morning first ever topic and its not about footie shameful eh! Did anyone else think the bbc coverage of the festival was any good? Personally i think all the talk of jay z and wine lake overshadowed the real star of the weekend !talkin bout shakey of course! [color

Thought the coverage was good, have to agree about Shakey, He's a LEG-END!!
Better than some beehive bag 'ed with T.B. , trying to do a "Prezza" punch with that guy in the crowd, who I hope has since had himself checked out for Rabies!
Jay Z probably made a few quid on the side selling her "Rocks"!!

Neil Diamond :thumb up smilie:

Thought the coverage was good. Why oh why jay zed was on as headline is beyond me,he's crap and glastonbury is a rock concert and bitching on about 99 problems with a hook nicked from AC/DC just isn't on.

Seeing the verve last night restored my faith...proper proper band

still could have been worse james blunt

I caught The Zutons and The Pigeon Detectives. I wasn't to sure about TPD. However, The Zutons seemed to get the crowd going.

glastonbury isn't a rock concert, it is a music festival. They can put whatever they want on. All this talk of hip hop not being welcome is a load of crap because they've had many rappers on before and it still sells tickets. He's a performer and thats what he did, performed. The same as any other headliner or support act.

That's just what I was going to say. I absolutely detest Hip Hop, but Glastonbury is a festival of music and art, of which this is a genre.

I would have said the same, but the other year, we happened to catch Michael Franti and Spearhead - they blew us away - seen them since and they're just as good - catch em if you can

Went to see Radiohead at LCC instead - absolutley amazing

LCC? Lancaster City Council

Was it at the Town Hall? Dome? The Platform?

god i saw spearhead at glastonbury in 96 still got the mug as well disposable heroes of hiphopresy were superb as well quite enjoyed jay z kings of leon were top just made me wanna do festivals again but no camping

I also attended the more attractive event at manchester that obviously affected this years glasto ticket sales slowdown radiohead were immense, as usual!

Me and the Doris were in't West Country a couple of weks ago.
Out of curiosity we stopped off at Glastonbury.
It's got to be the most surreal place in England.

i thought it was good, and it showed Jay-Z most of the time because he was headlining the event?
but it showed alot of bands i thought though
