Jay-Z went down a storm. Entertainment wise, I have never seen a better headline performance at the Pyramid stage and I have seen Radiohead, Coldplay, Muse, Oasis, McCartney and the White Stripes to name a few. I have never seen the Pyramid field so full. He came out with a point to prove and he smashed it. Many of my mates came to see him on Saturday night expecting a train crash and hoping to put the knife in - they were all won over.
I agree that some of Jay-Zs views are totally in contrast with what some people believe that Glastonbury stands for. But the world had moved on and Glastonbury is doing the same.
Like it or not, Jay-Z has helped give Glastonbury the shot in the arm it has needed.
I am sure tickets will be sold out in record time next year.

I'd pretty much agree with all of that. Jay-Z put on a great show, he's a real showman and knows how to entertain a crowd. I saw 50 year old women bouncing it was great! Everyone I spoke to about it afterwards said they really enjoyed it. It was definitely the biggest crowd i've ever seen at the Pyramid stage in the 4 times i've been so far. I'd bet that at least half of the crowd watching didn't own a single Jay-Z record. That's what Glastonbury is all about for me just going there with an open mind and experiencing new things. You'll never get anyone being bottled off there you can be sure of that.
