Glastonbury - Anyone watching?

Loved Elbow earlier on.

Watching Radiohead brings back memories. Went through a phase of listening to them morning noon and night c. 20 years ago. They're brilliant but quite dark.

I remember being on the Kanye West thread here a few years ago when we ripped the piss out of him.

What does everyone think so far?

Totally with you on the elbow and Radiohead! Wish I was there!

SimonNeilshair · 23/06/2017 22:34

I'm watching First aid kit on iplayer, love them. Lorde was good too, totally wish I was there

I've been listening to them on 6music so quite a bit ahead of the tv coverage. They are so so so good. One of the best bands I've seen live. Thom Yorke is so clever.

I don't know Brutus I am getting on and like sitting here in comfort with my little gin & tonic and being able to go to the loo without queuing and holding my breath!

I love this song but God it's so sad Sad

Am awaiting the Flaming Lips on the red button. I know it sounds snobby but so many of the acts now are so commercial and I just don't think it's what Glastonbury was ever meant to be. Or perhaps I'm just old.

I've just turned on and just about to turn off again , what a dreadful racket . However my dd just made me laugh reading something on line apparently the crowd applauded a 3 minute guitar tune up before the set started and were tweeting about the new minimalist song ! , I do admit it must have been hard to tell the difference . I assume by this time the crowd are so pissed or doped it wouldn't matter what they played . Enjoy if this is your type of thing .

Floralnomad · 23/06/2017 22:45

Apparently that may be fake news ! Does anybody who knows about these things know if I will be able to hear the Will Varley set tomorrow , he's on the Avalon stage late afternoon .

Thom Yorke's voice hasn't lost anything with age.

I feel nostalgic almost to the point of chest pain where did that twenty years go?

StayAChild · 23/06/2017 23:09

Few bands sound better live than recorded. Radiohead is right up there. Amazing sound.

BrutusMcDogface · 23/06/2017 23:11

PantPlot- yes, this. I actually squeezed my eyes so tightly shut there were tears....I've only had a couple of ciders!

FrankiesKnuckle · 23/06/2017 23:28

I'm saving myself for the Foos tomorrow night and hopefully catching joe Goddards (from hot chip) set at the park stage on iPlayer.

This is amazing Grin

Saw them in the RDS in Dublin in 1997. I had been smoking something with my then BF so don't remember a lot. It rained and I think Massive Attack were supporting.

Just watching Radiohead. I've got goosebumps.

NormaSmuff · 23/06/2017 23:37

So emotional

Yourownpersonaljesus · 23/06/2017 23:43

It was 25 years ago that I went to Glastonbury (more of a Reading girl). Mostly went for Carter USM and The Levellers. Good times.

I've just been googling Thom Yorke and was reminded of his late partner. The reissue of OK Computer has been dedicated to her Sad

It's no wonder that is so intense.

I listened to Royal Blood on 6music whilst cooking dinner and they were awesome. I then caught the end of their set on the tv. W.o.w! I then watched Elbow who were good, esp Grounds For Divorce, and now Radiohead. So good. I am also looking forward to Foos tomorrow and see if I can watch a few others on the red button.

Humansareidiots · 23/06/2017 23:48

I know I'll probably get flamed, but op did ask "what do you all think'
So here's what I think.

Radiohead are pretentious and overrated.
And listening to their music right now is sucking the soul out of me.

BrutusMcDogface · 23/06/2017 23:50

Humans- turn it off, then.

GColdtimer · 23/06/2017 23:50

Wish Radiohead did more of their old stuff (showing age!)

I saw them in oxford with super grass in 2001. A kind of homecoming gig. Best gif ever despite the pouring rain.

Enjoyed elbow and first aid kit. Tried to get tickets but failed.

tkband3 · 23/06/2017 23:52

So enjoying Radiohead - taking me back to the tent in Victoria Park and Shepherd's Bush when I was 35 weeks pregnant with DD1... Elbow were amazing too. Saw Guy Garvey last year at the Southbank and he was brilliant.

I'm filling up here. I've had three gins though in my defence.

Not sure whether I wish I was at Glastonbury festival (had a couple of really crap times there crowding/mud) but would love to see Radiohead again.... think they're amazing his voice just hits a place in my head can't describe that well...and the music is beautifully crafted... so emotional
