    Everytime I see Richard Hawley I always ask myself why I rarely listen to him or buy his records. He is really good.

    That's a shocking choice of an opening tune from Underworld.

    It's from their new album, I like it. But I can imagine many thinking wtf, you'd expect them to start with an anthem.

    It's an ok tune but isn't great live. The new album's not great imo. Dark Train comes on and straight away they sound way better.

    God I thought the crowd would've gone mental when Jumbo started. Barely even a hint of recognition.:( Love that tune

    They haven't got an awful lot to choose from in fairness. A lot of their best material sounds dated and just wouldn't work in that setting. A great act in their day, but they're well past it. Their new material is desperate.

    Not past it... Just a poor set. Not festival friendly .. Too many new album tracks to start

    Were they ever good outside of a club? I've never enjoyed them at festivals.

    Rez sounds really slow to me, no energy at all. No energy from Karl Hyde either.

    The doc that has just come on BBC 4 looks cool. Kinda instantly glued to it. The history of the vinyl album, kind of thing.

    Enjoyed watching it again last night, the BBCs coverage is brilliant. Underworld looked amazing, slow enough to start off but by the end of it they were great, I really like their new tune Ova Nova. Was watching a bit of Sigur Ros as I was going to sleep they sounded pretty nice, as did Daughter earlier in the night. Muse weren't my cup of tea at all.

    The line-up didn't really suit me, as they say, but still something interesting stuff came through. The Syrian music didn't really do it for me but it was a nice story and a lot of respect to Damon Albarn. There was a weird Ukrainian band on one stage that was interesting too. And thought Savages were fun and quite like Christine and the Queens, who I heard before on Jools Holland, but not sure I like the idea of bands miming which they seemed to be.

    Ya, I thought Muse were possibly miming? If so that's a disgrace. Who else do you think was miming?

    It wasn't on any of the stages, but where they have the acoustic mini-stage by the BBC studio. Christine and the Queens played Tilted, which I think is a really great song, but the giveaway was when the presenters came over to chat to her straight afterwards and her microphone wasn't even switched on! I think she was probably miming when she played it on Jools Holland as well.

    There's probably quite a lot of it goes on that we never even hear about.

    Yeah Dakahbarba were that Ukrainian band they look class kinda reminded me of Goat with their costumes.

    I'd hope bands weren't miming,could be a delay on the feed or something maybe somebody better versed in AV technology might be able to clear that up?

    I think Emerson was a big part of Underworld back in the day, their quality dropped a lot when he left.

    I thought that was just they still had some weird sound effect turned on for her mic.

    Could be possible alright. I did think her voice sounded too pure to be live, but I wouldn't swear on it. She's a terrific performer anyway and Tilted is a fantastic song.
