And watch someone they detest for 2 hours [emoji38]ol: Living the dream.

When the BBC are showing so much other Glastonbury simultaneously, live and catch up.
If it was a national sport . . .

I think McCartney was pretty good. I love how the English have to stick the knife in because it's not their cup of tea.

I don’t think it’s sticking the knife in. But for me, festivals work best when they are a shared experience between artist and audience - which means playing and celebrating all the stuff people like and know, even if the artist would rather showcase their new stuff.

Even watching at home I can sense how when he plays the stuff people are willing him to, the whole place joins together and you create something unique and unforgettable. When he plays the new stuff, the end of the song is greeted with a muted ripple that sounds like Cambridge United subs coming out for their pre-match warm up.

I get the crowd pleasing thing you mention. However most of the stuff he played wasn't all that recent. When a career stretches on so long, 'recent' in people's minds is an album from the 90's. And yes, I'd also prefer more Beatles stuff.

Stick to the comedy. There are generation who haven't been blessed with our good fortune of living with the Beatles. For them this is a novelty.

I'm listening to it and quite enjoying it.

Apart from the ukulele version of something.

Have you lot not got anything else to watch?


Edit . . . something just improved.

Haha, I was disappointed at the ukulele playing Something as it's a really beautiful song. And then he ditched it and the song was great!

What would you have advised him to sing? With your 60 years of experience ?

Don’t be silly. I’m just thinking if you’re playing a crowd that aren’t specifically there to see you, you might play stuff that most people know. Especially if that stuff is much better than the stuff you’re doing now.

There is also the unwritten agreement that audiences will sit through the 'new stuff' if the artists finishes their set with the classics.

Both are suitably indulged and everyone is happy.

Yes. I get that, too. It’s a difficult and fine tightrope to tread.

Well I think Paul McCartney appears to have done a pretty decent job.

I reckon the crowd mostly had a lovely time.m
