Anyone watching?

Haven't seen much as there aren't many 90's indie bands playing :D

BUT...the Foo Fighters were ****ing magnificent.

Gund 'n' Roses currently on...just hoping Axel Rose doesn't spend the whole evening singing an octave below his normal range.

Aye, Foo Fightersthe best so far, Capaldi powerful but Axels voice is shot. Heard him in the early 90s and he was a powerhouse.

Aye...he's trying his best but it's a pale shadow of what it once was. Shame because the rest of the band are on fire.

November Rain was canny painful at times, tbf. Not sure I can cope with what he does to Patience...

Patience wasn't too bad.

And, for a 61 year old who's lived the life he has and is still hoying himself round the stage like someone half his age...fair play, tbh

True, but to be honest Slash carried the set… he was still amazing.

Thought the Manic’s were good too.

I suspect that Axl sounded a lot better in the field, there was definitely a problem with the feed going through for TV or a sound engineer was constantly fu(king around with it.

Disappointed in Guns n Roses. Never been a fan, but for a headlining band thought they were pretty poor.

Blondie might be worth a look man.

It would appear that Vic Reeves' pub singer has replaced Elton John...

Never been a favourite of mine but he has put on a show.

Yep, that's a fair comment.

I've had it on while I'm doing stuff for this week (quite appropriately for Elton John, we're learning about fossils XD ) and, to be honest, I've been canny into it. Still a bit pub-singer-ish but, *******s to it, he's 76. Bloody great effort.

Mind, the way he's singing it, it's more like '**** it, man' than Rocket Man...:O

Same age as me but I could not do some of my old jobs like a Fitter on the coalface or Engineer in a hot engine room in the Merchant Navy.He is not a bad musician for an old git like myself.

:D Aye, I thought you were there or thereabouts, Mick.

Think he's had it slightly easier!

Arctic Monkeys getting criticized for not playing their debut album from 2006 in full is the funniest thing. Some people cannot understand or accept change.

Thought they were great!
