delboy Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 its that time of year again, was watching BBC 2's coverage (my damn freeview box won't work here!). i thought the white stripes were really dull but enjoyed most of the coverage esp the killers, bloc party and elvis costello. and a nice little peel tribute an all, i think the terrestial coverage was better than recent years.fuckity shite, its coldplay headlining tonight so i expect 2 of the 3 hours to be dedicated to the dullest band on the planet.....

tranzmute Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 watches online webcast of bloc part. it was good-ie not rubbiss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 I thought the White Stripes were the Dog's Bollocks... Didn't think much of Bloc Party, but i didn't rate them when i saw them either. Elvis Costello was good too.Thank fuck Orbital has split up so i don't have to endure 15 fucking minutes of watching the Hartnoll brothers twiddling buttons with those torches on their heads.

NARC Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Bloc Party were shoddy and played too fast. Although in their favour, they are new to the big stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranzmute Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Yes the orbital silliness is finally over. although i want to a phil hartnoll dj set at kef and it was good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing it live is probably great, but not watching it on tv. I heard Jo Whiley saying that fatboy slim was coming on and immediatly switched channels.

Payback the chicken Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 I don't know which presenter is worse, Colin Murray for glastonbury or the camp bald bloke they have for the titp highlights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Last night Lauren Laverne was like "And here's Bloc Party, with Helicopter - I love these guys!". It was not Helicopter. Even the caption said it was. At the end Laverne was like "Wow, Helicopter is great when they play it live!". It just wasn't Helicopter, Laverne clearly speaks from her arse. But she has that accent I love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lizard King Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 really enjoyed the shambles. lets hope they do that acoustic set and it gets shown. I have to agree BBC3 coverage is very annoying. i was expecting to see most of the whitestripes set after coverage had finished on bbc2. I do like the feature where you can choose who u want to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 I've seen bits and pieces, but i've taped a lot of it so i can watch it later, the white stripes were awesome, the stage lloked amazing. Brian Wilson was just fucking fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 brian wilson owned glastonbury.although primal scream were mighty as well.was it not just that coldplay were actually playing while bbc2 was going out so they showed it all on that. new order's whole set was shown on bbc3 earlier. there was only a couple of breaks in it for 60 second news and some catch ups with colin and edith, other than that i'm pretty sure you got the whole set.

delboy Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 as i said before i cant get a freeview reception where i live so BBC3 putting out the whole of new order's set was about as useful as a coldplay album to me (i.e. not very).brian wilson was plain embarrasing as well, he's so overated, looked totally bewildered (nothing new there mind). good to see billy bragg doing an acoustic tune mind.

framheim Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 what!!! brian wilson was awesome! he looked geniuinely happy at times and seemed to love playing to such a MASSIVE crowd. the sun was out and he played a greatest hits set of beach boy and brian wilson classics, what's better than that? nothing that's what. it's not the bbc's fault you can't get a freeview reception del, new order weren't playing when bbc2 were putting out their coverage but coldplay were so they went live to coldplay. complaining about not getting a whole set from a band that played earlier in the day is about as useful as seeing a whole set from jools hollands rinky dink orchestra recorded first thing that day while the headlining biggest band in the world is playing on the main stage right at that second!i should point out i'm in no way saying that coldplay have more merit than new order(and obviously not comparing new order to jools fucking holland but that's just to emphasize a point), just that your argument is based solely on your desire to see new order and not on any logic regarding the scheduling of bbc2's show for the great mass of their viewers.

If he is miming these days at least it'll be an improvement on his disaterous DJ sets of old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray@ladymercedes Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Was surprised to see Razorlight using the legendary piece of equipment that is "The Mellotron". Not my cup of tea, but I thought they were alright.Was delighted to see Ian Brown belt out some of the Roses' classics. I thought he sang most of them not bad, but then his solo stuff he sounded bollocks. Still it was good to see Aberdeens' very own Fools Gold play with him. For a moment, I actually thought I was listenening to the Roses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.Pel Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Watching it makes me wish i was there. And come on, the brain wilson even playing was ledgendery enough. Playing the most fucking classic songs with however many thousands of people singing along (and crowd surfers on boards!) was simply fantastic.
