Scotland I love you but you're bringing me down

I couldn't bring myself to watch much more than five minutes of LCD Soundsystem's Other Stage-headlining set at Glastonbury for fear of exploding with envy, but I'm reliably informed it was pretty spectacular. So it's painful to see quite how poor the turnout was when they played at T In The Park. In what (parallel) universe are Red Hot Chili Peppers a better option, or mud an impediment, to seeing James Murphy's crew in prime form?
