-- Quintessential Glastonbury Moment: "Neil Diamond playing 'Sweet Caroline.' At 6 P.M. on a Sunday, Neil finally brought out the beautiful weather. People were holding hands, singing along in the sunshine -- all musical prejudices were thrown out the door."

-- Of Worthy Note: "Edwyn Collins of Orange Juice. To see him perform onstage, playing guitar with Roddy Frame from Aztec Camera, was quite emotional."

Watch the music video for Collins' "You'll Never Know (My Love)":

-- On Jay-Z's Stab at Oasis: "First off, he [Jay-Z] wasn't covering it, he just played the recording of it. And in the crowd you couldn't really hear him singing, but everyone sung along anyways. It was kind of playful punch from Jay-Z. He was acknowledging it was a great Glastonbury anthem, but that he could do just as well."

VIDEO! Jay-Z opens with "Wonderwall" before seguing into "99 Problems":
