9/10 for the performance,1/10 for the crowd.... Yes it was very flat for the most part. The weather obviously dampened things (literally) and that was a shame but also Jeff's reluctance to talk to the audience didn't help either. You've got to get a festival crowd up for it especially if the conditions are poor and those long silences between songs just stops any momentum and excitement dead. A shame as it wasn't the highlight I hoped- Birmingham on Friday was a much more fitting finale and so glad I was there.

The idea of Jeff covered in Glastonbury mud pleases me smiley-cool15 .
Glitter and Mud - sounds like a good autobiography title!

www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-36635481Apparently Jeff did not draw as big a crowd as Lionel or Dolly. This only goes to show that Jeff is still too current to be relegated to the 'Legends' slot. Dolly and Lionel are well know for being, well, "cheesy" and the festival goes love a bit of a cheese-fest. Jeff should have had a headline slot! He's too good for the Sunday afternoon crowd.

Jeff on radio 2 spoke of 8 new tracks in progress I read into that new album September 17, new tour... He also said not looking to produce just into his own music, it's as though he's starting afresh . He has 2000 cassettes of ideas, oh to be amongst that lot!hes like prince 😉

Don't think I've ever seen ELO/Jeff perform in daylight before.

Watching on BBC2. Bit of a shame to see the crowd so flat, as mentioned earlier. But Jeff is no Adele when it comes to having a relationship with an audience!

Mike always tries his best to get the audience going.
Jeff looks like he's really enjoying himself.

'WWH' on BBC2 now. I'm so emotional! Even if the crowd is a bit off colour the arm waving during the acapella bit brought a tear to my eye.

Just spotted the crowd surfer!
My mum said it was more like boat-surfing than crowd surfing!
