Glasto 2015

Sometimes you have to park away your musical prejudices....

just for one hour

Got a couple of cans and I'm settled down ready for Jamie T on " The Other Stage" shortly.

Paul Weller on bbc 4 at 8

Well, even tho' I don't like much of his stuff, he lived up to my Sunday afternoon expectations.

Amazing performance given his age. He controlled the crowd and he rattled off one or 2 beauties.

Still has it.

Weller on BBC4.

"Please only pee in the toilets"

Don't get me wrog, I am no saying that he isn't any good

Future islands on BBC3

sorry!! sent before finishing post

should read I am not saying that he isn't any good, his solo stuff is just not my cuppa, as polished as he is

Actually liked him in the Commodores

I'm recording the rest of Glastonbury. Will watch it another time.

I think Chit Chat has got a representative at every stage

a town called malice

Charli XCX

i watched charli earlier, i thought she was surprisingly good

JBNAY

The Who are not being shown live apart from the website from what i can make out. Chemical Brothers are on bbc3 with a 45mins delay.

The Who have been on 6Live since their set kicked off @ 2130hrs.

Daltrey's got them in the palm of his hand.

My Generation playing now ...

keep up old bean

pretty radio 6 doesnt have pictures.

*sure

Can't hear pictures.

Im watching Chemical Brothers, superstar dj's

Whos' set is brilliant, thus far.  Enjoy watching it on the box.  I just close my eyes ... and I'm there.

That's what's Glasto's about, for me

Can't believe they're showing that 'Kanye bloody **** off' set again on 601 when for terrestrial viewers there's only that or BBC3 available at the moment.

Gah, Who seem to have done a Stones and stopped live broadcast until later in the set

^ just as I was getting my spliff on

Suddenly those pictures are showing signs of life.

hahaha!

I'm suing Glasto for a refund

Chemical Brothers smashing it and i have seen a cheesy grin or 2 in the crowd.

^ and radio 6, 2, 1xtra and WHOever else comes to mind.

seriously tho, feckin' excellent first 30mins worth.  Daltrey's in good form!

FFS for me, gonna be epic!

fyi

^ I don't have a TV licence.

Wouldnt normally go for this kind of stuff but Jamie T is passable enough.

Thought Lianne Le Havas was good earlier.

Nor do i trilby and never will pay for left wing news.

Anyone else watching FFS? I'm not sure that this collaboration is working

I'm watching Weller again on 601 (red button).

So much tripe on this year on the limited availability channels - due to the BBC's insistence that Women's bloody football WILL be shown - over and over again, no matter what's on at Glastonbury.

Sack that bloody WOMAN who's the sports producer at the Beeb.

WE DON'T WANT IT.
GOT IT?

Watching a bit before Who come on, not doing a lot for me but was never much of a FF fan anyway.

Watching Balance on the red button now. Really enjoyed the last song. Think I may have seen them before on Jools?

The Number One song in Heaven

Really enjoying Balance.

- and I have definitely seen them before on Jools earlier this year - and remarked then how much I liked them.

What a great front man this bloke is.

Damn it - they're called Future Islands!

- that's the BBC buggering up the channel whatsits again because of the WOMEN'S FOOTBALL (and I'm blaming that, even if it isn't the cause!)

Yeah heard good things bout Future Islands earlier, will check em out after the who

Best set of the weekend for me was Future Islands'.
Gave them a round of applause when they went off - which I haven't done with any others.

Frontman Samuel T. Herring is a name to remember (which I probably won't)!

Definitely worth checking out, Gentlemanjohn.

Raw, inspired - and different.

Actually think i do remember em from jools...the guy wearing the naff sweater and doign all the crazy dancing. If its same guy i'm thinking of, he had a very good voice.

I will catch up with them TT.

Lionel & Pharrell were clearly touched by the occasion and were applauded off.

Am not a massive Who fan but live they are different class to the rest here.

That's the man, Gentlemanjohn!
I remember being entranced with his performance on Jools that night - just the same as tonight.
The type of bloke you just have to take notice of.

Agreed, Ibrahima.
Really enjoyed Pharrell - but Samuel T. Herring has stolen the show for me.

Will definitely catch up on the whole set now on the iplayer.
Herring is a monster!

Absolutely !

Same here Tommy, i'd forgotten about it but came back to me very easily when i read about the dancing bit, was a stand-out performance and look forward to hearing more. Also remember seeing another USA band Vintage Trouble on Jools last year and they did a monster set on the West Holts last night, i think it's worth catching if you like a bit of soul/r&b/rockabilly fusion sort of thing.

TT
check out Future Islands legendary turn on Letterman in April 2014

althought i thought Later was even better.

Full set of Future Islands not available on the i-player yet - but they do have 'Waiting On You' which is the song I saw on Jools.

Just brilliant:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/e84mxj/acts/amjgfx#p02vtvmr

Will check Vintage Trouble out, Gentlemanjohn.

AA, the Letterman turn is reported on the BBC site:

"Future Islands call themselves “too noisy for new wave, too **** for punk” and their performance on David Letterman’s show in the US last March was the indie rock moment of 2014. Judging by comments under the YouTube video (current views: 4m), music fans have watched the clip repeatedly - mesmerised (and in some cases horrified) by singer Samuel T. Herring’s dancing, and delighted to have discovered a band that’s all heart and zero affectation."

That was a great set of block rockin' beats by the Chemical Brothers on BBC3. It made everything else seem puny by comparison. New album out next month.

Will watch The Who and FFS tomorrow.

Same as anubis, CB started well fell away a bit ended good.

Will watch the who tomorrow.

Just been researching your new favourite band since s club 7 TT.

They look great, shame i missed them at glasto.

the who,stealing a living for 40 years

since s club 7 TT

Very funny Ibrahima!

This is reminding me of that day at the Olympics when you, Crisp and I were watching in the morning - and I kept seeing things on replay and thought we'd won another Gold!

the who,stealing a living for 40 years



Yeah sure !!!

We all got carried away with the Olympics. But is was so fookin great, seems years ago now.

It does indeed, Ibrahima - but that morning will live long in the memory as being a particularly hilarious day on Chit Chat.
Was wiping my eyes because of some of the comments!

Tommy agree with you about future islands very  refreshing and what a voice .

pat star why don't you just ffffffff away u r a proper roger hunt.

Yes indeedy, Digdeep.

Cracking performance. Best of them all this weekend, for me.

No argument from me on that

Sometimes chit chat can do that.

That is why some of stick around hoping, chit chat can rise again.

Then again you have made me chuckle many times, or i would not be reminiscing with you.

How ridiculous is this: Chemical Brothers on both BBC2 and the red button channel - with no other channels showing Glastonbury?

Just who thought this transmission planning up?

red button fury, hit the red button

hahaha!

lol @ digdeep

Considering the BBC are notorious for sending 500+ (mostly management) at our expense every bloody year, you would think they would get it vaguely right.  Best to watch the edited replays over the next week or so.  Suspect you really need to be covered in mud and ****, under the influence of drink and drugs and trapped in a heaving, sweating mass of deranged humanity to fully appreciate it.  Bit like posting on chit chat I suppose.

Thought the line-up looked a bit light-weight this year.  But then most of those I like are dead/Alzheimered.

An excellent post, Bodil!

fair play Mr starr

Future Islands on BBC2 right now.

Ta

Short but sweet ah well

haha! Yes, they should have shown more - far more.
You won't do yourself a disservice by looking them up on the i-player.

Tbere's something about him alright, really puts everything into the performance...lots of charisma too which is an all too rare commodity in todays music.

Aye, Gentlemanjohn.

The peice on the BBC website says it all really:

"music fans have watched the clip repeatedly - mesmerised (and in some cases horrified) by singer Samuel T. Herring’s dancing, and delighted to have discovered a band that’s all heart and zero affectation."

*piece

Have already done that Tommy and brought the cd on the strength of the tracks I heard  thanks,by the way have noticed over the years I've pop up on here they we seem to be on the same wave length musically.good luck to you

Popped

Yeah zero affectation is spot on, doesnt care what people think...i always envied blokes like that, two left feet but would get up on dance floor and happily make idiots of themselves. I would invariably join them after 10 pints when i had sufficiently metamorphosed into John Travolta!

He's himself John best thing you can be in life

Dozens of full sets are online here

bought future islands album today on strength of what saw ,  fu kanye west, bloke out of future island is biggest rock star in the world

Saw Vintage Trouble supporting The Who a couple of years ago.
Very slick outfit ,and the singer is a terrific frontman.

Decided my single highlight was the magnificent version of This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us by FFS.

I was banging on about these guys all weekend and still can't stop, thought they were utterly breathtaking and I'm generally very hard to please when it comes to new bands. Loved how the crowd were a bit subdued to begin with, but were totally rocking by the end. You had to be, they were awesome and the lead singer is spell binding.

Caught up with Future Islands set last night and thoroughly enjoyed that too, frontman is brilliant although not convinced I would be a fan of their music on a recording. Will try it to be sure, though.

Lionel RichTea number 1 in the album charts, great week for him and he will be dancing on the ceiling all night long

he was great,good strong songs,fine band,
crowd loved it and he was soo over the moon

Yep, nice when a star is humbled by it all.

watched belle and sebastian concert ,still on catch up from glasto, quite decent
