johnny flynn was real good and i thought pretenders were ace even though i wasnt a fan

I agree, I thought Seasick Steve's songs were great. A whole lot better and certainly more fun than Ben Harper imo

Neil was astounding -- loved the encore too. Chrissie Hynde and crew were surprisingly good, despite the heat. Ben Harper had some great moments too. But I found Seasick Steve lived up to his name -- completely nauseating. His performance felt disingenuous and depressing -- a mediocre bluesman (decent guitarist though) playing a character to sell to guileless Brits -- right down to swigging the Jack Daniels. But hey, I guess that's why they call it Show Business.

all was good apart from Ben Harper, who is obviously a very good musician but was very dull.

MOST AMAZING NIGHT EVER

Neil Young Setlist http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/neil-young/2009/hard-rock-calling-london-england-6bd676be.html

Alberta Cross & Mumford & Sons were cool as ever.

Superb! Even after all these years the old fart can still outshine most acts around these days. Not even an appearance by Paul McCartney could spoil a great show, and it could only have been better if he'd played On The Beach or Out On The Weekend.

Their sound/harmonies are so unique it's unmissable. Shame to miss Priscilla too, but you can't see everyone. Seasick Steve, Ben Harper, Fleet Fox,es Magic Numbers and Neil Young was plenty. I can't stop listening to Neil's Live at Massey Hall 1971 album... strikes a chord in me.

Don't know Alessi's Ark so will have to check them out! Glad you enjoyed Fleet Foxes from the sounds of it most people did as well

Glad to hear The Magic Numbers were good, I'm not a fan so I don't feel I missed out though. I would have liked to have caught Alessi's Ark and Priscilla Ahn but it wasn't to be. I thought Fleet Foxes were incredible.

yeah i missed Paul going on stage :( got to hear it from the xylophone onwards though :)

You missed a good one in Magic Numbers. they played a blinder! Fleet Foxes weren't doing it for us so we went to see Magic #s and was worth it! Neil was great & Priscilla Ahn. Seasick Steve was brilliant though.

Aye I was disappointed i didn't see Johnny Flynn too. And I missed Paul at the end =(

fleet foxes & sea sick steve were my favourites, and when neil sang heart of gold. bit of a shame i didn't get to see johnny flynn or the magic numbers, but it was still a great day/night!

I went to the second stage between Fleet Foxes and Neil Young and saw The Magic Numbers there, one of the highlights of the evening.

I didn't get a chance to check out any of the smaller stages but of the supports acts on the main stage I thought Seasick Steve and Fleet Foxes were both fantastic.

Perfect. One of the best thigns I have done in my 16 years of life.

cortez would have been the icing ... then again i thought Words (Between the Lines of Age) was

Brilliant. Cortez would have made it perfect, but an awesome gig nonetheless.

Despite the lack of Cortez and Pocahontas, still truly awe-inspiring. Pretty cool when Paul McCartney turned up at the end for A Day In The Life too.

Amazing.

i love how the endings to most of the elecric numbers were longer than the actual tack; take for example cinammon girl ...

phenomenal...just amazing. and paul mccartney came on for the encore of day in the life!

argh

Today now! So excited!

Just watching BBC coverage of Neil at Glastonbury. Nice cover of A Day in the Life. Getting excited...two good support bands as well as Neil to look forward to. Cornish1: they sell alcohol in there (£3.50) - you can't bring it in. See here for what you can take in, and everything else: http://www.hardrockcalling.co.uk/home

It's not sold out, you can still buy tickets http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/event/2200423CDB0E703F?brand=&hot_ticket_brand=home

E-mail is mgabor0830@yahoo.com Thanks very much (hopefullly!!!) x

Hello hello! If anyone has an extra ticket, please do e-mail me A.S.A.P.!!!! I just moved to London literally one week ago, and am absolutely desperate to go to this! Just need the one ticket! x

I've just posted the times for all the bands above

Anyone know what you're allowed to take into the venue/park ... like beer etc ?

Sadly, on this tour, only Cortez The Killer is sometimes played. Danger Bird or Pardon My Heart would be awesome !!

Anyone local gonna go down see if they can hear it for free?

According the the Hard Rock Calling site he's on from 8.15pm until 10.15pm.

Hey really need this info urgently!! I really really want to catch Neil Young live this Saturday but only land in London (Gatwick) at 13:35... does anyone know at what time he is playing?! >_<

Anything from Zuma would be pretty sweet tbh.

I also hope Neil to play Cortez, it's my favourite song. I expect a great set to close his European Tour.

Less than I week now, gonna be a long week I bet, only only one request and that is for Neil to play Cortez, never seen it live in the flesh, Mmmmm iceing on the cake if he plays that.

Still got two spare tickets for the gig! Contact me if you're interested!

Hey Hey, My My, Rock & Roll Will Never Die. Not as long as Neil's around it won't.

Yep, you are never guaranteed anything knowing Neil, but that's why we love him!

Cracking looking set-list from IoW. Don't Let It Bring You Down? Jee-zus. I may faint. However, knowing how contrary the old buzzard is, he may play the whole of Trans AND Fork In The Road, laugh, and stroll off. But, he did play a lot of the same set at Hop Farm last year, so fingers crossed. And in reply to an earlier post, I went to the Hard Rock Calling gig with Peter Gabriel and Crowded House a couple of years back, and whoever they had on the second stage (can't remember as I was too busy freaking out to Finn and Big Pete) were playing at pretty much the same times throughout the day, but had all finished by the time Gabriel took the stage. But, I'm sorry, none of us should care really. Neil's the reason we're all going.

awesome. maybe >>> YES

Apparently he's been playing those two (as well as Cinnamon Girl and Rockin' In The Free World) at all the European shows so far, so I'd say there's a very good chance.

much chance of neil young playing any his older stuff? like, just old man and heart of gold.
