Would like to see the full Miley set. Apparently she also covered Led Zeppelin, Metallica and NIN!

Words I thought I would never use -

I must look up that Miley Cyrus performance.

Was the NIN song the reworking of Head Like A Hole from the Black Mirror episode she was in? That was shown on telly.

Yip, I posted on the thread on the gig forum where the grumpy pants hang out. She also done Jolene, she usually does a brilliant version of it.

Was it on the set after Kylie?

Yep, only for fifteen minutes though.

No time for Papa to bust out ‘Achy Breaky Heart’.

Yeah, when I turned it back on, at about 7.50.

Cor Y Penrhyn on BBC Four right now

Sing it, boyos!

Darn dust in my eye.

Is that Paul Simenon from the Clash playing bass with Damon Albarn ? I knew he looked familiar, just twigged it now. Last song they played was very reminiscent of the Clash song. (Whose name escapes me for the moment - you know the one - There ain't no need for ya.

Edit. Straight to Hell is the song.

Some shower of moaning sh!tebags on the Glastonbury thread...

Must have turned over before that after losing interest in Albarn's thing - curious now - perhaps it'll be put up on YouTube

Holds the bass a bit higher than in his days with the Clash, but still makes cool look as effortless as any man in rock ever. Not the biggest GB&TQ fan i have to say, but that set was enjoyable. Choirs can be a bit over indulgent at times but worked well there i thought.

Cure time

Hope they play ‘A Forest’.

I saw The Cure at a festival once and I thought they were a bit low energy to be playing late night ... fine songs but when you are shivering and the weekend is catching on you maybe something a bit more uptempo is needed.

Having said that, Pictures of You is a great song, anytime of day or night.

My 6 year old son just walked in, wanted to know why they were old people, and then that guy looks like a zombie. At least my daughter was willing to see through it and appreciate the music.

Robert is sounding great

Really strong - very impressed. Although the BBC are showing The Cure and the effortlessly cool Kamasi Washington at the same time. Taping that now as it looks like he and his pals (and dad) put on a really good performance.

I get what you're saying, damn fine back catalogue of songs though. Plenty of crowd pleasers, which hopefully they will play. Sound great too. (Even if Robert does look disturbingly like Kat from Eastenders these days

Classic - one of those once-off pieces I think of as "songs with a life of their own" with a striking sound that a band comes up with early, not revisited by themselves or others, if that makes sense. Don't know how much of that gets reproduced live (can't remember if I've seen concert footage)

As ever, hats off to the BBC for their excellent Glasto coverage.

though I was hoping they'd show a bit of Dave (admittedly based so far only on his song "Black"); or maybe they did on one of the 'buttons' I don't have

Jordan 199

I like the stage lighting.

AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*albeit not an encore*

This is so much better than I expected

Was it one of the incarnations of Oxegen? Sounds remarkably like the last time I saw them. Was a long damp day and they were last up, but by then I just wanted to get home so left before they finished to get the bus back to Dublin in order to beat the crowds (I was day ticketing it)
