The mix on this Texas track is weird as hell, fading up the audience for the Yeahs then immediately down again?

Thought they could have shown a better one - ‘Say what you want’ had a lot more crowd interaction.

[MrZigster]

Just got back to FF. Did I only miss Texas?

[Drinky]

Damn this Carly set was a party

[Serenefishy]

They have already got rid of a lot of the sets 😔

Arctic Monkeys seem to have gone already which is a bit of a burn on them. I think I read somewhere that IPlayer can only store a certain amount of content at once for some reason.

Everything's still there as far as I know. Arctic Monkeys is here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0frqb9f/glastonbury-arctic-monkeys

It's definitely still there, I've just checked. In fact it says it's available for 11 months, rather than the usual 28 days.

[Serenefishy]

Weird I’m not seeing it on my TV IPlayer along with quite a few other sets.

Probably just Virgin Media being a sh*thouse. As you were.

[MrZigster]

Haven't seen anything yet that's made me think, "damn I missed that".

When did Alex Turner forget that he's a lad from Sheffield and not a Vegas crooner? Oh yeah. The last time they headlined. Their first headline set was their best ('07? CBA to look it up. Shirley Bassey year).

I've got Virgin media too. It's just some of the stuff is difficult to find, but it's definitely there.

[GNR]

Did they do the whole set in "the club style"

[MrZigster]

Stock Aitkin & Waterman numbers live on The Pyramid? Not what it was is it? (he types, and then thinks, "Oh yeah. Kylie") There's probably more examples.

And that's the closest we've got to Queen with the We Will Rock You solo.

[Punksnotdead]

FFS, even Neil Young didn't string a song out like Rick Astley has done here! I'm sorry, I don't understand the adulation - it's f**king shite!

Yes, Texas was the first one. 

[MrZigster]

Raye? Not aware of of this act. Not Amy Whitehouse.

[Watergirl]

On a night shift, managing to watch bits. Seems almost like a different festival from the one I was at.

Kelis and Young Fathers are two that look good that I didn't see.

And now it's time for a 3rd rate Amy Winehouse impersonation! This highlights compilation bears no relation to what I saw last weekend. I'm out - time for bed!

Aww that's a pity. Sweet dreams.

first few acts on all stages generally don't get recorded. Presumably due to staffing/shift hours. It's a long day if you need to be there at 11am to set up and get everything tested to record a broadcast mix, especially after finishing after midnight the previous night.

Waterboys fans held a petition a few years ago to get the Waterboys filmed, when they were on an early Pyramid slot. Lo and behold the BBC obliged. It was still up on YouTube the last time I checked.

I made it to The Pretenders. One of the great singles bands. Certainly the most enduring to come out of that crowd that included The Pistols, Banshees, etc... from that era.

Listened to them from my camp in Paines!

At camp while there's acts happening?

I can't really talk. I semi dozed through Arctic Monkeys in my tent after only intending to quickly head back for something that I'd forgotten. And I've forgotten what that was now.

Quite enjoyed that rapper on Other. Who? Missed the strapline. Stryper?

[MrZigster]

This lady in red is good. Again missed the strapline.

[MrZigster]

Guitar god time (GnR obvs).

[gooner1990]

Didn’t notice Axl Roses voice being that bad when I was in the crowd!
