weather verdict: best ever:) only 1 day of rain - 4 of sun! redoculous- ended wearing sandles shorts/t shirt (don't even blink:)
was seeing steve winwood doin a version of this song,?
somewhat like this arrangment...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoSn2Y-b6wI
(see this version 28 mins in, from 1969 - scary!)

Fatou Diawara was even better, as were Chic and rita traore....and the congos
(brief catch of their roots reggae)
james blake and cat power and Bobby Womack -
that made a great sunday nite actually, as it was so BASS centered!?
you couldn't help but _feel_ the low tones - have to say this is something you cannot reproduce on iplayer (you probably don't have a 16*18" speaker system anyhow:) so you had to be there....
beady eye (who were a surprise show) were really quite good....
as were, ben howard and elvis costello and rufus wainwright
and sinead oconor was scorching - shame didn't see her whole act...
didnt think much to vampire weekend (as usual)
but Alt-J were good...
and laura mvula was pretty good (little bit I caught)
liked the Staves a lot
and quite like grrl band Haim, (from LA)
and I liked the last 2 songs from The Heavy!
arctic monkeys were v. good (as expected)?
as was billy bragg
dizzee rascal and publc enemy were ok (if you like that sort of thing)
tom tom club were fun (as expected)
goat were weird and the xx were a bit dull (saw a tiny snippet of them)
shame to miss nick cave, as I think his live act is stellar....
but the stones really really stle the show - especially frm poor Primal Scream
who were lookin like a pale shadow:) - version of midnite rambler and can't you hear me knockin with mick taylor - scary - when sympathy for the devil drumconga intra starts, primals vanish in the dust in the rearview mirror.....
an some people claimed you don't get much for 200 quid - i'd say that its a
bargain!
