Am I Missing The Good Stuff At Glastonbury?

Am I just getting old ( . . . er, no, don't bother answering that . . ) or is Glastonbury rather boring so far this year?

Apart from an excellent set from the wonderful Ata Kak and a decent, if somewhat predictable, performance from The Jacksons, I've found little that's been worth turning my telly on for.

Have I missed anything worthwhile?

Over hyped.

I think Balders found something to his taste last night, but I haven't, like Smow, seen it.
Have only heard the critique of Radiohead and Kris Kristofferson.

Must be your age Chris, lots of good bits under the Red Button.

It's always been form over function.

Not always Rob. In the 70s it was a place to go and hear 'underground' music. Music that wasn't mainstream. Which meant you were with likeminded souls for a few days. Now it's just a live overcommercialised money making behemoth with no real integrity. Jeez, I sound like an old hippy.

I'm using the red button, Baldric, and I still can't find anything good.

For real energy on a festival stage I'd rather watch this. Norwegian superstars Marcus and Martinus were only 13 years old at the time but they could teach some of the Glasto performers a thing or two!

Z-M:
As a lover of 'world music', I'm always open to anything which isn't 'mainstream'. (That's probably why the Ghanaian rapper, Ata Kak, is my choice for the best performer so far at this year's Glasto).

What worries me is that most of what's made its way onto telly from Glasto so far has been both 'mainstream' and 'second rate'.

Except, of course, that Glastonbury Festivals Ltd is a non-profit organisation. (All profits from the festival are either ploughed back into future events or donated to charity).
