SRSLY, i've never seen a live hiphop set that good (reports from awesomewells suggest it was as good live as on the telly), it avoided all the bad things that can happen (too much shouting/hype men, interminable funk jams, rubbish audience participation) and ripped the piss something chronic out of Noel Gallagher into the bargain. just THE FLOW dudes, i'd never rly thought of Jay-Z in terms of rapping skill, but he was phenomenal, holding a massive crowd in (and i apologise for the cliche, but there's no better way to describe it) the palm of his hand, and gracious enough to thank the crowd repeatedly for their support (yeah yeah, i know words are easy but he looked very sincere about it).

HOWEVER, do avoid the "westwood meets jay-z backstage" clip, it's toecurlingly bad from both of them...

UK ppl should totally watch it on iplayer if they missed it, non-uks should at least check here or here to see if it works or just wait for it to pop up on youtube ;)

I am crap at festivals because I hate people and am not sure I even like live music very much. Getting pissed in a field appeals, though.

However, I agree thoroughly about the Jay-Z set.
