Archive: Doves at Glastonbury 2009 (Edited Highlights)

The BBC have yet to broadcast Doves’ full set from this year’s Glastonbury festival, and it’s entirely possible that it may never be broadcast in full.

A programme of edited highlights (which has also been made available to UK viewers via the BBC’s website) was screened via interactive digital TV, early Saturday morning. It excludes a number of performances; some of which we will be able to upload over the next few days (namely ’10:03′, ‘The Outsiders’ and ‘Here It Comes’).

Glastonbury Report

Here is the NME report of doves triumphant performance on Glastonbury’s John Peel Stage.

Performing in front of a loud, enthuastic crowd, the trio immediately had the audience bouncing along with an uptempo intro including the likes of ‘Pounding’ and 10.03′, earning them a loud ovation after each song.

“Listen, no Manchester,” joked Jimi Goodwin with the crowd midway through the set after there were chants for the band’s home city. Instead the singer/bassist was intent on praising the festival: “Glastonbury! You’ve got to broaden your horizons lads.”

Later Goodwin toasted the crowd, declaring them “magic people!” before raising a drink to the other bands headlining the festival tonight. He then introduced ‘The Cedar Room’, declaring it got its “first play this stage [the then new band’s stage] in 1998!”

The band briefly left the stage afterwards, but returned for an encore featuring ‘Here It Comes’, ‘There Goes The Fear’ and – by their original incarnation Sub Sub – closer ‘Spaceface’.

The band then left the stage with giant images of John Peel projected onto their backdrop.

The Setlist:

Jetstream
Snowden
Winter Hill
Pounding
10.03
Words
The Greatest Denier
Kingdom Of Rust
Black And White Town
The Outsiders
The Cedar Room
Here It Comes
There Goes The Fear

Spaceface

Part of the set is already archived on the 6music website. Listen again to Lamacq’s Headline Set. Doves start 11 minutes in with Snowden just finishing. Winter Hill, Pounding & 10.03 can be heard in full.

Lots more to come over the weekend.

Jez Pays Tribute To Michael Jackson

In an interview with BBC 6 Music, Jez has spoken about Michael Jackson’s untimely death yesterday.

Picking up on the sombre mood around Glastonbury Jez admitted that the news about Jackson’s death had shocked them all and revealed to 6 music how the Thriller singer would be remembered by the band:

“The Jackson 5 you know, incredible and unique with a dangerous groove, he had his groove on you know.”

He added: “he was a super talented guy, you cant take anything away from him – full stop really.”
