Having been at Glastonbury last weekend, I feel the need to delurk for a mo...

I've never considered myself a U2 fan, but, had they played, I probably would have gone to see them, even though they clashed with NMA. After all, I've never seen U2, (and would not pay to go to a stadium to do so), and I have, (lterally), seen NMA hundreds of times...

That said, when that song started, and the Edge strolled on stage, I actually felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, and a shiver down my spine. In all my years of solid gigging that is a rarity, and one I'll not forget for a while. There were a lot of open mouths amongst my friends - one nearly dropped her falafel, and I was so pleased I hadn't heard that particular rumour in advance.

I love Muse anyway - have done for years, and as always, they'd already not disappointed me with a blinding show - that Edge moment though, was just the icing on the cake... I've never watched Muse on TV, and I don't as a rule like big gigs, but they really do own the stage and overwhelm any audience when you are there...

Great weekend - also enjoyed Stranglers, 2 NMA sets (including 1 soley of covers), Neville Staples, the Beat, Gang of Four, Nouvelle Vague, Ade Edmondson's band, Slash - surprisingly, Alabama 3, and probably a few others which have slipped my mind right now...

Back to work & lurking, Jane

On the topic of Muse at Glastonbury, here's a clip where The Edge joins them for a rousing cover of "Where The Streets Have No Name"

BTW, Muse' bass player looks exactly like Jimmy Kimmel.
