Video: Thom Yorke Glastonbury 2010 Secret Gig

One of the most instructive things at Glastonbury are the snatches of conversation you catch as you move around the site. It’s like an early beta of Twitter, only less banal. The average festival-goer would do well to have this mind when incoherently explaining that Glastonbury is bigger than the music or how wonderful its vibe is. Like Twitter, these brief bites of semi-formed thought represent a zeitgeist of sorts. I can’t think of a more concise description of the festival than the one offered by a gentleman who cheerfully exclaimed, ‘I’m inside a festival!’ when on the phone [...]

Every time I look at one of these videos, I'm reminded that our music festivals that we have here in the States are gatherings, and festivals, i.e., Reading and Glastonbury  overseas are MUSIC FESTIVALS. These are very preliminary highlights of Glastonbury 2010, and look for more later in the day and tomorrow. Thom Yorke + Jonny Greenwood did a surprise set with no new material and Florence joined the XX on stage.

Glastonbury has become the official festival I must experience before I die. Muse performing with The Edge and a blistering set from Gorillaz would be enough to make me go but a special surprise performance from the greatest band of all time would have made me jump on the next flight out. Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead appeared on the Park Stage after festival organizer Michael Eavis introduced them as the biggest surprise of the event (via At Ease ). Yorke, dressed like the hairest tennis player ever, [...]

Bono kann sich endlich vollzeitig seinem Gutmenschentum widmen. Die Nachfolger sind bestimmt. Mattew Bellamy und seine zwei Mitstreiter haben am Glastonbury Festival vor 100'000 Fans einen beeindruckenden Headliner-Gig gespielt ( Review vom Guardian ). Als Höhepunkt coverten sie U2s "Where The Streets Have No Name" mit The Edge an der Gitarre und unter dem Käppi. Mehr Pathos geht nicht.( via ) m Ausserdem gaben Thome Yorke und Johnny Greenwood einen Überraschungsgig - vor circa 15'000 Menschen (?). Wieviel Überraschung da wohl dabei ist? Anyway, das Resultat war ebenfalls [...]

Note to America: This is what a crowd singalong looks like. Thom and Jonny played a surprise set at the Glastonbury Festival today, with no new songs from Radiohead's almost-done LP8 but - considering the response - still obviously a treat. This is the first video; we'll update if we see more. (Today's Twitter rumor is that Thom has magically made it across the Atlantic to New York's Vice-sponsored Creators Project with M.I.A., Sleigh Bells, etc., but I'll wait for the YouTubes.)
