Day 1 Highlights Glastonbury

This programme contains some strong language

and scenes of repetitive flashing images

Disclosure. Dolly Parton. Whoever I see, I will be glad to see them. I'm

just going to do good to do my part. Good evening. Welcome to Glastonbury

2014, or the year that Dolly came to Glastonbury, that's will be forever

known. She is the name on everybody's list. No matter their

age, whatever genre they're into, it's about Dolly. Today, it's all

about one thing, it started with very, very ominous weather warnings,

foreboding and it's turned out to be all right today. It's beautiful this

evening. It's twinkling like fairy land as ever. If the weather had

been a different pattern, there wouldn't be anything twinkling.

There was no power on the site at all. We won't go on and on, but this

afternoon, the weather reports were going to be dreadful, but it was a

beautiful morning and afternoon. I saw Blondie at midday and there were

200,000 Then all people. Of a sudden, the heavens opened and there

was lightning, thunder, it was everywhere. All of a sudden we lost

power. There was not one stage with any music for about an hour. It was

very eerie. It was strange. Really strange atmosphere. I spent time in

a tattoo parlour joining in the community singing going on there.

People's spirits seemed to survive. It cleared up and we have got a

beautiful evening. There was a wonderful rainbow, which you will

see at some point, people taking photographs and filming it. An

amazing rainbow after the storms had finished. It bodes very well for a

vintage Glastonbury all over again. This is a welcome back quick show.

Lily Allen later. And Lauren is on a hill, kind of over there.

Hello, here I am, overlooking not only the festival site but the Vale

of Avalon. You can see the Worthy farm cows nesting away from the

noise. The weather was amazing today. When that storm was going on,

I was chatting to Lars from Metallica and I got told off for

asking if they had brought the thunder. He said, "We don't want

your heavy metal cliches." But it was incredible. Was chatting in the

BBC music teepee to my colleague Guy and Pete from Elbow as well. They

were nervous about their gig on the Pyramid Stage. They were convinced

that the weather was going to be terrible. Pete said, the BBC has

told us the weather is going to be bad. And they believed the BBC. But

the sun set was wonderful. It was a wonderful set. We have some of it

for you now. This is Elbow live tonight.

# Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid

# I've been working on a cocktail called

# Polishing a compass that I hold in my sleeve

# Down comes him on sticks but then he kicks like a horse

# There's a Chinese cigarette case and the rest you can keep

# There's a hole in my neighbourhood

# Down which of late I cannot help but fall

# There's a hole in my neighbourhood

# Down which of late I cannot help but fall

# Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid

# There's this whispering of jokers doing flesh by the pound

# To a chorus of supposes from the little town hoods

# There'll be twisted karaoke at the aniseed lounge

# And I'll bring you further roses But it does you no good

# Down which of late I cannot help but fall

# Down which of late I cannot help but fall

# Down which of late I cannot help but fall

Let's hear you do this, Glastonbury.

You are apparently the best choir in the world.

# Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Elbow were so nervous They real

today. Ly well. He just went, I will never tire of saying this, "hello,

Glastonbury". I like the lumber Jack look. Very beefy. Talking of beefy,

I was sharing a drink with the Fisherman's Friends earlier on. They

came on and the storm started and they did just two songs before the

rain came through the roof of the tent.

rain came through the roof of the came out into the crowd and

serenaded them and moved There are around. Few bands that could have

worked like that. It was meant to be. Yeah, yeah. Someone bringing a

bit of glamour, because a lot of wellies today, but someone bringing

a lot of glamour to the festival was lily Allen. Quite a few costume

changes. Here she is this afternoon. # I suppose I should tell you

what this bitch is thinking # You find me in the studio and not

in the kitchen # I won't be bragging 'bout my cars

or talking 'bout my chains # Don't need to shake my arse

for you cos I've got a brain # If I told you about my sex life

you'd call me a slut # Them boys be talking 'bout their

bitches, no one's making a fuss # There's a glass ceiling to break,

uh huh, there's money to make # And now it's time to speed it up

cos I can't move at this pace # Sometimes it's hard

to find the words to say # Forget your balls

and grow a pair of tits # If you're not a size six,

then you're not good-looking # It's hard, it's hard,

it's hard out here for a bitch # It's hard for a bitch,

for a bitch, for a bitch # It's hard for a bitch,

for a bitch, for a bitch # If you're not a size six,

then you're not good-looking # Well, you better be rich

or be real good at cooking # You should probably lose some

weight cos we can't see your bones # Forget your balls

and grow a pair of tits # It's hard, it's hard,

it's hard out here for a bitch # It's hard for a bitch,

for a bitch, for a bitch # It's hard for a bitch,

for a bitch, for a bitch # It's hard for a bitch,

for a bitch, for a bitch # It's hard, it's hard out here

for a bitch Is this afternoon. A bit of showmanship there. I love Lily

Allen and I'm sure she will be pleased with that performance. At

one point I think I caught a glimpse of her pants. I think so! That's the

happening look this year, very much so, denim shorts and a La atore's --

labrador's head. It's a big look to be rocking this year, the the dog

head. First we will go and check out where Gemma is in a camp site

somewhere. Hello, I'm on Pennards hill. It's

lovely up here. The Arcadia weird spider thing is behind me. I've been

having a rave up. I started to really think about the ecosystem of

Glastonbury. It does mean staying in a tent for quite a few days. This is

where you're going to feel really, really not jealous. I mean the

politics of tent camping, where to put it - on a slope or not?

Preferably not but you might not have a choice. How about near the

loos, you want that in the night, but it might be stinky. I discovered

in a moment of need that someone can erect a make mikeshift toilet and

found -- erect a make mikeshift toilet and found a tent. We

investigated all of this and more a few days ago when everyone arrived.

Five, four, three, two, one... CHEERING

This weekend, 170,000 are looking for their perfect home at

Glastonbury festival and the race is on to find the perfect place to

pitch. Location, location, location. Meet Dave, the camp site manager who

helped pitchers find their ideal ao bode. -- abode. I wouldn't call us

estate agents, but we know where the spaces are. We can point you in the

right direction. The main hub of the festival is the Pyramid Stage. A tip

for getting is to be at the gate first and first to put your tent

It's tradition up. That we go there, so the sooner we get there, the

better it will be. It's near the Pyramid Stage. It's down to the left

there. It is a race, but a friendly one. Can you see everyone trying to

knock each other over on the way? Yay. Here. This will do.

Absolutely knackering. Although convenient for the Pyramid Stage,

the busy activity of big ground isn't for everyone. For families we

have an area here the meadow. The advantage of it being very close to

the Kidz Field. So all the things are there for the kiddies. We've

come to the family field, because we've come to Glastonbury with our

three-year-old and I'm six months pregnant so it seemed like the best

place to come. We pitched our tent quite close to the path because

we've got a buggy and it's easier access. We're having a Glastonbury

for our son, rather than us. I'm sure we'll have a great time but

we're focussed on him. We've had a fair few fun Glastonburies. We have

the ground to the south. Pennard Hill will be one of the first that

actually fills up. It's mainly people who like a bit of hustle and

bustle for a few It's the days. Most buzzing place. It's got a really

good vibe, with lovely people. You get a beautiful view with the fairy

lights. Late comers shouldn't expect to secure their first choice

location. Pyramid Stage, we want to be there, near to that. This is the

Pyramid Stage now, I think. Yeah? There's no point in walking into the

main areas, especially if they're marked on a map because they will be

full. Let's look over there and then maybe we go back. Down here? OK. And

be prepared to make a small amount of space go a long way. Whether you

choose to stay in spacious six-man tent or in a sleeping bag onned

bored, one -- bag on the border, one thing is for sure - you're in

Britain's best location this weekend.

There you go, camping at Glastonbury. It looked blissful in

that At that weather. Point, it did. There might be six inches of water

in some of the tents now. We are in the luxury BBC dorma bungalow ski

lodge on the hill, above the park stage. We're all right. I hope you

like our surroundings here. There's been a lot of work going on. They

finished the lighting about ten minutes before we went on air. Ten

seconds! Everyone Everywhere you go, it's beautiful, there are random

creatures on the roofs of stages and it's strange. That's a polar bear

and rabbit. It's very weird. There are lots of these creatures around

us now. That's nothing to do with the next thing that's happening. She

performed with Rude yumental. You might -- Rudimental. This is Ela

Aire. Here she is about to play for us now.

# Cos you're wanting a little more

# Can you hold out and let me do what I want?

# Will you love me when I come back? #

Great voice that. Was Ella Eyre, who is here today and tomorrow she's

playing on the west holt stage. You might see more of her performance

tomorrow. We're on the BBC covering all through the day and evening.

It's on 6 Music, BBC Three and we're doing these BBC Two shows as well.

Lots of music coming our way. Arcade Fire from 11 tonight. I'm glad

they've left the piano, because I want to do a few from my new album.

We have the surrounding area with people working to make the festival

happen and welcome people here. We're calling these Glastonbury

tales. We are going to hook up with the station master.

# Good morning Mr Railroad man # What time does the train go by? #

I'm Paul Mitchell. I'm one of the station staff here at CastleCarey.

There's long times when there's not a lot happening, so plenty of time

for looking after the flower beds. When Glastonbury comes around, we

become the Clapham Junction of the south-west for just a few days each

year, about 14,000 people will pass through this sleepy little station.

I've lived here for over 30 years. I've never been - I'm not sure it's

my type of music really - ABBA have never headlined I don't think?

Working here is really an idyllic job. From an early age I thought I

wanted to be a station master. Now I am. Train just arrived on platform

two is the Glastonbury festival from London Paddington. Make your way to

the bus that's will whisk you to the festival site to enjoy the likes of

Metallica, Arcade Fire and Kasabian. Enjoy.

This is really funny because that was very calm and beautiful. If you

could see the carnage that is going on behind the camera right now,

there are about 40 people running around trying to move things and

mikeshift cows and goodness knows what. Scurrying, beavering away

here. There are a lot of people working on this show, not that you'd

know! It's extraordinary. I never tire of seeing these lights at

night. It's like wonderland. Extraordinary fairy lights. Joining

us this year on the telly is our friend Hugh. Welcome Hugh. He's out

and about somewhere. Hello, yeah I'm by the side of the John Peel Stage.

Lykke Li has just come off stage. I'm joined by Ricky Wilson from the

Kaiser Chiefs. Hi Hugh. I can tell you're ready for this. When I came

out here, I was kind of low, then Lykke Li has come off and I'm get

thering now. I'm feeling ready now. I got on site about 11 today, the

first band I saw, a surprise special guests, Kaiser Chiefs. You've had a

busy day. It's been really busy today. It's more exciting. I haven't

stopped. I'm really enjoying it. It's Glastonbury, it's all about -

it's different, all the rules are off. Once you enter these gates, you

can be anyone up want to be. That's what everyone is proving. They're

all having a brilliant time. And they save up for the tickets and

wait a year. Most they save up for the tickets and

applied a year ago. So, like, it's a big build up.

applied a year ago. So, like, it's a build up for them, it's a build up

for us as well. This is our first, this morning was our first proper

show in the UK since the album was number one. So we were stoked to see

- because you don't know how it translates. You can sell a record

and you get all the stats and that, but you don't know until you see

people singing the words back to you whether you've connected. So many

festival anthems from your band and the new songs as well. You did a

Dolly Parton cover on Radio 2 this morning. We did. That was

interesting. Ricky, have a great set tonight. Are we done? Yeah, that's

it. You're about to go on. Kaiser Chiefs are on very soon. You'll be

able to watch this set on BBC Three at 11pm. Now back to you Mark and

Jo. Thanks Hugh. Thanks Ricky. He looks

well these days. You have to say, he's shed half his body weight. Yeah

it's funny seeing him on The One Show earlier on. Ricky was cringing

watching that. Working super hard this year at Glastonbury. That's

more or less it for this show. Can you get lost now. There's Arcade

Fire from 11. Yes, someone here for the entire weekend, this is Mr Paolo

Nutini. Enjoy this. # How was I to know you'd just come

along? # Lips like they've been singing

sexed up strawberry songs # She's the bass, she's the beat

She's the rhythm, she's the band # Sly hands, spinning webs like

silk # And I never heard the warning when

I woke up this morning # She's my rock, she's my bud,

she's tequila, she's a trip # I said the only way I win

is the way I lose # And I never got the script

I unzipped # Got a little bit wet up in my

brain # She's your church,

she's your sin # She's the oh

She's the rain # She gets me silly

She's like a trick on me # And in the climax she would scream

with me # She gets me funny, she doesn't

want none of my money # So I pour it over her like

gasoline # Light a match and then I'm back

in my teens # Me and super girl smoking my

# Unload, reload Eyes back swinging

# Sweet thing, knows things Jeff Beck sings

# Roundhouse, going down Let's go!

# Yeah, the girl, so fine You wanna scream. #
