet?

Watching all these sets remind me how amazing live music and festivals are, then I remember we won’t be getting any at all this summer. So ready for 2021

Yep, they are releasing them after they've been shown. 

I wish I'd realised that before staying up too late for a school night watching Metallica
