BBC Coverage 2023

[MrZigster]

Kylie. Flashing back to being on shift now. I've done bar work with Shelter four times and have always been scheduled to work during the legends slot.

Never have I ever seen a manager/paid worker in attendance during those times.

I've posted before about a colleague skiving away for half an hour or so to catch some of that set. Said he'd cover for me to do the same but didn't want to risk it.

[MrZigster]

I didn't catch Miley either. Is that a Rick Rubin production? Has that kind of noise to it. Well, the intro and verse at least.

[MrZigster]

Strapline should have read "and her dad". lol

[MrZigster]

Dave. I like Dave. And I only know this because I watch Glastonbury highlight shows.

[MrZigster]

That's Janelle Monae isn't it (missed the strapline)?

Wandered into that after not being enamoured with The Cure.

Better than Janet Jackson? I thought so.

I went on a bimble after leaving The Cure, and before Janelle also caught a bit of Christine & The Queens. Always loved their performances. Proper performance art.

[MrZigster]

And of course The Cure. Only headline set I was vaguely interested in and/or could make given volunteering that year. Stayed for a few numbers. Thought Picture Of You was great but they weren't really doing it for me. Went off to find other experiences. 

[MrZigster]

Remembered I was so so sleep deprived by the end of it that year. Working and camping conditions weren't what you would call ideal.

[MrZigster]

Two nights of no coverage now. Great. I can get an early night. Lol. Like that's going to happen. I need to pull my finger out. Haven't started to get ready yet.

Your resident shouting into the ether and dancing by himself VJ.

Watching 2013 highlights...some huge enthusiastic crowds for a lot of MOR AOR:  The Lumineers, Ben Howard, Of Monsters and Men, Jake Bugg, etc

Hidden away on iPlayer is a Glastonbury’s Greatest Hits channel that’s played a few performances I’ve never seen before E.g. Portishead on the Other Stage, Django Django on the Park. Worth putting on!

I was watching this earlier, it was my first Glastonbury but the TV highlights are basically an alternate festival as I didn't see any of the ones you mentioned. Got as far into the show as Of Monsters and Men and Haim were the only ones I actually saw in person. Definitely one of Glastonbury's greatest virtues that you can have so many different types of weekend.

Cheers for this shout, got it on now

Always staggers me how bored 50% of Pyramid audiences look during the day time

Good grief. I've got it on but I have loads to do still. Could do without the distraction tbh.

[Alcatraz]

Unfortunately it now seems to just be playing out Coldplay from 2016 in full...

[MrZigster]

The Barry Gibb moment got to me again.

[MrZigster]

Arcade Fire was good there. Don't think I've seen that before.

And again! First one was during a "here's what to look forward to" montage I think.

Then PSB.

I got stung with this.

Me and my dad waiting for the F1 to start turning on and off saying "are we gonna see anything other than f**king coldplay"
