Where?

Interesting that they responded! I don't buy it however. I was playing off laptop. This morning played off TV and phone at various points. Friend played on iPlayer on his Macbook. So sounds like that's the excuse BBC have told GN'R but doesn't really wash with me.

Interesting BBC Music hasn't uploaded any GN'R to their YouTube channel yet. They've been pretty quick in getting highlights up. Wonder is that because they're fixing sound on their own accord, told by GN'R not to put any up.. or told by GN'R to fix sound before it goes up! The possibilities.. I know Axl loves Elton but he doesn't seem to be a huge gig-goer. Seems somewhat unlike him to hang about just to see Elton. Plus he is there extremely early if that's the case. Like no need for him to be on the site hours and hours before. The optimist in me would say he arrived early to run through some stuff with Elton... (Disregard this..) And the extreme optimist in me reckons a repeat of Bohemian Rhapsody (hopefully with an Axl performance for the ages...)

Yeah that's right. To be fair it's probably not a bad thing TV wasn't too high at times. It probably saved a few tough vocal moments. Re-watching it now on TV and don't think last night was a few beers and an exaggeration, really was a great performance!

Not to contradict anyone, but the line some have said about Axl's weaker high end voice being the issue not coming through the mic - it doesn't explain why you can't hear him at the start of It's So Easy. You also can't hear McBob for the intro. And Duff's bass. Clearly his higher vocal isn't as strong and doesn't cut through as easily but seems to me there was an issue with the mic/sound desk as well.

Truly one of the great nights as a fan in recent memory. The nerves added to it. Couple of beers, lots of friends watching who wouldn’t normally watch. The great buzz on here. It wasn’t perfect but it was brilliant despite that. A real rise to the occasion moment. Axl giving everything and Slash other-worldly at times.

I don't listen to every set but have never known Glasto mixers to get the sound so off. Very strange.

Is that an old-style mic stand? Did he have that all show or I have I just noticed it?

The smiles off Axl.. mad to see!

You're seeing a certain energy off Axl that we haven't seen in a while. He knows the scale of the festival and you can really tell he's giving it everything.

Axls mic is shocking. Not his fault but they need to sort it

The set is extremely tailored for Axl's voice. They have def done this deliberately this tour. Loving Axl's energy, he is relishing it

Not a bad thing he was buried in the mix there. Decent performance there and clearly one of the most exposed songs. So far so good

Brilliant start from Axl - hope he can keep it up. He looks very happy

Fkn minutes away! Come on lads and lady

Sorry lol. I have iPlayer but it won't let me stream from iPhone to TV. Can play just not connect it to TV it so may just end up watching on laptop.

Only two-three songs I think

Audio slightly out of sync

20 mins to go!! Is the Twitch link slightly off time for anyone else or just mie? 20 minutes and 5 seconds to go..

Is anyone having trouble with playing the live Glastonbury show on iPlayer app? I'm in the US but have UK set on Nord VPN. The non-live programmes work (so shows VPN is working) but can't get the live ones to work at all. Any help appreciated!

Yeah looks almost certainly to be about new studio recordings

They have either been told to or maybe realised that they shouldn't have put it up themselves given the questions they were getting. Hopefully the former as it means there's something to it!

Excited now. I think for UK and Ireland, the difference in Glastonbury to other UK festivals etc is that this puts Guns back into the mainstream, which they haven't been in the same way for decades. Yes they have toured and are still talked about among music fans but this is vastly, vastly different. The full coverage on the BBC is the main part of this. Everyone from work colleagues, to friends to family will probably see parts of the performance. That's never the case for any other show here. In ways it is exciting, has huge potential, is something many of us have wanted to see for so long. It also brings pressures - we care about the band, we want to see them put in a fine performance and to be well-received. If they aren't it'll make minimal difference in the long run.. but you can be sure whatever happens there will be a lot of noise around it. PS Just stuck on the Arctic Monkeys - I really like them but they just don't have the energy they once had. The set so far hasn't been well arranged unfortunately. That is a problem GN'R face. I would nearly go back to the old WTTJ, ISE, Brownstone, Live and Let Die type intro for a show like this. Have it on the TV and hard to believe we will see Guns in this quality in just a few hours. Fingers crossed for a great performance from rock's last great hope!

100%. Fingers crossed.

For BBC iPlayer you basically just need an account (don't think they ask for anything except basic details which you can fake) and a VPN that puts you to the UK. Should be very easy to do. Are there any photos of Slash and Duff at the side of the stage for the Foos?
