I love the eternal Radiohead debate 
The fact that they change direction so often & make music that challenges you to get it is exactly what I like about them. For me there's nothing in the straight ahead Gonzo rock of the Foos, although they give good show, I freely admit, but I sat through the whole of the Foos & at several points thought - hang on, that's a Chuck Berry/Scotty Moore riff and it was.
it's Radiohead all day for me, something new every time.
I love that they did Lucky near the beginning of their set as it's one of my favourite songs they've done.

I really appreciate their later music too, In Rainbows was great can't say I loved Moon Shaped Pool though to be honest.
As for Atoms for Peace, Thom teamed up with the wrong Chili Pepper.

The bass on Stuck together pieces though. I really appreciate their later music too, In Rainbows was great can't say I loved Moon Shaped Pool though to be honest.

I first saw Future Islands on Jools Holland a while back, but the daft dancing kind of put me off them. Now however, I'm really getting into them! Their songs all sound quite similar but it looks like they put on a very good live show.

The Foo Fighters set was just amazing. I mean when they started to play Run and the guitar kicked in, lights flash, crowd goes mental. I'd have given anything to be there. I haven't been to a festival in over a year and I miss the crowds. I miss the mosh pits and I miss the chaos.
I'd have really liked to see Royal Blood too, again yet more awesome guitar riffs you can really jump around and pit too!

Watched about half of a Best of Glastonbury prog on BBC2 last night.
They limited each act to one song ,which was good as they played some of my favourites ,showed the Difford and Tillbrook
Up the junction with kazoo backing band which was genius and at the end ,with only 2 minutes left they showed something
by Ed Sheerboredom and I switched over.

Killers smashed it with All These Things and Mr Brightside....Brandon said that 'you do the John Peel stage twice in your career, once on the way up and once in the way down'.....I feel this was a big of a swan song for a fantastic band. The crowd were amazing....must admit I had tears in my eyes singing along with my teenage daughter. Those two songs in particular bring back so many many memories singing along in the car.
They headlined the Pyramid stage ten years ago on the Saturday night. Good, but far too quiet - I was near the farm and I struggled to hear them over the people around me.Eddie Strohacker said:
Every band I ever played in - s
tting my pants up until the first song's done, then it goes away. Never shaken that off.
NormL and natural, every performer at any level will admit to pre performance nerves. s soon as the first notes are played it's like a release.tting my pants up until the first song's done, then it goes away. Never shaken that off.MitchT said:
They're showing Ed Sheeran again in BBC1. Can't be arsed turning it over 'cause I'm off to bed soon. It's like watching a support act.
I caught the first two minutes tonight but I did watch most of his set last week. I laughed at all the girls going mental in the first row and a guy totally disinterested and playing on his phone. I don't get the hype at all. Worse still my daughter has asked me to get tickets for his tour. No doubt they'll be vastly overpriced and it annoys me they sell tickets a year in advance.
