Quotes:
"Welcome to the wonderful weekend-long life experience known as Summer Camp for Adults. This is Glastonbury, it's Friday night, you are here, you have been here most of the day, you are having a fantastic time. This is your life, this is right now, and I hope you're there, because I am. Hello and good evening." - Stipe, introducing the opening "Fall on Me". (Not part of this broadcast)
"You people are real people, I can really tell. I can feel you, I can hear you, I can smell you, I can taste you. I really, really like it." - Stipe, prior to "Losing My Religion".

Comments:
This is an edited version of the set that was played at Glastonbury starting half way through the set. For some reason the first song played on the encore has been moved to after "She Just Wants To Be", and then the last three songs before the encore and broadcast next! If this is how it was broadcast then it's a bit of a botch-up, as it is obvious listening to the soundtrack that there are cuts in the broadcast, and it could have been done much better without detection. However the quality of the recording is superb, and the show is very colourful, making it a pleasure to watch, it's just a shame that the whole set could not have been broadcast.Maybe this was from a re-broadcast or BBCi showing highlights of the show.
