The best slot I've seen so far is the Robert Plant & Alison Krauss one, but I haven't managed to see the Paul McCartney one yet.

Sometime when they don't put them on iplayer it is because of copyright issues, I don't know if that is the case with this!

Must look out for Robert Plant on iPlayer

Elbow brilliant . I’m enjoying all of it . Not interested in „ doom gloom“ comments

It's stage presence and charisma and the crowd are loving it

Booze and substances may be helping. ?

Some of my younger friends are there ?

Lindylou it is a catch-up.

I thought Diana Ross was brilliant and certainly not miming.
The best act was George Ezra, the secret performer on theJohn Peel stage. I have loved all of it - if only I was 50 years younger!

I usually watch Glastonbury in the hopes of catching a glimpse of my son. But this is the first time in six years he didn't get tickets, so I've not watched much.

I did watch Diana Ross, and oh dear. I really wish I hadn't. She was the first proper concert I ever went to, and she was phenomenal. Her dress back then (late 70s/early 80s) was similar to the one she wore tonight, but the bat-wing sleeves on that dress went down to the ground, and when she stood for the first song, with her arms outstretched, the dress formed a projection screen from her shoulder to her feet, and they played a video of her. I wish I'd just stayed with my memories, and not watched her tonight.

Very cynical Merlot.
My DS went for many years and did not do drugs.

Nothing there for me. Attended The Eagles concert last Monday in Liverpool...now that was fantastic...great musicians.

The Eagles in concert on Sky Arts now....I turned over from Diana Ross after thinking she was bad at the Jubilee.

My favourites have been Diana and the lovely Olivia Rodrigo who did a cracking duet with Lily Allen. They sang F*ck You to the American judges involved in the Roe vs Wade decision. Quite apt

And now the sublime Elbow with my favourite song of theirs. Been to see them a couple of times and they put on a great show

merlotgran Sun 26-Jun-22 20:20:42

I doubt that applies to everyone, dragonfly.

Anyway, it was meant to be one of those rare things on Gransnet these days…A joke!

Hiraeth Sun 26-Jun-22 20:26:50

Elbow brilliant .Very emotional

dragonfly46 Sun 26-Jun-22 20:27:27

Sorry Merlot ??

dragonfly46 Sun 26-Jun-22 20:29:57

I am just wishing I was 60 years younger when I used to sit in the gods at the local empire and watched Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Adam Faith, Cliff Richard and many many more.

Sorry Merlot ??

No probs. ?

Late again to the party.
The White Stripes.
I love them. smile

Zoejory, Hiraeth

Just been watching Elbow. ?. Nothing tops them. Saw them live a few years ago and they're even better live, aren't they?

MissAdventure Sun 26-Jun-22 20:41:09

I love Elbow, too.
I enjoy watching their audiences, they seem to really feel their songs.

Casdon Sun 26-Jun-22 20:45:00

Elbow fan here too.

MissAdventure Sun 26-Jun-22 20:47:04

They're underrated I think.
Bum! Wish I'd has the tv on when they were onstage.

volver Sun 26-Jun-22 20:48:55

You can see them on catch up MissA. I'm watching them again right now. smile

Is it only me who thinks they are reminiscent of Genesis before they got pop-y?

Chocolatelovinggran Sun 26-Jun-22 20:49:00

So, in one week, I've enjoyed Mr McCartney , The Eagles, (on screen) and The Beach Boys - live in Kent. What a fabulous group of geriatrics!

MissAdventure Sun 26-Jun-22 20:49:43

Time for me to do something else for a bit now.
I do not like this music at all.

MissAdventure Sun 26-Jun-22 20:51:22

I haven't got catch up or anything like that.
blush
I never know how to do all that stuff.

MissAdventure Sun 26-Jun-22 20:54:45

What a,magnificent looking woman. smile
Never heard of her before, but wow, her skin!!
