Glastonbury Crowd Goes GaGa for Queen of Trash Pop

Five costume changes, including a dress made of glass and a translucent bubble coat. Bondage biker gear. Union Jack-bedecked scooters. Handstands. Flames shooting forth from what can only be described as her "assets."

No, not some kind of sunstroke-and-pharmaceutical-induced vision. This was Lady GaGa's Friday set, arguably the day's most electrifying Glastonbury performance -- that is if you're not a man wearing a flannel shirt, of course.

She started the set with 'Paparazzi,' emerging from a silver pod in a silvery dress, donning an outsized keytar, before departing the stage and then coming back on for 'Boys Boys Boys' wearing a spiky red bondage suit (In that heat? Clearly she's a martyr for her art).

More costume changes followed, before she took to the stage singing 'Eh Eh' wearing her now-infamous flame-spitting bra. How long before they're in the shops?

Never mind she seemed to think it was July. The woman's mind is quite clearly pre-occupied with other, higher things.

    Neil Young goes electric.

    Neil Young won over the Glasto crowd with a set filled with classics like Heart Of Gold.

    ... and on stage, a vision in pink and purple.
