Re Paul McCartney
There is a file availlable that shows the performance in a good light
My second youngetrst who loves the Beatles is watching it now and thinks its great.
On a reasonably large 65" screen it looks good and sounds good the comments about the soundmix are interresting on the songs I have seen/heard it sounds quite reasonable
Now that's quite interesting. The "unofficial" version I got has the intro by Jo Whiley apart from that missing from the i player version the video is the same. It is missing the BBC Logo There is a file availlable that shows the performance in a good light

From a quick comparison on a couple of songs the audio on the unofficial version is better, a bit richer
As this was available from early yesterday it seems that someone involved was able to borrow the whole thing and upload it
Despite some of the comments on here I tend to agree that his voice isn't the same. But it's still "him"
And its a bloody good show
The choice of songs I think is pretty good as its a massive back catalogue to choose from
Letting Go is excellent
On a completely unrelated note. I saw an Eagles reunion concert over on Sky Arts.
At one point they sounded like Pink Floyd !

Just catching up on iPlayer.
Kacey Musgraves is canny. Also rocking her wellies too
PSBs - brilliant
Elbow - really good
Sam Fender - enjoyable
Billie Eilish - no thanks
McCartney - no thanks.
Diana Ross - Sweet Baby Jesus that was tortue
Supergrass - Enjoyed a throwback
Crowded House - very good
Years and Years - Music is canny but Christ I had to turn it off as it was a bit too try hard with the dry humping in the toilets stage set. Thought I had clicked on an adult website by accident
First Aid Kit - Really enjoyed them

I really enjoyed Confidence Man.
I'm off to see St Vincent in Wednesday and now wondering if I'll enjoy it!!!!
Watching McCartney as I type and while his voice isn't what it was, it's pretty decent for an 80 year old and he does have a strong back catalogue!

Your adenoidal neighbour was ignorant and it's a shame he was possibly taking a spot from someone with more taste and appreciation.
Seems to have gone completely unmentioned in either of the Glastonbury threads but I thought the Kendrick Lamar set was superb.
Live hip-hop can be a gamble, and often seems many rappers perform better when confined to a studio with the ability to chop and paste things up in the mixing desk.
Kendrick’s material can be very dense, intricate and lacks audience-pleasing choruses so wasn’t sure how well this would translate to the Glastonbury stage.
Turns out he made Kanye and Jay-Z’s sets look overblown and arrogant - his verses were crystal clear throughout, there was no hype or excess, and the crowd sounded like they sang every word back to him throughout.
Supremely confident without coming across as arrogant or having a massive ego, and using those modern dancers rather than the stereotypical troupe of strip club extras and his extended entourage was just a touch of class.
And literally ending by dropping the mic and walking off was superb.

Maybe his opinion was that the singing wasn't very good, thinking it was good wouldn't make him a better or worse person.
It's true that at 80 the singing isn't as good as it was at 30. I think almost everyone understands that. To not appreciate the moment though, seems like a loss for our adenoidal friend. In front of him, a genuine genius, almost all that remains (sorry Ringo!) of by far the most popular/influential band in popular music history, putting on what might be one last really big show. And doing, on the whole, a sensational job of it.Not appreciating that indeed doesn't make anyone a 'better or worse' person. You just kind of wonder why they'd even bother to be at a musical event.

it certainly doesn't make one person better than another.
