The Glastonbury Diaries - Saturday 28th June

Dont save me from tomorrow; tears poured out of all holes from Peter Doherty last night. I'm not sure if any wild-eyed festival-goers will be treated to a more sincere and heartfelt show all weekend. It certainly was iconic for me. The surprisingly tall and elegant Doherty was in fine form. Who ever said crime doesn't pay? It certainly did for us lucky enough to witness such a flawless spectacle. A dish of greatest hits was served up fresh as can be, by the prancing, dreaming Doherty. The natural arena-rise of the Park Stage field offered a perfect view for all who were watching, singing, and videoing the show (espeically for YouTube, of course). As a big fan of Peter Doherty, i basked in the glory of seeing one of modern music's most romantic, poignant, epic and natural songwriters up close and personal in such an intimate scenario. I can't help but feel that Peter is now taking his solo performances very seriously. Perhaps a solo album is on the cards, and based on this gift from him, it will be a big hit.
