The BBC have lots of coverage of this year’s festivals, so hopefully that will include some Dinosaur action. The only specific mention I’ve seen is that the set (perhaps the whole thing) may be viewable via the interactive content. I don’t think my PVR can record interactive content, but hopefully somebody can capture it.

If you flick to the Sunday page, it suggests that the set may also be viewable online.

I’d like to seem optimistic but I recall the Live Earth coverage from the BBC was appalling e.g. Metallica and Spinal Tap. Hopefully they learned from their mistakes though.

It’s nice to know we might get to see them play though.

They played the entire set on BBC3 about an hour ago …

There was mention that you would be able to watch all of today’s highlights on the BBC website from tomorrow …

I can’t believe I missed it. That’ll teach me to watch the Vicar of Dibley.

They’re also on interactive right now. Half way through Freak Scene.

Agreed – Lou seems bemused by the crowds reaction though… Good 30 minute set . Highlights for me – Murph coming in a song too early with Just Like Heaven drum intro, nice Feel The Pain, Freak Scene (#1 in the NME December 1976 according to Lou! – , a rocking Mountain Man, Back To Your Heart getting an airing oo. Crowd seem into it imo.
Thank you the BBC. You’re spoiling us with your publicly funded arts/culture and un-biased news reporting!
I don’t feel bad about not going to Reading now. Dinosaur were the only thing I wanted to see and I hate the damned festival scene these days. (adopts old codgers voice) In my day Dinosaur played on the main stage over Nirvana and 16 yr old kids had to get in with an adult! There was no TV coverage and you were lucky if you weren’t by an empty cider bottle full of piss. In fact getting warm piss thrown at you in a plastic Blackthorn cider bottle was compulsory!!
