Wouldn’t they have mentioned the Stones last night when Jo and Mark were introducing the footage?

”Here is some never seen before footage now... and you’ll be able to watch the whole thing tomorrow!”

Yep - I'm talking out my arse!

Great point - I remember my mate in 2000 texting “I’ve just seen this band called Cold Play (sic) - really good”...

Waiting for the first eFests scamp to reply to this with “Watching Coldplay will make you sick!” 😂

Just watched the 2019 highlights show from last night and it was like I was at a different festival - which is the joy of Glastonbury, 150,000? people having 150,000 different festival experiences. 

The only featured sets that I saw were Idles and The Cure (and I only saw the 2nd half of The Cure from right at the back). The only things I felt I'd missed out on were Comet is Coming because I went to Lauryn Hill - still pissed about that - and Chems because I was at Hot Chip - but you can't be in two places at once.

That’s the amazing thing and also bad thing about Glastonbury, you could replay the same festival over and over and have a 1000 different Glastonbury’s. All completely different and all amazing, yet you just get the one shot at it.

I remember after my first Glastonbury I was mega depressed for a while, just going out on normal nights out to the pub etc, seemed so frustrating Glastonbury appears for one week with almost infinite possibilities but you can only do it the once, seemed such a waste.

Here’s hoping.

That 2004 set was from my first ever Glastonbury, would love to see it again.

Same! IIRC there's a split second view of the top of my head in there too. I was about 2 from the front, the flames during Live & Let Die kept steaming up my specs 😂

Seems an odd choice. Wonder if they've kept it back on purpose because they have him for next year already? Not sure what the reasoning would be exactly, but it does seem like a glaring omission. Or maybe they don't have and don't want to fuel speculation?

In fairness if there's even the chance of him playing next year I wouldn't put 2004 on the BBC. Maybe Hey Jude and a couple of other tracks but not the whole set. 

For a start it won't be much different - similar songs in a different order, and in reality 17 years later isn't exactly going to be better. Fine for those of us who didnt go to 2004, but most people won't go back and watch it without being prompted which is how it should probably stay. I dont think there would be favourable comparisons if "normal" Glastonbury goers watched a chunk of 2004 this year. 

Everyone I know reckons "his voice is gone he should've retired" (has it?) - that was the reaction of my whole group to the announcement.

Loved watching that. Was one of our must sees. Admittedly with 50 others!  Their drummer has the best hair in the band ! 

 

Fab aren't they! As is that hair!

Ah, they played never seen footage from the Stones last night in the clip show. I'm guessing they'll do the same for Bruce over the weekend.

Pretty sure it's been confirmed somewhere that Bruce is on tonights live show.

I'm just watching Elbows 2011 Pyramid set. I have always loved them from very early on ,met Guy Garvey in the toilets at the Apple store in Regents st when they had just released SSK 😁. I was at this somewhere by the sound stage,  texting my brother who was listening by our tent in Kidney Mead, to come down, he was not a fan then, got converted by One day like this at the end and by then it was too late 🤣. But really shouldn't this band now be headlining, and before we get the naysayers, they have a tremendous back catalogue now with one if the best front men I'm the business and would put on a great show as a Sunday Pyramid headliner. It's a mystery to me why the haven't. 

Should have headlined instead of Arcade Fire in my opinion.

Watching the 1975 Glasto set and can see why people would say they aren't headliners based on it. All I'd say is watch their Reading headliner set, it's a billion times better.

Aye. I'm not a fan but that's certainly demonstrates their headline credentials.

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
