Whoa.....indeed!
Sadly, the live BBC TV broadcast only showed the second half of the set, from Miss You onwards. I am sure there will be DVD of the whole set, which was probably the reason for only showing us half the show.

It's Only Rock and Roll
Paint It Black
Gimme Shelter
Factory Girl
Wild Horses
Doom and Gloom

I enjoyed that more than when I last saw them 18 years ago.
Anyway, if only this Eavis could arrange this...

I'm happy with the half show they let us see for free and will probably pick up the DVD if its available here. I saw them outside in Shea stadium about 15 years ago and I swear the band is tighter and Jagger has more energy -although that was probably the superior editing. He took little breaks during the show I saw and would go off stage. I was next to the monitors, which were in a tent-like enclosure - but it didn't register as to what they were at the time. The outdoors gives them the opportunity to set up those spectacular large displays and shoot off fireworks. Amazing crowd and response of all ages. Thanks for posting.

I have seen the Stones a few times since the late sixties and this show was definitely up there. They are playing Hyde Park in London next week, I must know someone that can get me a pass.

Wow! If you go - I hope you'll let the forum know. I was about 15 feet from the runway in Shea that Jagger danced down for the audience there, but the close contact with him in breakout from band mode wasn't as exciting as watching them together. And on the big monitors, they had a very exotic appearance, I think you might have considered crossing the street if you ran into any of them and didn't know who they were. IMHO together they are a force of nature practically - and I am thrilled that they haven't rewritten tamer versions due to their age - they are at the height of their powers.

It was a great set, the crowd was completely rammed. I was very impressed with the whole thing, the playing was all perfect and Jagger was flying around the stage the whole time. Did they broadcast the songs with Keith singing and Ronnie playing slide guitar/lap steel? Ronnie Woods seems to be a middle finger slide player, which struck me as unusual but obviously works for him!

We didn't see Keith singing and Ronnie playing lap steel. I guess that was 'Happy'?
It sounds like you had a great weekend!

Yeah, that was it, 'You got the Silver' with Ronnie on acoustic slide guitar then 'Happy' with Ronnie playing lap steel.
I saw a few smaller acts that people might be interested in, I'll post a summary later/
Cheers,
Matt

The first pic I saw (back in the late 70s with the Faces) of anyone playing slide was Ronnie Wood. I assumed thats how all slide players played, so that's what I did and still do. Any other way seems much more difficult to me!

I was lucky enough to get tickets for Glastonbury and I got camped in the front several hours in advance to get close. I have not seen the Stones before and was desperate to see them, but was not sure what to expect being "not in their prime" - In short they were absolutely fantastic, I was really impressed my Mick's energy and they clearly were having a ball. The set really got off to a flyer with all those greatest hits. I did not think the TV broadcast conveyed the energy and atmosphere particularly well though, this may explain some of the negativity in the press (Daily Mail as usual!) and on social media that I've read about afterward. Memories for life  |

The TV broadcast never really works that well with Glastonbury stuff, I remember watching the BB King set on iplayer and it just wasn't what I heard when I was there. I think the Daily Wail will always find something to be negative about anyway!
