Belle & Sebastian - BBC Sessions, Volume 11: In Concert, Glastonbury Festival, Worthy Farm, Pilton, Britain, 6-28-2015

Here's yet another in a long series of Belle and Sebastian performing for the BBC. It's a full concert from the yearly Glastonbury Festival in Britain.

Belle and Sebastian weren't very active for much of the 2010s. They put out an album in 2010, but didn't put out another one until 2015. That's why there's a five-year gap between this and previous volumes I've posted.

The Glastonbury Festival is massive, with a couple hundred thousand people in attendance. So I presume the band tried to be at their best, playing well known songs mixed with some from their latest album, 2015's "Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance." Other that, there's not much to say. It's an excellent recording with no problems, and there were no big surprises with the setlist or performance.

This concert is 58 minutes long.
