Although the drumming during GPASUYF sounded like Streets climatic drumming.

Start watching at 1:30.

 

Now watch this around 4:40.

if that was the intentional U2 tribute in return, then it's not the most immediately obvious one... :dozey:

:uhoh: Wow. That's uh.... wow.

I didnt think much of U2 playing a bit of yellow. They do 4 or 5 snipets of other artist's songs during a typical concert. Obviously, it was a slight tribute to their co-Glastonbury headliners, Coldplay, however, I really wasn't excited by it.

Of the 3 headliners, U2 got te less exciting reviews or comments

Been invited to a party where everyone has to dress up as musicians... Bono?

 

Lady Gaga?:rolleyes:

Is this based on twitter? I don't think you can really judge that soon after the festival ends and stuff still isn't written.

Was Bono voted "pompous ass of the weekend"?:P

He didn't half go on about all that Avalon stuff. The BBC presenters had to virtually cut him off!:lol:

Reviews,twitter,etc

 

"U2 were good on Friday, Coldplay brilliant on Saturday and the Houston diva made her on piece of Glastonbury history on Sunday. "

 

The sun for example

Then that makes it official, of course!:P

I haven't watched Coldplay yet, but I've seen most of U2's set and I thought they were very good. However, my one complaint about U2 is they didn't do anything over the top like I thought they would. Aside from playing Bad and Out of Control, it was basically a group of songs that you'd catch at any of their recent shows.

Lady Gaga?:rolleyes:

 

That's what I thought at first but my mate's already going as her :/

Well that's a relief! I was only joking, of course!:P

What about Tokio Hotel's androgynous lead singer?:rolleyes:

I'm tempted to go as David Bowie actually if my search for The Fly shades ends in vain :p

It'd be tough on U2 to judge they were the least impressive of the headliners. After a long festival with so so many great acts it's easy to forget the first performers of the festival on that first day which seems an age away now. I mean people have barely mentioned the fact that two iconic and well loved acts performed on Friday in the form of Morrissey and Radiohead as well. If U2 were on the Saturday or Sunday they'd probably be praised much more than they are.

 

For me U2 were every bit as good as I thought they'd be. But Coldplay blew everyone out of the water on Saturday night which I wasn't expecting as I really thought U2 would be the act we'd be talking about for years to come but their set was more than good enough to warrant that as well. I really felt it was as good as some of the great headlining performances of previous years like Springsteen, Blur and Paul McCartney. It's just that the next night Coldplay put on a show that can also be considered just that. They did benefit in playing on the Saturday and also the fact that in terms of festival bands they don't come much more experienced than Chris Martin and co. Coldplay weren't inch perfect like U2 (Us Against The World?) but somehow they made the mistake seem special in the sense that they really gave off a human, modest element which was took to everyone's heart. Perhaps U2 were too "subhuman" or out of this world for Glastonbury? Too big for Glastonbury? On Friday it seemed more the case of U2 presents Glastonbury than Glastonbury presents U2. On Saturday it certainly was Glastonbury presents Coldplay. I don't know. The reason why they are probably the greatest live act on the planet is also probably the reason they didn't amaze Glastonbury in the way Coldplay did?

 

 

p.s - may I also add that U2 had the headlining set with absolutely no gimmicks or special effects which Coldplay and Beyonce did. People often think as U2 as something of a gimmicks band using extravaganza props as their reason for being such a great band live. They proved on Friday night that that is totally not the reason. Their music is.

Beyonce was one massive gimmick! I fast forwarded over most of her performance. Massive anticlimax after Coldplay.:dozey:
