Was the broadcast great? Did they pass the test from the BBC point of view? Can we be proud of our band?

Also I noticed right now there are something like 10 different Glastonbury threads on the first page of the IORR forum. Please give me the headline before I dive into the 10 threads and the 837 posts. Was the broadcast great? Did they pass the test from the BBC point of view? Can we be proud of our band? Certainly I am proud, but you do know me...

I thought the BBC broadcast was absolutely great. It came across really well and I thought the sound was good, especially for a live mix. Lots of non-stones fans were ringing me up and saying how good they sounded and that hasn't happened before. I think they have really won quite a number of new fans at the gig and from the TV coverage.
IMO the only big mistake was Mick was off key for the first verse of 200LY and quite noticeably so. Maybe it didn't sound like it live but on TV it was quite bad. 2nd verse on was fine though!
I for one am really pumped up for Hyde Park now.
I REALLY WANT TO HEAR GLASTONBURY GIRL!

BV, in answer to your question .......... EVERY single review (and I do absolutely and unequivocally mean EVERY review) has heaped praise upon the Rolling Stones for that performance. They not only lived up to expectations, they surpassed expectations. I've been flicking through various FM radio stations today whilst I've been lazing around in the garden on a nice sunny Sunday, and the Stones' performance at Glastonbury has been the subject of news bulletins and the talk of DJ's all throughout all of today; I've never heard of anything like it.
Proud ? YOU BET we can be proud !

JJF in full on BBC2 NOW!

Its so funny to read hard-die fans reviews when you are not longer one of them...you would think people change or at least, accept change.
Accept that just because the Stones change 3 to 4 miserable songs (you cannot say 2000 light years is a great song AT ALL, nor is factory girl: they might not be crappy songs but that doesnt make them remarkable good songs either) of a predictable-boring set list doesn't make it less boring.
Accepting that the only surprise left (and i am still surprised about that myself) about watching this guys play is that they still get on stage and play a song (the same songs they've been playing live over and over the last...40 years? -HTW,JJF,STF,SFD,YCAGWW,MR,BS, yes they have been played that long) you can actually recognize but hey, that doesnt mean they play it majestically or anything. Be a bit more objective.
Its funny to see how positive people are: "the best show i've seen" show after show. Delusion? i think so, otherwise you would feel a bit ripped off voluntarily after paying more than 100 euros when a cover band would be much more worth.
But if somebody says: "the music is the last thing i care about when i go to see the stones nowadays, i just want to see their faces regardless of what they do" that sounds less delusional to me than "it was a great concert, oh, now its glastonbury girl, oh, oh, and they also played 3 different songs than last time".
I dont go to listen to the stones although i once really liked them (and saw them quite a few times too, thanks god not too many). I prefer to keep the good memories. Id like being delusional but the more i appreciate music, the less appealing it gets to waste my money/energy just for the sake of watching old people playing poorly same old songs over and over again.
So i just wanted to see what i might have "missed" at Gbry and from what i heard and saw, i can tell i am glad i didnt go there to see the stones, it seemed pretty lame. Just an opinion. They will still be making money and you thinking they are great and its really ok!
