    ‘Lefties annual gathering’, ffs can we leave politics out of things for five minutes. There’s enough threads about that as it is.

    Nice of these people to fly all the way over the Atlantic to just do two songs.

    I thought Glastonbury was all about Greta and saving the planet? ;-)

    Sorry Richard – but you have to see what a lot of hypocrisy that is?

    Absolutely, hence why I’ll be watching back the bits of this that I missed rather than Greta’s lectures.

    That’s two hours 10 minutes now and Hey Jude goes on forever, brilliant.

    Yes, fair enough HDLG. The hypocrisy is comical rather than annoying.

    Any competent session musician could have done what Grohl and Springsteen did.

    I walked down Penny Lane on Friday and there must have been about three coaches parked at the end, with queues of tourists waiting to have their photos taken by the street sign. I have never seen so many before.

    I like the fact that it still just looks like any ordinary road while at the same time being one of the most famous streets in the world.

    St Vincent’s set yesterday was sublime, worth checking out on iPlayer.

    “Turned it over when he sang 4 songs on the trot never heard of.”

    I think there were a few too many songs from his solo albums, whereas he only scratched the surface of the Beatles catalogue.

    His voice is not great nowadays but I suppose that is only to be expected for an 80 year old man.

    High: “Something”. Great song and a beautiful tribute to his friend.

    Low: “Ob La Di, Ob La Da”. Sorry, I cannot stand it!

    Glastonbury is the ultimate evolution of a race meeting – eventually they don’t bother having any racing at all.

    Glastonbury generated zero betting turnover, consequently contributed zero to the Levy but didn’t need Jermaine Jenas to promote it so saved a bit there.

    JockeyClubRacecourses are therefore claiming the event a success and a net win.

    Some good uns in there including Junior’s Farm (presumably referencing where they were playing), Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five (final song from the brilliant BOTR album), a good chunk of the Abbey Road 2nd side and of course Maybe I’m Amazed (possibly referencing himself doing this at 80).
