Sounds good, I think One Step Beyond should be nearer the end though - unless they always do it first??

[staggerlee]

Thanks.

Surprised there is so little from the new album.

Great setlist nonetheless!

Looks cool, isn't Personal Jesus a Johnny Cash song originally?

I was there - what a gig!  We got there about 2 hours early so were right at the front, it was possibly by favourite festy band I've ever seen.  And the fact it was basically a greatest hits set made it even better.  

I was slightly worried about the new album coming out, thinking that they would do too many new songs, but that setlist looks good to me.  And ending with Night Boat to Cairo is just about as good as it can get.  Well looking forward to a rudeboy skank!

Nope, I'm very wrong and uncool. Cash covered DM. Sorry, feel free to hurl abuse.

By the way, who has heard Madness' new album?  Is it any good?

[Shanndy]

Think they're getting 15-20 minutes longer at Glastonbury than at Pinkpop, so expect a few more oldies such as Lovestruck, Wings Of A Dove, Grey Day and Cardiac Arrest.

its pretty decent for a band thats been writing for 30 years. hope they play we are london.

i have the extended version of the album. i think the shorter version would be better!

They always start with One step Beyond so reckon I'm going to have to bail out of the end of the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs set.

If you enjoyed them at LV, they are much better in front of a big crowd in the open air (I saw them at Bestival).

If they've got  longer set, I remember them doing Iron Shirt both times I saw them and they did Bed and Breakfast man at LV too (one of my faves!).

[MartinGooding]

cant wait very excited for this, i hope wings of a dove makes it into the set

[Phil-itfc]

they played a simular set at rock am ring couple weeks ago, they opened on one step beyond there also. so so looking forward to seeing them.

[cowmadiddy]

No Michael Caine?, or Grey Day or Wings of a Dove??, still going to be awesome though!

[Baby On A Stick]

They've got to play Wings Of A Dove!!

[daveinafield]

hope they do play sun and the rain - tis my fave

He covered it as part of his American Recordings albums, he also did Hurt by NIN and One by U2 as well as others.
