........... Pyramid stage, 3.15pm ........... Willie: Nelson, like Johnny Cash before him, is the Man in Black. His trademark chieftain's braid has been replaced with shoulder-length hair, his bandana with a Stetson and shades. What happened: For his first Glastonbury appearance in 10 years, 77-year-old Nelson delivers a brisk stroll through his back catalogue, cramming in 30 songs in under an hour. All the classics are present and correct: Whiskey River, Good Hearted Woman, On the Road Again, Crazy, Georgia On My Mind, Bloody Mary Morning, Crying, plus numerous nods to Hank Williams. A highlight of the set is the touching sight of Nelson trading licks with his "little sister" the late Bobbie Lee on piano. Armed with "Trigger", his battered relic of a guitar with a hole in the side, Nelson displays serious soloing skills, proving he is as much in thrall to jazz, blues and rock'n'roll as he is to country.
