Watch: Jay-Z's Glasto intro film

But the opening ten minutes of Jay Z's set was one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Just before he come on I was worried how everyone would react, but he didn't get where he is today by not knowing how to play a crowd. He absolutely nailed it.

he was so good.

cringeworthy attempt at a social commentary?

This guy's a fucking loser.

sounds well good.

an unbelievably fit wife and has just played a gig to about 90,000 people that everyone is raving about.

Yep, sucks to be him.

And it wasn't social commentary, it was a tongue in cheek pop at how over the top all the talk of him playing had gone.

And he will have had to have paid to use the Beatle's music, and since they love money I doubt they have a problem with it.

Seriously dude, you lost this one. You can fight Noel's battles for him another day.

by the Pyramid field on Thursday. I was going to say hello, but I didn't want to be all "HI I'M FROM DER INTERNETZ" as no one wins with that

I might just do it

No subtitles? That was the best part!

On the Wireless site they're down as 10 to 6.

But I'd love to see them with Wiley again, and their set at Glasto was bitching

i never thought id see 70,000 people booing the worst man (+band) ive ever laid ears on.

jay z was also fucking amazing FYI

never fails to disappoint

I still get tingles just thinking about it.

I had watched Elbow earlier in the evening and declared their show to be one of the greatest i've ever been in the audience for. It was unreal, the crowd knew everyword, everyone sang along, the weather was PERFECT, everybody was grinning their head off. As cheesy as it sounds, it was one of those moments which makes you feel glad to be alive. Oh yes. Anyways, after Elbow, we stuck around for Hot Chip out of laziness and had a bit of a dance. "These are ace" I thought, "but it'll never top that Elbow set. I don't think anything ever will."

Sooooo.... imagine my suprise roughly 40 odd minutes later as i'm going absolutely mental in the middle of one of the largest crowds i've ever seen at the Pyramid Stage. Seriously, it was standing room only towards the back of the field as we made out way down into the crowd.

I will never, ever, ever, ever forget that atmosphere as the Jay-z intro video played out and faded into the opening chords to Wonderwall. I never though i'd hear near 100,000 people boo Noel Gallagher. I never thought a perfect, life-affirming, glowing sunset gig by one of my favourite bands would be blown totally out of the water by a hip-hop act i'd gone to watch out of curiosity, just because i'd never watch it in any other circumstance.

What a fucking gig that was.
What a fucking GIG!

That is my tuppeny worth. Anyone else still reeling from it?

sent me that line on a txt.
i flippin' loved it.
brilliant fun.

When I watch Encore on youtube and hear his little speech I get goosebumps
