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!

Didn't they open with Jailbreak?

Glasnbury was always an alternative festival

Not by the late 80's. It had a shocking image problem at the time and was verging on irrelevance. By 1991 Reading was the summer music festival to go to if you were in your teens or early twenties. Glasto was for mum and dad's generation.

I'm assuming the trick 'failed' if he could stand up from the glass on camera!

I'm about 15 mins behind on BBC2, Phoenix just over, some dude from NI with a beard doing something to his budy, reluctant to switch over as the temptation to rewind back to the beginning of Foos is mighty, am I missing anything on any other BBCs?

Not a Foo Fighters fan, I barely recognised any of the songs tonight and they all seem a bit samey to me tbh. But from a performance point of view that's how you keep a crowd entertained for a couple of hours. It was fast, loud and relentless and the crowd were loving every minute of it.

Personally I'm a Radiohead fan, but I could do without quite so much of the electronic bleeps and weird disjointed rhythms, although having seen them a bunch of times the songs do take on a different life when played live compared to the album versions. And I don't care if it's unfashionable now at this stage, but Creep is still my favourite Radiohead song and it was great to hear it live again.

were ther not a lot of the new age travellers going ? I know thats how it founded - that particular era is a bit of a blur to me - was at an early punk Reading festival (epic) - sadly thats a bit of blur to me too - I was too young

Lie down on a load of broken glass, asked the presenter to stand in his belly and not a mark on him . You could hear the glass moving but nothing pierced him

Same as but I am now! Brilliant gig, watched Radiohead after as I had it taped, missus hated it,so that spoilt it a bit, but I enjoyed most of it, 2 different but excellent gigs.

I think the crowd interaction stuff with Grohl went on way too long. But that's probably his way of letting the other lads, especially the drummer, to have a wee breather between the songs.

Why did Grohl feel the need to tell the crowd that he cursed more times then Adele?

Why are BBC showing people perform one song in their own studio rather than show the actual festival?

Not showing Barry Gibb live is strange.

Not every artist allows their set to be broadcast live. Some won't allow any coverage, or will want veto over it in case the mix was poor or they had a bad set.

Watching Liam Gallagher now. His new stuff is very good and the Oasis classics are great to hear again live.
