the show starts about 30 mins in on the iplayer. it's pretty good - and the entrance is hilarious . and he destroyed the noel gallagher line of thinking by virtue of just putting on a really great show.

yes, might be stoned, but almost certain, correct (last night) lets see anyone do this evening...

Oh I've no doubt you're correct, g. You're preaching to the converted anyway as I'm quite a big Jay Z fan anyway (only his good stuff, natch).

When I watch last night's concert, to enrich my viewing experience, I intend to try to read your comments as they happened during the gig.

Just seen the Winehouse 'punch' footage. Looked more like an elbow to me.

nah, Guy Garvey was already laughing before she swung.

If I were a Daily Mail reader, I would be outraged:

J-Zee ruined that song of our time 'Hard Knock Life'... and I will be writing to my local Henley BNP member to prove it.

FUCKING NEIL DIAMOND.... is this the best that the build up is?

(Although my 65 year old wifie is going apeshit.... I may be on a threat later)

PLEASE, PLEASE non specific deity, dont let this old fuckwit be this years 'Johnny Cash'

bollocks... and I blame you lot... I have just danced (literally) around the room, because its not often I get to see the other person in my life as happy as this. Thank you, you grizzled old git (Neil)

oh, and Mr Glastonbury, if you are going to take the piss, get Dolly Parton there next year. I guarantee you a sellout...

who is this guy? he is very good... oh he looks a little silly.

I like him... Bedders on the piano... who is he?

is he singing about Wolves?

Will Young is singing live on BBC... why not on the main stage? Live a little, Will... play dodge the bottle full of piss.

oh, and can 'the gays' have our fucking rainbow flag back, thanks?

(Note to Mr Diamond - stick to your own stuff... leave the Monkees out of it)

According to the GLC who is on site. Someone pelted Jay-Z's exiting bus with bananas to much cheering.

Seems like it's more of a 'festivals-really-attract-wankers-these-days' kind of thing.

Gerontophile's deranged commentary makes me want to watch Jay Z now. Can someone explain how I can watch it via the internet as I don't have a TV.

Go to bbc.co.uk, at the bottom of the page there's a direct link to him on I-player

I came back this afternoon. Nice to do one where the site wasn't a swamp all weekend, although I have a bright red nose and sunburnt arms for my troubles.

The Proclaimers were my highlight, which might say something for the strength of the lineup. Also saw franz ferdinand playing a not so "secret" gig on the park stage

The crowd seemed to be to be a bit different this year, a bit younger (which was eavis's aim i think). Even more white middle class than usual if that's possible. The organisation looked a bit sharper too, although that might have been down to the decent weather.

Gerontophile owns this thread, and I want him to come back and take us through tonight's bill and that of every other televised festival this summer.

Mark Ronson's basically Jools Holland, isn't he?
