Bad at the start but seemed to get better as the set went on.

Improved a little, yes, and much better on the one where it was just her with a guitar.

To be honest, I don't watch Taylor Swift for her singing

First Aid Kit the highlight for me amazing vocals.

Did they do the Renault advert?

They did.

Liam Gallagher doesn't sound too good but I think that's just him, not the sound

Sounds like a parody of himself.

I’m no fan of LG but it’s like listening to a band with earplugs in. Horrendous!

Currently playing a Liam Gallagher drinking game with the Mrs.. every time Liam sings a bum note, take a shot... absolutely ruined already

I thought Sam Smith was good.

I'm not a homophobic neanderthal though so maybe that helps.

Neither am I , but he is still ste, HTH..

While watching the Clean Bandit performance. I just couldn't take my eyes off Stephenie Benedetti...

Further to earlier discussions about sound, now watching Taylor Swift. Really bad. Can hardly make out the vocals on some of the tracks.

I am not a TS devotee, but is she becoming a bit more curvy?

Thought Orbital were somehow depressing. Their music hasn't aged well.

Underworld, for me, really still work. That banging kick drum, and the synths. Still does it for me.

I thought the middle of the Orbitsl set was a little heavy and chuggy but there's no denying Chime still sounds good and I liked the track P.H.U.K from the forthcoming album too.

To be honest, I'm probably just bitter that I missed out on the seminal Orbital performances as Glastonbury ('94 & '95?) which my friends mentioned *far* too often to me.

Compared to the set they did at Glastonbury, I thought the Underworld sound production (on TV) and some of the visual effects were appalling. Real shame as I know how good they usually are. Considering he’s 61 Karl Hyde is still one of the coolest performers out there.

Sixty cocking one? Amazing.

Still thought they were great, the setting lacked something though - grass maybe :-)
