Raining all day in Preston apparently

[Vintage Youth]

It's pretty grim already.

Surprising with Manics and Paul Heaton on the bill

Yes it’s actually a strong line up.

Personally prefer Saturdays line up. Sunday looks bit limp really for Radio 2. Though would’ve gone anyway just for the boys but am away unfortunately.

It's a shame that the weather looks drab and wet, although personally I'm totally over Dreamworld now. Surely Neil and Chris must be bored with this too.. Time for something fresh and new !!

At 10 pm weather will be better..Is there any link,where people outside UK can watch BBC2?

[eastendboy]

This will be the 7th time I’ve either seen dreamworld live or on TV and as y3potential said he’s over it and to be honest I am as well. Guess a special guest will maybe perk it up a bit. How about soft cell? Something they rehearsed privately. Chris did say they hadn’t found anyone but he was possibly winding us up.

Some people leaving as it’s a mud bath

Aww, it's just like old times! Honestly, these old'uns have no stamina. Is it even a UK festival if you're not hip-deep in mud? (OK, OK, I haven't lived in the UK for over thirty years, I know a lot's improved since then!!!)

If I'm counting right, the Dreamworld production has had 95 outings in three years, including today, which is a lot but still peanuts compared to global monster tours like Eras or Elton's farewell. If those Far East/US dates pan out next year, it'll go there too, then hopefully it'll have paid for itself and they can mothball the set. Having the DVD come out in January would probably limit any further demand. I've been fortunate enough to see the show three times now but I'd still go if they came to LA.

Yeah Saturdays line up was pretty good. I could pick a combo on the two nights for one cracking day, and leave some off the list.

Fantastic performance
BBC cameras suspect on Paninaro

Who was the special guest?

[joepsb]

No special guest

Sound mix is terrible on the BBC2 broadcast.
