The 2013 'comfort of my own home' Glastonbury thread

[????]

PS I thought they sounded like DrFeelgood

[woodrot]

I didnt cath 'em, but how did Pil perform ? they can be a bit hit/ miss depending on Lydons mindset

[Jah Lush]

Just watching 'em now Woodrot on BBC Iplayer. Never seen John look so fat.

Here you go - make up your own mind. - http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/ej58q9/acts/acfp5v#p01c4559

Dreadful

[woodrot]

oh my. not sure the mandolin thing works too well. Probs with Pil is that it can be a bit skeletal - not exactly festival materiel. Plus most of the victims in the crowd havent heard anything apart from Rise & the pistols.

[red devil]

A daylight performance doesn't help either...

[*Bob*]

I think everyone should hand their phones in on the way in and collect them on the way out.

You've patiently waited all day and slowly picked your way to the very front row to see Dizzee, your fave act, like, EVER. During 'Bonkers', your fave song, like EVER - he decides upon a spot of crowdsurfing. Do you:

a) Enjoy this special moment through the magic of your own eyes where the sacred memory of it will live in your heart forever.

b) Stick your phone in the air, watch the whole thing on a two-inch screen and then bore people to death by showing them out of focus images of Dizzee's knee accompanied by heavily distorted music.

[*Bob*]

I make a specific exception for phones which only serve to make calls, have built-in thermometers or possess other essential features.

[MrBen]

Agreed.

The worst culprit was the tw@t on stage with Chic. At the end. The one standing right next to legend that is Nile Rogers. with an iPad in his face.

[StraferJack]

I read somewhere that teh guy who looks like he is holding an ipad actually isn't - it's someone else pointing it in front of him

so twattage was involved, but people might be associated the wrong face

Anyway, The Stones - I thought they were great, especially Country Girl and Get Your Rocks Off. Not sure who the headliners were tho

[Jah Lush]

Best flag banner of the festival - God Hates Flags.

[titch juicy]

Django Django

[StraferJack]

Strypes. Ugh

Villagers were/are ace tho

[Annette Curtain]

PIL ?

Maybe they'd be better of swallowing a few in Zurich sometime soon

Tragic really, my youth died as I watched them

I started to watch their set on Iplayer this afternoon but after about five minutes I couldn't take anymore. I tried again a little while later but it was even worse. Embarrassing. Fucking awful. I couldn't watch anymore. Yet I saw them a couple of years ago at Shepherds Bush Empire and they were fucking excellent.

PIL should always be experienced in a building with no windows in the performance area and all light electrically driven, saw them last year at the the Forum and they looked and sounded great, when performing songs.

When Rotten took it upon himself to have a go at at the security staff for doing their job, and continued to do so between, it put a bit of a crimp in the evening.

Though there was enough affirmation from the crowd for his rantings, so maybe it was me.
