They're trying to establish Glastonbury as some sort of quasi religious experience

The irony being that it was in fact a quasi religious experience until the BBC got their hands on it, certainly was when I first went in the 80's

The thing is that it just drives people further away from caring what the media say.
 

Which isn't a good thing in a world full of unmoderated social media junk

I'm not so sure the media and the 'unmoderated social media junk' are as easily discriminated from each other as you might think, with many - prime among them the the BBC FFS - actually reporting the latter as if it's news, thereby not only regurgitating it but all too often reinforcing, or at least polarising. 

And it worked 👍

Didn’t see Smith coming, was expecting Sheeran 😁

End of Noah Kahan’s set is glorious 👍

Strange how some people keep their voice - Neil Young for one but Arthur Brown is another.

Rod betrayed his then extraordinary voice 40-years ago

I quite like this Noah Kahan fella…

 

Guild Startire 2 bass…lovely.

Seems a decent geezer 👍

Must tell y’all my Nile Rodgers story one day, suffice to say a 100% gent 👍

I'm boycotting the rest of Glasto now. For political reasons. That I won't be going into here.

 

Countryfile is on  BBC1 soon. Calm me right down, hopefully.

Countryfile is probably not going to help a whole lot mate 🙂

Caught a bit of the Scissor Sisters set last night, CMAT should take note, this is how to put on a polished professional performance.

Awesome band, the real deal 👍

I wonder how the auditions went: can you play some Paganini and some bluegrass. Yes. Now can you try on this tight red dress? 

Jeez, Rod just got the lines wrong in Maggie May! Good on him for still doing what he does, I just don’t like what he does, Glasto feeling a bit naff 😕

Rod putting NY’s performance in context, same generation, different everything else….

My speedometer goes to 260 KPH, and as it's a BMW it can reach that. That doesn't mean I have to drive that fast.

The truth of it, and nicely put  

Country to rock to grunge, and masterly across all 

That was a proper rock n roll band 👍

Drummer’s BVs are spot on

I've never seen Neil Young live.

 

I always thought he could never live up to Live Rust, especially as he grew older.

 

Feck. I was wrong.

 

That's real festival music. And his last two songs make a bigger point than any of Kneecap's...

The power of his lyrical repertoire puts the attention seeking rants of others in their place

They've sort of managed to turn a set at the biggest show on Earth into five mates having a jam in a garage but, it  works🤣

My thoughts exactly 👍 

Think NY’s bassist is on his fourth bass 🤔

….and it’s sublime

Young’s lot finally get their BVs together 👍

To be fair, there's something timeless about Neil Young. He  still sounds just like he always has; shambolic. That's his great strength, though. Long may he continue.

Magic, band feels like it’s from

the 70’s
