I don't know how they do these things but I was frustrated by the lack of Metallica coverage, seems like the bbc were doing their utmost not to play them, all I could get was a repeat of Robert Plant's performance (which was pretty good), some funk band and Goldfrapp (not bad, always welcome) but no Metallica?

They showed their whole concert live.

You're joking right? BBC 2 showed the whole set.

Heading off to Rome today to see them there on Tuesday. Can't wait after watching last night set!

Wow, really enjoyed that.

They should have opened with FWTBT though - gonna be listening to that all day:)

The first 3mins of Metallica's Glasto set last night was more exciting than Arcade Fire's whole career

Zwillinge

Recorded it last night, watching now... That's why you gotta love those boys!
A greatest hits list (understandably) but what a show!! I hope a few nay sayers wanting to sell their tickets got a right shock and ended up enjoying :-) how could they not??

Setlist was expected bar it being a bit shorter than normal. Looks good though, fair play to them. Actually excited for Thursday now!

That's one big ass beach ball!!

harvester of sorrow

Great gig,full of energy!
Thought Kirk's playing was really tight last night.

nyarlothothep

Just saw it there on bbc iplayer. A lot of energy and effort on display, good stuff. I thought Kirk playing was variable, he was really good on most of the songs but he messed up the solo on One. Lars seems to be playing a lot better.

Welsh Megaman

Great performance last night...good gesture from Lars to thank the Eavis family

Anyone else think there was too much changing of camera angles.

harvester of sorrow

Not compared to some of there dvd's!!!

Anyone catch the Bleeding Me solo that came after Welcome Home (Sanitarium)?

I'm sorry I missed the Glastonbury gig. Love to see them again in Ireland.

Not to mention how "Frayed" ended the gig!

Have to say - just because he probably won't get much credit - Lars was on form last night.

He must've been practising lately, and everytime they panned the Lars, he should just really shave what's left of his hair

crap since and justice for all-as someone said earlier the bon jovi of thrash.watched the glasto gig james speaches to the crowd were cringe worthy.

Yeah, definitely face palm stuff.

I thought the gig was good otherwise though.

Sure he's been exactly like that for years. I didn't hear any more cringe worthy than normal.....but normal for him is definitely bad!
