Glastonbury live thread

[Arabels]

Anyone watching? I thought I’d make a thread we can drop in and out of to chat about what’s on.

Texas are playing right now. What an absolute bloody delight to see Sharleen Spiteri, looking exactly like herself at 55, giving it all. Her voice is still amazing. Rock on!

@Jellykat watching this, I feel like I'm coming up right now 😎

I've found my kindred spirits on this thread 😆

Wow they are Gods!

Yeah - it’s not so much the lyrics!!
🤣

Umm Axl looks surprisingly good considering…but the sound/ vocals aren’t really going great, are they?

@smurfmonkey -- now that's a song!!!

My friends are there and I can guarantee that’s exactly what they will be going! 🙂

Ffs doing

I’ve always loved that line 😂

along with “turn around bitch I’ve got a use for you” 😂 terribly inappropriate but I used to love blasting that out of my bedroom when I was 15 😂😂

at the end he will make like a tree

Slight wrong in that Axl recorded himself having sex with Steven Adler's girlfriend and put it in the song of course. But I still love it 😁

With difficulty 😂. The main big paths are lit but other than that it's dark. Usually it's possible to see a little bit by the light of the moon and many people do use torches, but also many many people spend excess time stumbling around completely disorientated before the eventually locate the right camping field and hopefully the right tent, after tripping over various guy ropes and falling onto tents. Some never actually locate their tent...(may have happened to me once many Glastonbury's ago!)

Axl’s vocals are disappointing, but Slash is reliably excellent.

Tearing off tights with my teeth.

was my awkward mum one. When I was younger and now I am a mum.

Makes me feel old.

What I’d do for a bit of Deep Purple or Led Zeppelin.

Is it a sound issue? It's like his mic is turned down and being drowned out by the guitars.

Bet they don't do One in a Million..

That Leftfield set was brilliant. Not sure I'll stay up for Norman. Saw him and Carl Cox at the inaugural Rockness. As someone of great standing in the Scottish music scene opined "it's just a bloke playing records in a big field"!

Being cynical maybe it’s deliberate

😂

We’re a bit behind (Welcome to the Jungle) but are they showing the words on a monitor at the front of the stage (facing the band)? Anyone else spot that?

If they did they’d never be invited back 😂

Slash has turned into Danny the drug dealer out of Withnail and I.

Pretty standard for a lot of bands, even the best of them forget the words they've been singing for 30 years 😂
