Bono uses a text monitor.
See screenshot from their Glastonbury gig (which was great).

Back from Glasto...it was my 11th and .,.the worst. The mud was horrendous, I had all my weed confiscated on entry and didn't see any bands that blew me away. Even U2 seemed to fizzle out - who finishes a set on a slow song ffs. Radiohead played a poor set and it took so long to get around in the mud that most of the time you went which ever way was easier. Oh well, Stones for Glasto 2013 !

From what I viewed on the BBC, Coldplay and U2 were boring - as predicted - the bootylicious Beyonce was superb. What a woman! Morrissey was decent, B.B. King is a legend from a bygone age and the rest didn't interest me one iota.

....all my weed confiscated on entry....
Would mind elaborating on how that happened? Were they doing (TSA style) intrusive body searches? or was it not well hidden? what happened? what was it like/ what happened in the past?.... maybe sharing this info can help a future concert goers avoid....

Did you see Queens of the Stone Age?
Seems like they made a good performance (as always).

They got my weed as we entered the festival at 3.00am...they did a quick dip onto one of the bags and found a small kitchen knife which my wife had packed to cut limes with! The jobsworth steward then said he would have to search everything as they had found a knife. Eventually, he found the weed and called the drug squad guy in who asked me if it was mine..to which i answered yes and he threw it in the bin and said he wasn't bothered about 'a bit of weed'!
It was the stewards who were trying to get me busted, load of @#$%&. They missed the mescaline - it was hid inside my shoe..(it really was)

It works...as in the unliklihood they go as far as a complete strip down search - which stewards aint allowed to do anyway, they have to get the police and take you to a private room or porta cabin. All in all ridiculous...90% of the people who go to Glastonbury go to take some kind of drug or other, Meanwhile they are happy to allow thousands of 16 -25 year olds to wheel station carts loaded with cider which ends in far worse behaviour and is more life threatening than hash, lsd, speed etc etc. The drug laws in the Uk are backward and drastically need reforming.

And I hid the mesc inside my shoe! Sounds like a great line for a song.

Ten years ago they'd have pulled it off, but I really hope they never play there now. They'll get slaughtered.

I still reckon they would nail it Gazza. Thing about Glastonbury is that, as U2 found out this year, it isn't your own fans, it's a massive cross section of ages and tastes. MacCartney, Stevie Wonder and Springsteen all played what the fans want to hear and went down a storm. U2 tried to finish on a lesser known song as an encore and it killed the set. The Stones would no doubt finish with a string of war horses which many people would never have heard live but know the songs so well and it would go down as a classic Glasto moment. Trust me Gazza!

I agree with everything you're saying (and from the comfort of my living room, I actually enjoyed U2's choice of show closer)- just not overly convinced that such a lengthy gap from touring augurs well performance-wise for an event thats so high profile and where everything about it gets analysed to death.
They did well at the Isle of Wight and the reviews from 'non-Stones' sources were generally positive, but by the time the next Glastonbury comes round in 2013, that gig will have been six long years in the past.

Good point re length of time. But I still think they would do well, Jagger is not only a bloody good crowd worker he is also a shrewd business man and wouldn't risk a flop. Either way if they play it, I'll turn up again.
You are the first person I've heard say the U2 set closer was good! People in the crowd near us were saying what the @#$%& is this. Having said that we'd been stood in the pouring rain for 3-4 hoours and it was bloody cold!

I can understand the crowd thinking it was a buzz killer for sure. Theyve been known to end shows on a quiet note like that before over the years. Its a bit of an unusual trait.
