Finally managed to get 3G working while trying to check the weather.

Really can't believe how bad Kanye was. Seemed like half the crowd had left by the end, we were standing by the Greenpeace stand with a good view of the stage and there was so much space. It was only my fourth Glastonbury headliner but I've never seen the Pyramid that empty.

He might as well have just walked on stage, plugged in an iPod and pressed play for all the notice he paid to the audience. 'greatest loving rock star on the planet', fuck off mate.

Mad props to the guy with the Kim K sex tape pic flag.

Pharrel Williams was good though.

And people who didn't see Kate Tempest yesterday, go see her at Wow today. It was nice to watch a rapper who actually acknowledged that the audience were there. Plus she's awesome.

I don't know if I mentioned it earlier, but George Clinton was killing it while Kanye was on. :)

I watched Kate Tempest on the website yesterday, she's great.

C. BBC had some lovely birds eye shots - looked about half full at best. Even Jo Whiley said it was a bit "hit and miss". Damning.

This is how I have been feeling about Glastonbury every year since the nineties. Hope you lucky Brits get to enjoy it!

Catching up on some other bands sets as I'm waiting for the Who, on Friday Wolf Alice killed it. Their new album is awesome too, I think it just missed out on number 1 in the charts after Florence who got the bump after her headline set. Also Catfish & The Bottlemen were awesome too, looking forward to seeing them next month.

Yeah I've seen some photos on twitter, those holograms look insane. Just started watching The Who there, beginning a set with 'Who Are You' is always a good thing!
 
I'd love to see them someday.

I've seen them live three or four times now, unfortunately never at glasto. They are one of the few bands that will just blow you away every single time. Slick set, amazing lighting, great tunes, genuine love from the crowd, no aggro. Highly recommend seeing them.

The only other band that immediately springs to mind that consistently deliver the same level of face melting awesomeness are the flaming lips.

The tabloids really love kicking Pete down. I'm sure he's used to it at this stage but it's just scummy at the time of it. Wouldn't mind but the guy just completed rehab and is clean for the first time in about 12 years, had an awesome set at Glasto on Friday and are headlining festivals across Europe for the next few months. One big live performance that put him back in the spotlight for the first time in a good few years and bam, the next Sunday they're back being predators slating him.

Was happy for him when I saw he'd put some weight on. Means he's off of the heroin at least. The tabloids can piss off, they use him as clickbait only, their 'opinion' is irrelevant.

The Who still put on a great show. Seen them a bunch of times recently. Still very tight with Roger's voice being dodgy at times.

Pete still kicks ass on guitar though.

Yeah and I love how he added "You're like a Tabloid journalist, how you can cut and paste and twist" on 'Tell The King' during their set.

I'll really need to check them out live soon.

I'm currently catching up with a lot of what I missed right now.
