Sadly I've been on various trains for the past 3 hours, and missed it. I'm assuming that it will be on BBC iPlayer though, in which case I will watch it tomorrow. Also intending to watch Gorillaz on there as well, since I missed them on Friday night.

It wasn't bad, but was eclipsed by Muse. They were outstanding, even bringing on The Edge for the best version of Where The Streets Have No Name that I've heard for a long, long time.

And I msut say, throughout the show, I kept thinking there's only really been one band with such an energy and sheer power on the stage, coupled with such a high level of technical prowess: Led Zeppelin.

And also; Wolstenholme's pipe was pure class.

I saw him there also... or more saw the giant screen. I was in the line for Jay-Z's pit, being practically crushed against the purple wall to the right of the stage. (actually it didn't get bad until after Stevie Wonder's show when everyone started pushing and shoving to get into the pit)
But it was worth it to see Jay-Z up front!

I recorded it from BBC HD - but shouldn't this be in Misc. as it is music-related? Not OT!

It was at the Glastonbury Festival last night and there was a lot of coverage on the BBC - I think you can still get the video off the BBC website - although it may only be available to UK residents......

I have it recorded on my Sky Box in HD!!

Just to say the TV coverage of Nathan Watts is great - because he is centre stage right behind Stevie's piano - so he is in virtually every shot - with a nice flame maple burst Bossa 5 - I think! Like an orange/red burst with maple neck - very nice!

When I saw The Edge I was upset. Covering U2 is the least cool thing that Muse have ever done. And they were nowhere near as good as 2004.

I didn't see them in '04, but I think Muse have license to pay homage to one of the biggest bands of the last 30 years. But you have to admit:
Wolstenhome's pipe was class

I caught him at Bonnaroo this year too, and you're right, he and his whole band were spot-on. Great, great show.

I saw it.... from the audience

The atmosphere was something else. And the music... well I think you can guess

I also saw George Clinton with Parliament and Funkadelic, another awesome show. Just to gloat some more, I saw Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood from Radiohead in a secret show and was about 10 rows from the front in a huge crowd. I have officially had my best weekend ever!
