So, what did Christopher Shale make of Coldplay's set, then?
...sorry.

Thankfully, our man on the spot, Moon Cat is seeing some good stuff. He's just texted with some top recommendations. Bonze, Dr. Meaker & Engine Ears.

The Horrors were a highlight for me as well. They really broaden out their sound when playing live. Quite psychedelic.

Whilst i tend to agree with everyone's comments that the coverage and presentation is a bit dire, focusing on the big names, I have got to disagree with your dismissive comments about Primal Scream.
Watched the 35 min clip on the BBC Glastonbury website and thought they sounded great with Higher than the sun and come together particular highlights. Never seen them done live with such aplomb.
As intimated on another thread, i have pretty much given up watching the coverage on TV, as i found it far more productive to select from a list of bands (allbeit quite a limited list so far)on the BBC Glastonbury website.

Don't know about old, but like a lot on this site, highly opinionated! I kind of agree with the gist of what you are saying, but don't feel quite so vitreolic about the likes of U2 and Mumford & Sons who i think are ok (whilst by no means my favourite bands). It does come across as a bit snobby and elitist IMO, talking about the people going to glastonbury who 'clearly don't possess such refined taste' as you.

Yeah. So, I've got an opinion. And am a bit snobby with it. Top marks for spotting it.

I prefer Primal Scream in the Vanishing Point/XTRMTR era - they played great versions of both Higher Than the Sun and Come Together around the time of the Shields' mix of If They Move Kill 'Em...I always thought Screamadelica was the Sgt Pepper of its day and diluted what others had already done, e.g. Psychic TV, The Shamen, AR Kane, The KLF, 23 Skidoo, Mark Stewart & the Maffia, Tackhead etc...Plus their Elevators' cover always sucked and if Screamadelica is so classic, why have they dropped songs/reworked the running order?
Then again, I have pretty much loathed PS since seeing them on their Riot City Blues tour...mainly as one minute they were playing great stuff like Burning Wheel, Swastika Eyes, Kill All Hippies & the one they did with Will Sergeant and the next it was Rocks, Jailbird, Country Girl, Nitty Gritty, Suicide Sally & Johnny Guitar plus Stooges knock offs...Though I objected more to some E'd up twat telling me during 'Swastika Eyes' to "get involved" - whether that meant me getting off my tits, dismantling the mass media, or signing a Palestine-petition, I don't know. In retrospect I probably should have lamped the fucker - bad vibes stem from the Scream...
