Gorillaz - Glitter Freeze (Live @ Glastonbury 2010)

Mark E Smith was a legend. Brilliant collaboration with Gorrilaz. RIP Mark.

[@EuchridEucrow1]

The funniest thing about this performance is that Mark E. Smith is actually reading the gibberish he's shouting from notes he wrote down earlier. Legendary.

[@NikGibbs]

No, he isn't.

[@falljokertss4622]

Don't think so, you prick

[@Alsacowa]

Because Gorillaz was under-prepared for this show. They were a last-minute replacement for U2 and didn't rehearsed as they should have to give a clean show. I personnally like this performance though :-)

This was one of the most memorable performances ever, classic combination 😁

[@lancashirebomber9744]

there is a genius on that stage, and a few legends.

[@Fetz17]

Damon Albarn looks furious at the drummer @ 1:37. I was there and they put on a great show, but they were definitely under-rehearsed. Mark E. Smith is a bit of a loose cannon as it is, but I think the late nature of their booking (suddenly replacing U2 with a show much more technical than many others) showed. Bobby Womack was all over the place by the end of Stylo, and an ailing Lou Reed and unforseen absence of Mos Def can't have helped matters!

Phase 1 wasn’t Cass, also PB did have a story but that moreso was cancelled by their label, IIRC. It does explain why Humanz, Now Now, Song Machine and Cracker Island lacked in the story department however

[@KodakKid]

Cass the drummer was supposed to stop for the big breakdown part but he carried on. Damon told him off

[@ChrisBrown-999]

I've been hunting down here for the reason. I think you're right. Although go back and check the context because you wrote this five years ago. Mark E Smith. I think in this show Mark just took this whole number over, and made it his own, cut Damon out. And while he's busy complaining, he's part of one of the great rock performances of all time.

[@cmcbride]

@@ChrisBrown-999 There's an alternate recorded version of this track out there with a lot more MES vocal parts, including a lot of the lines from this performance. I don't think it's unexpected, plus he was well known for being unpredictable and doing his own thing. Really don't think Damon would be annoyed at him over this performance.

[@chaunceyloveshack9530]

@@cmcbride i agree, i'm sure damon is well aware of mark's onstage antics, any fall fan is. definitely frustrated with the drummer at least.

[@essiusc]

reading the comments you guys are good and really knowledgeable. About 2 three years ago I stumbled across Stylo video on MTV and was like what the heck is this then Bobby Womack sings it too. amazeballs!. Then I found the Gorrillaz on KZbin and said, let me take a listen to Broken, and bawled my eyes out. Then listened and watched Clint Eastwood thing and when the Gorillas in the video did a little MJ Thriller move in the grave yard scene I was hooked. Big MJ fan here, I'm a Gorillaz newbie, but reading your comments helps to get some background. I'm sorry but I'm guilty of loving to watch this live concert. The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble has been to NY a few times but I keep missing their shows never new they existed until now,. I have to see these guys. Also became a fan of Little Dragon. Im looking forward to Gorrillaz new music. And that Damon guy is soooooo cute too LOL!
