[@nigelfelton9824]

The whole set was on iplayer

[@marquonuk]

No. I recorded the whole evening so I could get what turned out to be just the 7 mins or so that the BBC decided to show, comprising of the Latte song + This Town (covering their beginning and their latest, was presumably the editing choice?). Great to hear that the whole set is on iPlayer, but I'm hoping it might be shown on BBC4 sometime as that's much easier for me to watch. :-)

[@robinavalyn9513]

Just love it! Remember dancing to Sparks in the 70s--we danced much like this, then!

[@SilverSnowstorm]

This was so magical, I was so happy that sparks performed at Glastonbury as I remembered them collaborating with Franz Ferdinand as the band FFS in 2014. I couldn’t believe 8 years after their last performance at Glastonbury they came back. So amazing Cate Blanchett to be on stage with them.

[@dariowestern]

They are not underrated. They've sold millions of records, it's just that spontaneous international success has eluded them. They should have been as big as The Rolling Stones, U2, Led Zeppelin, Bruce Springsteen and Prince where record sales were concerned. If this set is anything to go by, it might just happen for them finally.

What! I didn't realise Sparks were still going... and looking great. I was in my 4th year at secondary school in 1974, when "This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us"" was no.2 in the UK charts. Ron on the keyboard has proved my theory that staying still slows down the ageing process.
