Did the weather keep up down there in the end then?

Hmm strange that.. i was watching the Verve set on bbc iplayer this morning but it seems to have disappeared now! Have a search around though and you might be able to find it -

BBC iPlayer - A to Z - T

Neil Diamond was a major highlight for me - I been waiting a while for that one though.

Over and above that I thought The Enemy were decent.

it did my head in tho the coverage...it kept channel changing!!

started watching the verve on bbc2......2 songs in it changed over the bbc2

dunno if you lot that have taped it on sky etc have got the full coverage or if there was a channel dedicated to the glasto coverage???

Massive Attack were spot on - Teardrop is such a tune!!
Never really had much time for Kings Of Leon before, but they were impressive.
Also liked We Are Scientists.

The BBC for their amazing camera work.
The Ting Tings.

Thought Winehouse was terrible and cannot believe they say her set was well received? It was embarrassing and the crowd were muted, that is why she kept verbally abusing them when the failed to respond to her inane witterings. Rather than sing the songs like she used to, she tries to over improvise and over cook them and change the lyrics to mention "Her Blake" every five seconds. What she does not understand is nobody gives a fcuk. In fact she was singing "I would be rather be at home with my Blake, only 17 days to go" when someone supposedly pulled her hair. I reckon someone just told her to Fcuking shut up and quite rightly so.

For the record I think she is an amazing talent, but I'm bored of her now and unlike some critics don't think it's uncool to criticise her. You compare her set with Neil Diamonds working of the crowd. Rant over.

I also saw Crowded House's set last night and thought they were excellent, especially loved their poking fun at the "wall" of security in front of the stage.

Good comments there Chris, agree with what you are saying.
We were watching Neil Diamond in the pub on the Sunday afternoon and the room went from somewhat indifference to grabbing everyone's attention in the space of about 10 minutes. A stunning performance and perfect Sunday afternoon entertainment. Inspired billing that, and perfect timing too.

As far as Winehouse goes, it's good to see people giving her a bit of stick now as she deserves it. That was a poor excuse for a performance compared to what bands like The Verve and others did. Shape up up or shove off!!!
