Glastonbury 2009

Enjoyed it but the overall coverage was disappointing. Too much inane chatter amongst the presenters who were clearly more interested in trying to carve a TV career for themselves.

What do you expect? BBC have only sent 407 staff to cover it.

Yes but Lauren Laverne was one of them.

Watched the blur set live on BBC2 last night. Good to hear them mixing it up with hits from their whole discography - right up to Think Tank. Albarn's voice sounded a bit tired though. Maybe he'd been partying a bit too hard?

BBC's coverage is pretty limited in my opinion. Lots of repeated stuff on interactive; surely there must be masses more they could put up there?!

Thought that Glastonbary was for young folk??

Though I will be there ~(50) in a tee pee next year.

Gotta say, from what I saw (All I been watching all weekend) I was kinda underwhelmed by it all.

Would have been a blast to be there, and no denying there were some great bands but it was all a bit, blah. Aging rockers, safe acts etc. Bruce was good - not great, not many things that really blew me away. The best bits looked like Blur and the prodigy and they're both products of the 90's (And both great btw), which was kinda young compared to a lurge chunk of the televised stuff.

Might be a reflection on the last year musically, which I reckon has been extremely flat - not many great bands appeared on the scene imo and a load of clones (Anyone else getting sick of solo female singers already, plus 80's synth pop guff)?

Weather looked great though ...

Should there be a Glastonbury for young people too?
