MikeyB37 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 They headlined the Jazz stage on the Friday in '99, with Orbital headlining the Saturday. What a year! Can we have a 10th anniversary repeat of that please Mr E? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glastoman417 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 if they were making an appearance it would be as a headliner but we've already got two grandads and blurrrrrrgh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocscoffer Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I saw them at V in 2005 - and they played something like 3pm in the afternoon. Which was a bit of a shame as they were the highlight of the day by a mile! Headlining Other Stage - YES PLEASE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superscally Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) That was 2004 that they played in the afternoon and it was ok. However in 2006 they were on just before Morrissey (who was the headline act). They were absolutely awesome that day (I actually met Maxi Jazz that afternoon, he was watching the sugababes, he was stood next to me for ages until a mate recognised him!).

darrenbha Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I'd love Faithless to return, Missed them last time round or rather caught the last 10 minutes of their set and felt gutted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Day Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Saw them at T about 5pm in blazing sunshine and they were brilliant. Like another poster I haven't seen anything rumoured that would beat Faithless for me. Saw them indoors at SECC and it's bands like Faithless that bring it home to me why I love live music in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glastonburynoodles Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 My number one performance of all time. I am hoping that they are the 4th 'mystery' headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugger2k Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 see, i knew this thread was worth a bump. never met anybody who was at that gig who doesnt rate it in their top 5 of all time http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=otLEUwHao_E&...feature=related bring them back to glasto 2009!!!!

Tugger2k Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) There is not one band, in the entire world, that I would chose over Faithless live. Not even Radiohead (although I would cry a bit!!) Their set in 2002 was the best act I have ever seen; I was with a large collection of family and friends at the back of the field & watching the crowd writhe and move and undulate was the most amazing thing; it took mere minutes for everyone, right up to the back, to be standing and dancing and shouting and screaming. We still talk about it now - when my little sister was born in May 2003 we were still raving about it - it's no coincidence that her middle name is Jazz!

Tugger2k Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 It really does show how important that gig was to so many people though - absolute definitive Glastonbury performance, the beautiful rendition of Crazy English Summer bought a tear to many.

MikeyB37 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 but surely their out this summer, no? i could take them not being at glasto as long as i knew theyd be at @ brixton, again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugger2k Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I dont know any more than you really, the album's apparently due for release this summer so there's bound to be a tour & some fest appearances to go along with that. And yes... back to Brixton please! Last time i saw them there was 2005, went to the Shepherds Bush Empire gig in 2007 (the night after the Chems in Trafalgar square, what a weekend that was!)

mdp963 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) I have seen them 4 times now ...coincidentally and strangely associated with memorable food of some kind Glastonbury ... the definitive seminal musical moment after Garlic Bread, Pasty and Chips and Cider ( at the Bus) Brixton ... totally different sensational late night performance after a top class West Indian Cafe Meal BIC Bournemouth ... another brilliant evening after a excellent fish meal on the promenade at Bournemouth Hyde Park - Free mega priced O2 hospitality tickets were there was awesome amounts of food and drink of every conceivable nature I doubt that Eavis is thinking about Faithless as the 4th ( "surprise nobody has thought of act") .... they have been discussed ad infinitum Edited January 23, 2009 by mdp963 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
