I love Matt Smith's involuntary squeaks of laughter, like he can't quite believe this is happening. A great glastonbury moment.

[@JdTV79]

I wish Delia Derbyshire could see this. Her pioneering sound turned into a classic of popular culture. Too bad she didn't get the credit she deserves.

[@jimprior180762]

I love Delia Derbyshire, she was unique, highly intelligent, very sexy and made groundbreaking music. She had the patience of a saint splicing and looping tapes for each note. I also like the early White Noise albums, amazing bizarre and beautiful compositions.

[@ColaWeissify]

she sees it from above....

[@2112jonr]

Oh, but she did, and she does. In synth circles she is very much acknowledged and admired as a pioneer of electronic music. It's only the wider public who are sadly ignorant.

[@Silver-rx1mh]

I bet she would have been so proud. :)

[@roundtheloopandback]

Over the years this has been rearranged and had bits added etc, but the core is what DD came up with, this is nothing short of amazing, I have been there and seen this trust me watching it on KZbin is good but not the same, atmosphere is mental.

[@retro_reflections]

Makes me smile when people ask me why I went to see Orbital instead of Stevie Wonder on the Pyramid Stage...*this* is why. Absolutely bonkers, and utterly brilliant.

[@kalipassion04]

He was the king this night. Undeniably the king.

[@trespire]

It's high time the BBC made it official. As an exception, give Dalia the full credit she deserves.

[@iaind73]

Massively late replying, while the BBC have not given her the full credit, she did get a credit about the theme tune in the credits of the 50th anniversary special

[@MYEVILTWIIN]

That’s because it was Ron Grainer that wrote the music

[@djtomoy]

I like that they always look like they’re having a good time too

[@ModeMan101]

Matt Smith, twiddling knobs like he's flying the TARDIS 🤣

[@CadeXR]

Might be the hardest remix of the DW theme known to man

[@markkilley2683]

One of my favourite tracks of all time, regardless of who does it.

[@erik5374]

Dr Who does it. This time.

[@thefantasyreview8709]

I like to think this is actually the Doctore on the stage. The Tardis is backstage, and he's seriously into Breakbeats.

[@Squicx]

I think this is the first time we’ve ever seen The 11th Doctor in his beta costume before his tweed jacket. Look it up!

[@Mushroom67]

Wow for me, just another day for the genius that is Orbital. If you were there, you'll never forget.

[@blank_kom]

This is canon

[@aarong2253]

11 went on a drunk sesh after loosing amy 😂

[@IsiahTomas]

Thank you, Sylvie.

[@graemekeable8461]

One of the greatest tunes of all time, Delia Derbyshire created something absolutely magnificent. The orbital version is also astonishing and, without doubt, my favourite orbital track

[@evolve991]

my favorite doctor

[@boydegg]

Matt Smith: Go on, I'll do a half.

[@DistantCousin]

🤣🤣🤣. I saw him absolutely wasted at the end of the night in Pacha, Ibiza in 2015. He gave me a massive hug though!

[@robertbrighton9797]

This ended my first Glastonbury. Was fucking perfect

[@nathong3229]

Hahahaha I was there!.... however, I'd spent 3 days drinking nothing but Brothers Festival Cider and as this was playing was holed-up in my tent in some kind of dehydration induced psychosis hahaha watching the green lasers go across the sky through the ventilation netting in my tents roof - Crazy days indeed HAHAHAHA! ..... I heard it at least :D

[@CHARLIEGOUGH888]

Best performance at Glastonbury ever!

The Doctor will save us alll..... (as always)

[@danwalsh9838]

The best doctor in my opinion

[@eklektikTechno]

Tom Baker in my opinion was the best but I’m GenX

[@nero5971]

Opinion opinions opinions, love it I think both your choices are correct

[@elizabethjoyhalladay961]

this is British it kinda makes me proud. Even if you haven't seen Doctor Who, everyone knows the theme

[@StarMusik]

So awesome! When it first started I thought it was going to be something with Jean-Michel Jarre and his laser harp. Cuz it looked exactly like that. That would have been awesome if they combined Jean Michelle Jarre's laser harp with Matt Smith and the Doctor Who theme like they did but it was so fucking great I love this so much!

[@angproudfoot9023]

Yesss what a great idea.

[@RetroJay1974]

Delia and Orbital! nobody else will ever top this!

[@derrickcodman]

Matt Smith was one of the greatest doctors

[@garyw370]

Such a great tune, but this performance is definitely made even better by the 11th Doctor himself, Matt Smith, being there! 😄😎

[@amanofmanyparts9120]

This Is Brilliant

[@tammydundon2171]

Damn. Wish I had been there. What a show!

[@rickholdenmusic]

Woohoo go Mr Smith and Orbital! Total banger - but Delia Derbishire did this originally total legend she is to this day we would have no electronic music without what she did x

[@eklektikTechno]

She is a pioneer but I wouldn’t go that far as to say she built the foundation for electronic music, your forgetting about the likes of Kraftwerk, Tangerine dream, and several 60’s experimental groups she certainly contributed but she is in no way the reason we have sequence synthesized music today

[@JJ62]

Matt Smith absolutely NOT off his face there :)

[@Sedna_B]

surely not needed to be for this amount of crowd and performance.

[@thezphase4074]

Man! I want to hang out up there in Scotland. The Orb dudes do a good show.

[@AndRewUK24]

Orbital not The Orb because they are a different electronic act in the same genre of music.

[@thezphase4074]

@@AndRewUK24 I like the The Orb stuff too.

I would totally g33k out if in 2022 Peter Davidson, David Tennett and David's son introduced this song...that way we could see (hopefully) 3 Generations of the Doctor😉😁

Why they never let Orbital made the Intro Theme for the Series? Who nose?

[@selinakyle2368]

Nose?

[@AnimePrayer]

@@selinakyle2368 That's a joke from the series. The old Doctor meets his following doctor and answers to a question with "Who nose!" and grab the nose of his counterpart. It works, because in the series the Doctor Who knows everything!

[@LamiNalchor]

I don't think that there is a dvd of this concert.

[@shaunsayshey]

boom

Much more interesting when Pink Floyd worked the riff into "One of These Days."

[@MrWayout74]

I have always hated Dr Who. As a kid Tom Baker scared the be-jesus out of me. Was this just a Glasto thing or did Orbital do the new show's theme music?

[@theboxedcat_]

Yeah no just a Glasto thing, sadly.

[@tomkot]

Visuals are amazing, but the song version is very disappointing, the version on the album The Alltogether is much better

[@theorb3078]

Who is that poser?

[@Seanatonin]

Matt Smith > Jodie

[@Seanatonin]

Jodie's Doctor doesn't have the charm or wit of Matt's Doctor

[@Seanatonin]

and she acts like a kid.

[@WhatWouldNinjaDo1]

Every actor to have portrayed The Doctor thus far, including Peter Cushing > Jodie

[@hichaelmartline]

Holy shit you are guys are miserable people. Do you guys just randomly add this into conversations that have nothing to do with Who? "My mom died' "Well, I hate Jodie's performance in series 11" LOLOLOLOLOL

[@Seanatonin]

​@@owenoastler101 At least Matt didn't condensend to other male characters, unlike Jodie.

[@Chewligan1]

Shame he was the worst Dr Who - Tom Baker was obviously the best.

[@JoshLStuff]

😂 Matt Smith captured the old Vs young quite well I thought but each to their own
