Supports that it was taken out of context a fair bit, although I'll confess to not seeing at the time etc so can't be sure.
and maybe you should become someone who checks facts.
You can start a nostalgia thread for things you don't like from the year 1990. Throw in the Guns n Roses song One in a Million if you want, you'll notice no one mentioned it yesterday.
Quite what that's got to do with anything ot why you're bringing that up is quite bizarre, to say the least.
Last time I looked @stop_shouting wasn't Axl Rose
"Whataboutery". Carry on then.
What about Brexit? Neither Cat Stevens or Axl Rose have condemned that have they, the slags?!1 -
Can't we just discuss the music and the performances! Why does every thread turn into something that has fuck all to do with what we were discussing.....I.e Glastonbury! FFS!

Yesterday everyone was talking about the music. One person spoils it today as per usual.
Anyway, Lil Nas X isn't to everyone's taste but has a big crowd on main stage.0 -
Spoilt it? Why you crying about one comment you don’t like? I thought it was relevant having seen the hero worship the blokes been getting on socials today. Who made you the arbiter of what we can say on ere?SELR_addicks said:

What a set by Cat Stevens. Beautiful.

It’s huge. It’s so hard to appreciate the scale. The sounds never overlap. Due to sheer distance and direction they face (the pyramid and other stage are back to back with the backstage vip area between them.) Between each stage are paths/walkways with food/bars/shops/stalls/toilets who all blast out their own sounds too. So you could literally hear 8 or so different songs moving from one stage to the other.Sillybilly said:As someone who’s never been, I’m just trying to get an idea of the ginormousness of the whole thing. Silly question, with all the stages operating at the same time, does the sound of one ever interrupt another? Is it as loud as an indoor or major stadium gig where there are no other stages to worry about. Or are the distances just so vast that the sound doesn’t carry. Or is everyone so far out of it that they don’t give a hoot?3 -

Big blondie fan in my teens but I thought tonight's performance was completely flat2

i went every year from 87 to 99 then stopped. Still watch on tv though avidly.
this year’s highlights for me are:
the Lathums. Great band talented good tunes
working men’s club. Joy division for the 21st century. Brilliant
Rick Astley and the blossoms. Contrary to others on here I thought they were excellent. The guitarist especially.War on Drugs right now. What a fucking band. Just wow.Left field pretty good.As for the headliners
arctic monkeys. Grew on me the way they presented the songs and in the end liked it. It’s good to have something different. And if you want to know who Alex is copying look no further than Richard Hawley.GNR. expected it to be utter shite but it wasn’t. Even Axls voice was ok in parts. Not a good headliner choice.In 87 it was £21 to get in by the way6 -

Candi Station on bbc2, switch to bbc1 and it's the antiques roadshow followed by Elton John. Could all be the same programme.0

Blimey. I knew she’d be getting on and when she was sitting down I thought she must be struggling but she just started jumping around. Amazing.IdleHans said:

Wow. Cheers. That is big. I just used the overlay tool to superimpose Glasto in the Isle of Wight festival site. The latter goes into Glasto about 12 times!!rina said:
to give you an idea of the size here is the site laid over Charlton https://gsp8181.co.uk/glasto/index.php?location=charltonSillybilly said:As someone who’s never been, I’m just trying to get an idea of the ginormousness of the whole thing.

it is just vast1 -
Interesting he just said this may be his last ever UK show.0

76 years old and he is owning it - fair play. Wouldn’t say I am an Elton John super fan or anything but me and the missus already expect to know every single song.2

Great start by Elton, he sounds excellent.4

It’s taken till tonight for me to realise her name isn’t “Stanton” with an “n” in the middle. Fair play to her at 83 although the voice is clearly showing it’s age.IdleHans said:

I'd imagine he'll pop up at other's gigs or (as I've just seen Sillybilly has said) maybe the odd charity gig, national celebration concert etc.DaveMehmet said:Interesting he just said this may be his last ever UK show.
Just won't tour or organise his own big stadium stuff.0 -
Elton still has a very good voice for his age.5
