I'm guessing they can only afford or have time to set up all the complicated cameras & sound equipment for certain stages.
you may be right, but i think its more a case of bbc programming taste
Yeah, we just said 'jesus, he looks a right old fucker', then glanced at each other
I ain't laughing at the folks suffering in the mud, as I'm likely to be wallowing in it myself at beatherder next week.
I don't relly understand the preoccupation with some in this thread for the main stage - 70%+ of the people at Glastonbury were elsewhere on the site when U2 played.
i was mildly peeved that they showed jimmy cliff. again.
according to the radio THE EDGE doesn't have any effects pedals on stage anymore, and has a lackey who knows all the parts so wel that he presses them for him in the wings. U2 inspire zero emotions in me either positively or negatively, as does that story, but i guess if you love or hate them it probably reinforces your opinion of them.
Of course its a disaster if the pedal-presser fucks up:
jimmy cliff is fine by me - its just the dominance of guitar based bands and pop music that usually makes me switch off all tv festival coverage...

That last pic (above) makes me miss Glasto.Had one of the best nights of my life last night. Dancing in the rain with a beautiful French girl, laughing like kids, lasers making patterns in the raindrops. No chemicals taken or needed. Must have been 5000 round the Arcadia rig. Immense.
