I suspect the Foos are loving this just a tad.

Awesome entertainment.

Think I saw Dave Grohl with Paul McCartney at Anfield in 2008 .
This is special isn't it.

Seminal.

Foo Fighters doing a great gig, and look like they're loving being there

[glazbagun]

Atching the Radiohead set right now- loving the "this performance contains flashing images" midway through Paranoid Android- anyone who cared would be dead by now!

Such an awesome band, can't believe it's 20 years since OK Computer. Wish I'd seen them more.

Radiohead were exceptional. Music as art.
Tonight is the polar opposite yet somehow just as satisfying.
God I love music.

Elbow and XX we're pretty good, Foos are doing a good job

Roger Taylor has been spotted stageside. I dunno, maybe that's too many drummers.
Is Josh Homme about? Be good to see some Grohl drumming.

Either would be good, Dave Grohl does like turning up at QOTSA gigs.

I'm pretty certain I spotted Lars Ulrich at the side of stage during Royal Blood yesterday.

Just reflecting on this. Radiohead a returning Glastonbury legend with a 25 song set, as introverted as ever but by common consent tearing it up & tonight a band debuting as headliners interacting heavily with the crowd & smashing it just as much. What a broad church music is, literally everyone welcome.

Got to say, the Foo Fighters are putting on a great show - hard to dislike even if you are not a fan (I'm not)


Radiohead though... sorry, I've spent over 20 years totally missing the attraction of their music so I thought I'd give them another go - watched the whole set...

Jesus, the Emperor really is bk naked still -

For me, the Foos aren't saying anything with their lead lines Chuck Berry wasn't saying 50 years ago. Horses for courses

But proper showmen.

I don't think the FF's songs would sound substantially different without the lead guitar either!
Chords and shouting are what they do (very well )

Thom Yorke's voice and Jonny Greenwood's teenage posing are fairly off-putting too

"Three more hours"

[Dal3D]

Monkey Wrench - Foo Fighters

Dave Grohl..

"Can I just finish this Foooking song!?!?!"

Longest song ever!

Amazing performance (so far) by the Foos. Wondering how long it's going on for...

Discovery of the weekend so far is British Sea Power. Never heard them before but liking their sound. Very reminiscent of my youth listening to The Cure, Joy Division, Jesus & Mary Chain, etc.
