Watching En Vogue.  As expected, the rhythm section are a bit special.

Tell me more! Thought the set and backing band were sensational! Great arrangements too!

JJ of Biffy throwing in a Gibby (Grabber/G3) to back Alanis’s bass players LP. Great sound too.

As much as I want to enjoy and respect music, most of these Glasto performances have been dire. To the point where it almost feels like a giant windup. Listening to the intro glowing BBC intro then being confronted by the performances is a curious test of sanity, and gullibility.

 

Hope others are enjoying it more than me!

There's been some good acts on today - Supergrass, Franz Ferdinand, Alanis Morisette, Biffy Clyro and now 1975 and Fratellis. I get it might not be everyone's cup of tea, but they are mine, and these are all bands/artists that are either currently popular or have been at some point in the past 30 years.

It's always been a load of crap, the current year is no exception.

I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Each to their own.

Just caught up on English Teacher, Wet Leg, Supergrass, Blossoms - all fabulous and thoroughly enjoyed them.

 

Are The 1975 just a bit overhyped and whiny though? Each to their own I guess 😂

As Tolstoy contended in Anna Karenina, failure is much more interesting than success. I enjoy the bad acts far more than the competent ones.

 

I've got a big TV, surround sound and I haven't flushed the toilet since lunchtime. It's the just like being there, but  much cheaper.

So a festival that's been going since 1970 has always been crap and has never had any music you might have liked.

 

Fair enough 🤷🏻‍♂️

I've just got in after Gary Numan's warmup show in Frome.

That was a spectacular show. He's definitely more industrial rock than synth pop these days.

Great night.

Just got in from a gig and turned on the TV for Glastonbury and greeted with an act called ANOHNi and The Johnson’s, WTF was I watching and listening to, I just don’t get it, music just sometimes goes in some strange directions.
