Thoroughly enjoying this on BBC4.

One question; why is the drummer behind a 6′ tall Perspex screen??

It’s not bad at all.

The screen is used to shield the drums from the other instruments and musicians on the stage. Makes life easier for the audio techs.

Aaaaah now I get it 8)

Thx

Absolutely brilliant content from the BBC. On Demand everything. Well impressed.

Quite right there’s more staff there than in Brazil. Even if they should be presenting childrens tv instead.

Its actually to stop the saliva covering the front row.

Gemma Cairney is doing my head in. Where’s that death thread…

I thought maybe people hated him and were expected to throw stuff at him 😛

Wow – Blondie covering the Beastie Boys 8)

Is Clem Burke the drummer still, one of the best there has ever been.

Crikey … Blondie still rocking at 69 yr old. 😯

Same age as my aunt who passed away two days ago …

Yeah he’s there.

Whilst I’m enjoying this, it did strike me as odd that there are kids in that audience who’ve paid rather a lot of money to watch a musician possibly older than their grandparents! I was around 12 when Blondie were at their height, strange but gratifying to know they can still do it.

Clem Burke is definitely one of the greats.

Do we have a Lily Allen specific thread yet?

No. Please start one. Is she talented?

😈

Why are so many school age kids errr not in school?

Not feeling the love.
Just heard some of it on 6music and she sounded a tired old voice,bridging with spoken word when she couldn’t reach notes.
Shame,let it go Debbie.

She was sh1te 23 years ago at Summer XS – has she improved then?

Enjoying Rudimental on interactive at the mo. 🙂

2nd face lift is an improvement on the last.

Good to see them out, but she was struggling a bit

I like Blondie but that was a very long time ago.

😀

One question; why is the drummer behind a 6′ tall Perspex screen??

‘cos he’s so noisy, I’m sure I remember them complaining once about him

and tbh we switched it on half way through ‘Call Me’, and couldn’t work out which song it was…, I know they need the money, but that doesn’t mean folk should employ them

I understand the perspex shields are to protect DH’s ears* from the top end of Clem’s cymbals.

Clem is a great drummer, openly influenced by Keith Moon. And one of my influences too.

* as I understand it she has terrible tinnitus

And utterly stunning back in the day. Those cheekbones! 😯

I like Blondie but that was like watching a drunk old slapper butchering their entire back catalogue at a karaoke night.

Stunning in her day.

Is this the official glasto thread?

If so can l just say….

Rather enjoying Rudimental… on the red button

I like big bands…. they seem more fun?

RoseY, I just tried to start one…just kinda thought that “blondie…” In the title might put some people off.

Is Elisha Cuthbert related to Blondie in some way?

Loving arcade fire but bloody hell I’ve not seen a band with more people in it since kool and the gang!

Oh and Ricky Wilson what a front man! The kaiser chiefs were brilliant

Just watching the Blondie set now. Excellent. Ok they’re not jumping around the stage like they might have done 30 or 40 years ago but I’d rather watch these pensioners than the Stones or Paul McCartney

I watched the Blondie set earlier, and once Debbie’s voice warmed up she was getting notes the same as forty years ago.
I’d truly like to hear those on here whining about her actually sing, so I can criticise their efforts.
And yes, I saw Blondie in 1977, as a support, so I know what her voice actually sounded like back then, and it hasn’t changed that much, just a bit deeper.

And utterly stunning back in the day. Those cheekbones!

As mosey says, that’s a photo of Elisha Cuthbert.

From 1977

She’s blonde is she not!? 🙂

Google image fail.

My weekend is now ruined and it’s only Saturday morning.

Saw her at Camp Bestival a couple of years ago. Very entertaining and I was impressed that she didnt come across as a prima dona. Didnt seem to take herself too seriously.
Maybe you have to be there rather than watching it on your computer.

Agh apparently Elisha is playing Debbie Harry in an upcoming movie hence the google image.
