Watched most of it on TV. Blur were awful, totally let the crowd carry the gig. Watching Springsteen was like watching a masterclass of how to put on a good show. Specials were good, Maddness were good. Nothing else worth talking about imo.

Blur were no where near Oasis for being cr@p headliner.  Oasis were headling when I was there and they were shite.  I mean really really shite.

I'd head back to Glasto one day I think.  Loads of people (normally one's who haven't been) spout on about it being all corporate, but there's so much going on that you could easily spend 5 days there without seeing a band.  Generally I like smaller festivals, but Glasto is what it is and I had a bloody good larf when I went there which is what it's all about at the end of the day.

Yeah, disapointingly, Oasis are pretty tripe live too most of the time. I loved them a few years back and caught them live this year, the songs are still good (the old ones). But there is no effort in playing them. Still, I'd take Noel's voice and guitar playing over Damon's recent attempt at singing anyday. But yeah, both bands let the crowd do the work

Not many decent live bands that would satisfy a Glasto crowd as headliners these days though...

I also thought Blur were a little underwhelming and just went through the motions.I've seen Coxon play his own stuff live and he was far more animated than that. Makes me think it was all for the £'s

The next thing I'm going to say may surprise some people, it certainly surprised me, and I fully expect to be ribbed for it. I watched the highlights of the isle of wight festival and McFly were very impressive indeed. The custom shop nocaster the singer (I don't know his name) was playing looked and sounded awesome. This revelation doesn't mean I'm going to buy their albums but it certainly was an eye opener!

There, I said it  :o

I like McFly more than 90% of music mentioned on this forum. Yeah it's disposable pop, but it's done well and it's honest about what it is. And they're full of 60's pop harmonies and hooks.

And they looked so happy and energetic doing it. A complete contrast to Blur.

I remember reading in either total guitar or guitarist a few months ago that McFly all live together in the same house and spend most of their time jamming and writing songs. They also have a lot of top quality Gibsons and Fenders at their disposable.  What a great life. Very jealous.
