I want The Universal played at my funeral.

Been watching all weekend, and god damn it I wish I was there with my friends laughing, having fun and just making amazing memories.

There's a special place in hell for whoever holds the "I love sausages" flag.

Swear they are at every set!

[gigpusher]

Isn't the power of live music just phenomenal and as much as big gigs aren't my favourites usually; there really is nothing better than a big gig that absolutely nails it. Those gigs where everyone leaves still singing the songs!!

Then afterwards everyone will go home and change their gas supplier to British Gas without understanding why.

The Universal is incredible. Seeing that version gets me every time

[sime]

Bowie! Was there and it was amazing. Been looking forward to finally seeing the full set on TV. This is going to be so special⚡

[Hugh Jass]

Nice of them to put Sheeran’s set on after Bowie to ensure everyone who needs to work tomorrow gets to bed.

Yep I'm off to watch Bowie in bed. 6am start in the morning for me YAWN!!!

[JoeyT]

Dare I say it but the field doesn't look rammed for the beginning of this Bowie set...

[sedra]

Ok folks get ready - still can’t believe I was at this - Bowie - amazing stuff

Same. Every time I watch it back it gives me chills.  Absolutely incredible

[HotChipWillBreakYourLegs]

I can't believe how empty it looks for Bowie! 

[MrZigster]

That haze of smoke over the field at the start of Bowie there. You don't get that any more.

If I could go back and see them instead of the Prodigy I would

Well yes, that there was space for wax flares and a few campfires is what surprised me! 

I suppose capacity was lower then.

No that was the year the fence came down and there were 200000 on site !!! 

[Neville Street]

Do we know if this will go on iPlayer? Can’t watch it all tonight and hoping it’s going to appear post tonight’s showing like the others have

Three years on and I’m still not sure if I enjoyed the Foos or not.

I saw them at Wembley in 2008, and for  17 year old recently discovered Zeppelin fanatic, it was the best night of my life to that point.

I saw them in 2011 and the setlist was virtually unchanged, and the patter identical.

I swore I'd never purchase a ticket to see them again, unless they did a major shake up of their setlist.

Went along at Glasto and enjoyed the hits I always have, but yeah.. as underwhelming as I anticipated in the surprise department. 

[a6l6e6x]

Wish I could've gone to this but I was 8 at the time

[zeppelin]

The Blur set is a weird one for me. I skipped it for The Prodigy, and I don't regret it one bit since they're one of my favourite acts of all time. And if I went back now I'd do the same thing.

But it's the only set I watch back and kinda wish I was at.

Anyway, on to Bowie...
