    Foo Fighters. Proper rockers. Proper musicians.

    Dave Grohl - real stage presence. Even watching on tv you can feel the atmosphere that they generate. I saw them at the Isle of Wight Festival a few years ago and they blew me away. Looks like they are just getting better.

    I've been recording it all so far on my TIVO box and have just found myself watching things on fast forward. Very low standard of acts at this festival, but the Foos have just turned it up several notches!

    The Foo's are the Foo's , one of a kind band, never gets old. Best thing I like about this set is the fact there're not here just promoting their new stuff they understand the people want the classics and they're obliging, brilliant

    Opinions eh. Hate the foos myself, see them as soft rock nonsense. Quite convinced they wouldn't even have made it unless Grohl was in nirvana.

    Rapping is NOT music. Nor will it ever be. I like all kinds of music but it has to be performed by people will real musical talent. So much of what I've seen this year is just pure rubbish. Only my opinion, I know that but, in the words of Peter Gabriel some years ago "I know what I like......."

    What's negative about not liking Nirvana and Foo Fighters?

    I can only assume you like every band. Ever.

    I'm with CT on this. I don't share his taste in music at all but I share his opinion on The Foo Fighters and Nirvana.

    I preferred Radiohead to the Foo Fighters. Their set list is still playing in my head. Thought they were immense.

    I stayed up to watch the Jacksons. Pity about the sound quality for their vocals but some nice toe tapping stuff.

    The variety is great. Something for everyone. Loads of stuff from around the globe that you wouldn't normally hear.

    I'm a bit meh about the Foos - don't mind their stuff if it comes on t'wireless, but wouldn't rush out to buy it - but that Glastonbury set was the best I've ever seen. By anyone.
