I've been looking at some other Glasto stuff on the BBC:
Neil Young - An 11 minute version of "Rocking In The Free World", with many a false ending - Crazy Horse providing ample back-up for Young's impassioned reading of this standard. Slight caveat - is it just me, or does the Young one have just one guitar solo mode?
Lady Gaga - Costume changes ahoy (inc. wearing some alarming bubble dress), and camp dancers in the house. Had a bit of a mentalist moment on "Poker Face", where she started playing it solo on the old joanna, and was doing increasingly odd contortions. A pop-lite noughties Madonna?
Little Boots - more electro-pop fare, this time from these shores. Ms Boots seemed jolly enough (dedicating a song to her mum), and the tunes weren't wildly offensive, but to be honest I found her set pretty underwhelming.
N.E.R.D. - Pharrell and, er, the other one rocking the house with their rock-rap choonage. They played all the hits, and got the crowd making some melon-farming noise.
The Ting Tings - Pure effortless Win from Katie and Jules - totally upbeat and energetic, with choons aplenty and mucho energy.
