Looking forward to Arcade Fire, tonight I think. Entre la nuit, la nuit et l'aurore, Entre le royaume des vivants and des morts. (Between the night and dawn, between the kingdom of the living and the dead).

Stones and Metallica? I'd be in heaven if I were there, but being an off-duty supply teacher with a passport that needs renewing this month, it's unlikely!

Just heard an interview with Arcade Fire on Radio 4. I would not fancy going on stage without a sound check!

Never been, each year I kinda wonder if I should, it sounds like fun, I'm just not massively into camping shoulder to shoulder as I've heard it is. A friend of mine who is an experienced Glasto goer has also stopped cos he finds the other people annoying!

It will be interesting to see what the 'tallica boys do. I'll be seeing them in Warsaw in July among their brethren, i.e. metal fans. (Anthrax and Alice in Chains are on the same bill, a bill that makes it miles better than Glastonbury.)
A lot of Metallica fans hope that they start the concert with their cover of "So what" (link not work-safe) ![[Devil]](graemlins/devil.gif)
In any case, last night I saw Soundgarden, and last Tuesday I saw Iron Maiden and Slayer. I'm in music heaven.

Amazing sunset last night when Elbow were playing, the cameraman kept going back to it, it looked like a sort of Hollywood Biblical epic, with a crimson sky, and the sun getting lower, and then thousands of people standing in the fields, and in the distance the tor. They should print it off, it would be a great picture to have.
Seen a few bands up to now, very enjoyable, Rudimental, very good, Lily Allen, cute, Blondie, fab, Paolo Nutini, not my cup of tea, Haim, ditto, Elbow, very nice. Recorded Arcade Fire, so looking forward to seeing that, and then Metallica and Dolly! Only Glasto could have those two on the same day.

He still has it!
Jack White rocked too, interesting instruments in his band including a theremin.

Where can I get a Metallica beach ball? (For those who didn't see them, that is not a typo.)
How do you follow an act like Metallica? With the English National Ballet, and Dolly Parton later. Glastonbury is unique in the diversity of its acts.

Dolly Parton was amazing.
Brian Ferry was impressive on Saturday too.

I cannot understand the allegations of miming levelled at Ms Parton. Twitter was full of them.
People are so used to associating perfect pitching of noted to being studio produced that hen they hear a perfect performance they refuse to believe it is live.
Good as it was, Dolly's voice did start to crack towards the end of the set, and at the end of that set, who can blame her.
A note to performers, it is possible to sing in tune for (almost) a whole performance. Well done Dolly.

She did well for a nigh-on septuagenarian. I'm sure she's had work done as they say - but cosmetic surgery won't give you the energy to do a set like that.

They are used to second rate, they don't know talent when they hear it.

Its no secret she's had 'work' - as she said, if you can look better, why not.
A good article on Ms Parton in today's Sunday Times.

I watched a bit of Dolly on the TV. I wasn't particularly impressed, but then, she wasn't performing for the cameras. A live set is very different when you are there, if the artist is performing for the crowd, as she was.
I am sure that if you were there, is was lots of fun, and really enjoyable.
