They were a bit good, no? 

 

Not seen much chat about them on here, but they were completely on point.

[Badlands]

I missed them and seen some comments about them miming but they sounded good on the iplayer.

 

Talk of them shutting the stage down and bad booking management always seemed far fetched.

I thought the medley went on too long, sort sucked the energy out a bit, but apart from that they sounded fantastic and the vibes were good. Sort of wished it was busier as crowd felt quite small

To be fair that was only one guy, and he's no stranger to bad takes.

Thought they were fantastic. Voices were toight as hell and the entire performance was on point. Knew they would be fun and a good vibe but was actually bowled over by how great they sounded.

Looked great as far as I can tell from the video footage. Putting them up against Alanis was moronic scheduling

Yeah they were excellent, especially Free Your Mind. From that song on, the band seemed to open up a bit and they hit a new level.

I thought it was amazing until realising it was definitely lipsyncing which ruined it for me sadly

It didn’t look like it on tv

I got that a few times, but then the new member would start singing and her vocals were definitely live, and subpar compared to the others, and I'd reassess. But maybe that's part of making the illusion work.

Mics were on but real low. Increased in volume here and there over backing vocals. 

 

Similar to TLC. "The early evening West Holts backing track slot"

That was my take - it was a mixture of both. But many of the vocals were live so I didn't have any issue with it. It's not really much different from pointing the mic at the audience when there's a note you can't hit, which plenty of acts did throughout the weekend.
