Would have been on this weekend and one of my favourite weekends of the year.

But given what’s going on it’s a great opp to see some gigs ive missed over the years.

iPlayer has lots of old gigs on demand too. Anyone got any highlights?

I watched the 90’s show last night and never realised Johnny Cash played there. Currently watching the XX gig one of my favourites along with Jamie XX 2 years previously
 
The missus put in the request for Amy Winehouse, a good gig so far, but you can definitely tell the demons had started to take hold.
 
Watched a few last night; REM, Radiohead, Pulp. Tame Impala from a few years back as well.
Are they putting new ones up on the iPlayer each day?

As far as I’m aware they’ve released them all at once but have the live channel on too. Going to watch some of the decades programs tonight I think
 
Nice to watch some great performers the last couple of nights on BBC 2 & 4, but disappointed when Bob Dylan not on on Friday.

was it her second appearance? i saw both of Amy’s gigs at Glasto. Her first appearance was brilliant but the second one was very sad to watch.

Yeah it was the second one (I think) in 2007/08 You could tell she wasn’t in a great place and looks a far cry from the clip I saw of her from an earlier Glasto gig
 
Richard Hawley’s set was infinitely preferable to the second half of the Italy match last night. 👍
 
Yeah I'm not sure Dylan was filmed in 98? I know he's funny about that sometimes and I don't recall ever seeing any footage of that gig.

Would have been nice to see more than one song of Johnny Cash too.

It's not easy finding video clips of him. There's more of him at the Isle of Wight 1969 than 1998. First time I saw him at the first 'big' UK festival.

Isle of Wight 1969

thought damon albarns 'low' was very very nice. must admit I had no idea who it was for a while, not seen of him for a few years! aging is a scary thing. as is his haircut.

I can confirm the cameras were inactive for Dylan’s set on Pyramid on the Sunday afternoon. At his insistence. The side screens were also blacked out as well and no photographer was allowed in the front pit although there are a few photos knocking about of him on stage at Glastonbury.
 
Well I'm going to admit it, had a few afternoon beers and wanted relive a good old Sunday legends slot.

This morning I have a bad head and Especially for You stuck in it😁
 
Watched the Coldplay live at worthy farm set last night on iplayer… one group that really do put on a fantastic show

This was also the case for the first song or so of Leonard Cohen when I saw him there.

There's also Nick Cave a few years back where photographers were allowed for the first before he ushered them away and Jack White who has the same policy and usually, as a result, plays with his back to the audience for the first number :) (at least when not singing).
