    Oh, was hoping they’d show that! Thanks!

    Foo Fighters 2017 were amazing- especially the way Dave Grohl toys with the audience opening with Times like these as a solo in tribute to Florence Welch before inevitably the whole band comes in.

    Disappointed by the boss, don’t get all this live mumbling into mics that’s seems prevalent. Amazed by 2011 Beyoncé, astounding. Adele mixed views. But want to see Beyoncé live if she’s kept that energy, astounded.

    Possibly the worst songs Springsteen could perform. Dancing in the Dark is dire.

    I was there to watch the Foo Fighters - it was brilliant! As you say, apart from being a great guitarist, Dave Grohl is fantastic as an entertainer. He created a real buzz with the crowd. I managed to get Glastonbury tickets this year which luckily they are rolling over to 2021.

    They do divide opinion but I’m in the ‘like’ camp. They always put on a high energy and colourful show. Music is full of opinions. Lots of posts on this thread about Motorhead who have been banging out unfathomable white noise for decades....IMO.

    Never thought I would agree about a Beyonce performance, but she and her troupe are entertainers, and they do it really well. Mega high energy performance.

    Just shows if you like music you can appreciate everything from the haunting Florence and the machine to poppy Beyoncé

    I watched the Stones at Glastonbury last night. 2013 set- very good. This was coincidental, and the whole set was on YouTube.

    Been lucky enough to get tickets for all but one for the 20 or so years and gutted not to be there this year. Was supposed to be 5 days at Glastonbury followed by a fortnight in Gram Canaria for r&r.
    There has been some excellent stuff broadcast, though I think a few from the smaller stages would have been good.

    At 9.30 tonight they are showing Bowies performance from 2000. First time the full set has been shown I believe. Already set to record in case I forget!!

    Just watching Oasis from 1994. Their a bit raw and Bonehead really should have shaved his hair off by then.

    I loved seeing them so young, fresh and raw. Liam's singing style was already set with his top lip firmly jammed up against the mic and fascinating to see them performing songs that would soon go on to be so well known. Their first two albums are special to me.

    Looking forward to Bowie, it's not his best performance and the band is a bit too tight and lack a bit of live rawness but I haven't seen the footage before so keen to see it.

    I often reminisce about Oasis in the 90’s with my brother. It’s normally starts off with talking about today’s music being so linear and boring. Back then Oasis were new and exciting.
    I’m lucky enough that I’ve seen them a lot from the mid 90’s up to the last time I saw them in 2005 at Man City’s new ground. For me and our kid they were The Beetles and Stones of our time, and being in my 20’s at the time I’m glad I lived through it. Talking to my teenage kids now they just don’t get how big they were.

    My only regret was not going to see them at the Warehouse in Derby on a Wednesday night in 1993. £5 to get in and a crowd of no more than a couple of hundred. My excuse at the time was I couldn’t be arsed, what a dick.

    I’ve got no end of memorabilia from gigs up in the loft. I’ll have dig it all out.

    I watched the 94 Oasis gig earlier and thought it was great. Quite liked the drummer and Noel’s nonchalance. I only ever saw them once and that was on my year abroad as a student in Milan 95. Great gig at a small venue. Good we are able to see some of this Glastonbury stuff.

    Never enjoyed the oasis or blur music, or the support for either. Will be alone on the view but who cares, they were both crap IMHO.

    Never realised how much I’d enjoy watching old repeats though.

    Given some of my neighbours haven’t cut their grass in months, I’m worried how long their bunting will remain out for...

    Books, Film, Music, Art etc. that you’re exposed to in your younger, formative years generally carry greater weight of influence & staying power, in my opinion.

    I saw Oasis first in their very next gig after Knebworth, in Cork. Missed my GCSE results to travel. Support from The Prodigy, not long after ‘Firestarter’ was released. Quite extraordinary.

    I think it’s hard for people not around at the time to understand how big Oasis were in the mid-90’s. Love or loathe them, they had a tremendous cultural currency back then. Rarely out of the papers & the Blur chart battle an item on the 9 o’clock news. Mike Flowers Pops reaching No.2 in the UK charts with his cover of ‘Wonderwall’ a mere two months after the original reached No.2 also. A journalist’s recording of Liam & Noel arguing reaching No.52 in the Charts as ‘Wibbling Rivalry’. And that was in the days when you had to physically leave the house to buy a CD in Woolworths or whatever for a few quid, not just buy on your phone for £0.99, or stream. Unbelievable. Of course, a huge part of that was the much narrower, less fragmented media back then.

    I also thought the Bowie gig was fantastic. Great band.

    Got Bowie for tonight.

    Beyoncé was my big ‘wow’ moment, what a show & loved it all. Confused by all the digital cameras not phones & realised it was all the way back in 2011, which explains a lot.

    One thing I don’t get, and wasn’t like it when I went 24 years ago (unless I’ve forgotten) was all the bloody flag waving going on. What’s the point?

    I still get annoyed with people sitting on shoulders though. Poor buggers behind!

    Good times! It sounds like they hit a note with you as they did with me, they were huge in Australia in the mid-'90s.

    Would be great to see some photos of your memorabilia when you get time. Some of that stuff may surprise you with its value so it's worth treasuring.

    I watched a bit of Ed Sheran last night. One man & a guitar gets rather boring after a couple of songs even with a pedalboard full of tricks. It only perked up when the Irish band trooped on for one song.

    The Legends spot was good. Tony Bennet(?) couldn't believe how the crowd were singing back to him & the crowd loved Tom Jones & Delilah.
