One of the best bands still touring atm,
The foos live show is an absolute tour de force.

Radiohead were damn damn good, but that set was unbelievable!

as I said don't get it - loved Nirvana , love the Queens , - TBH the Saturday and Sunday lineup has left me pretty flat - Friday was what rocked my boat all round..

That was thoroughly entertaining, don't care what anyone says..... Long live Rock and Roll!

It's not a case of "either/or" for Radiohead and Foo Fighters.... as the meme says.. why not both?

No point comparing Foos and Radiohead. FWIW I preferred last night, but variety is the spice of life and talk about a fantastic 2 headline shows!

Weird that they cancelled the 3rd night this year but those 2 make up for it

Alt J on now, I like them but for me it seems like everything else from the weekend will pale in comparison to what we seen from the Foos just now..

Open to suggestions for some other great sets to check out from the event

I'd have trust issues with anyone who says they didn't find any of this performance entertaining or doesn't enjoy a single Foo's song. Those type of people enjoy drinking orange juice after they've brushed their teeth.

For me I think Grohl as a frontman and the bands live performances are greater than some of their songs at times. Loved that gig but wouldn't be a fan of the albums as much. I don't brush my teeth.

This.

The live show is greater than the albums showcase them. Down to the energy Dave puts in a show, it's relentless and brilliant.

Twice I've seen this. What is a ked?

Similar to Radiohead last night, even if you don't particularly like their music, the talent shines through and that's something that has to be respected.

An excellent set.

Phoenix were brilliant on the John Peel stage as well.

Not a huge FF fan meself but their music is purpose built for this type of event. Thought the Radiohead performance was a case of shock and awe with a barrage of fancy lights but lacked substance.

to be fair Glastonbury was founded on alternative - hippy/punk bands - Hawkwind etc - not large scale American rock - perhaps that what I struggle with - as a festival it has gone downhill , musically for me - but there is much else to still love there.

Check out Stormzy's set on the web. I wouldn't call myself a fan but I was very impressed by the energy and the crowd were going mental.

hullabulloo

I'd say Glasto's more recent headliners are more of a reflection on the current music scene rather than the festival itself.

Home for the weekend.

By chance... I had my Foo fighters t shirt from the olympia gig 17 years ago in the bag. Just put it on absolutely buzzing from that set.

Tom Walker is pretty good

STB.

Times like This pisses all over Everlong.

The Ked. Ha Ha. I guess you say it fast.

Nothing.. and I mean "nothing" beats Everlong.

Now let's move on...

Regardless of The Who's, the hows and the music know it alls, everyone is a music connoisseur. Not a foo follower but that was 6 individuals delivering pure passion, special moment and amazingly entertaining, CLASS act, fearless

The Amazons were pretty good. Think they were on the Peel stage and there was a band I never heard of that were pretty interesting. Keir I think they were called.

Glastonbury was never punk. They hated it and Reading became the antidote to it's perceived bloat in the late 80s and early 90's by championing the punk/indie/grunge bands. Radiohead would have been more at home on a Reading stage up until 1995 or so.

Liking Warpaint!

I'd pay large amounts of money to see a Foo Fighter show where they played half the show as a Queen tribute, with Taylor out front. Fantastic version of Under Pressure!

ianob7

This phoenix set looks good already

think the terms have become blurred - Glasnbury was always an alternative festival - what constitutes punk and hippy have become merged a bit - Hawkwind and some hippy bands set the way for punk - Rotten loved Hawkwind - its an attitude to me. Anyway said my piece - goodnight - will watch the roundup.

AllGunsBlazing

Impressive beard.

Didn't they play under pressure at slane in 2015 too? They definitely played jailbreak that night too, Jesus watching that gig brought back memories of a couple of years back gotta see the foos again soon!
