Dark Star Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 I also saw Emmy The Great & Tim from Ash doing Where Is My Mind. In addition to House of the Rising Sun during Say I Won't (Recognise), Gaslight Anthem also covered Muddy Waters' Mannish Boy during Old White Lincoln.

Festival Liam Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 HURTS cover of kylie confide in me.......hurts were an amazing act,highlight for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buff124 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Kool & the Gang doing Don't Stop Till You Get Enough was damn near as good as Janelle's MJ tribute... I say damn near cos Janelle's Monae's set pretty much blew the roof off the stage. She just oozed confidence, class and charisma. Future headliner ? Why am I even bothering with a question mark ?

doogleduck Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Without doubt the Spirit of 71 house band playing Baker Street in memory of Gerry Rafferty. More than made up for the none appearance of Steve Hillage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king_oxymoron Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Loved Beyonce doing You Oughta Know and Janelle was indeed amazing doing I Want You Back but my highlight was: Jamie Woon - Would I Lie To You? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_top_her Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Tame impala doing massive attacks angel was pretty special, the way they were bringing it up and just cutting the sound together was perfect! Not sure if they did it at the park but played it on the pyramid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigston Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Only heard one act do covers all weekend- the balearic folk orchestra on the park stage on saturday did a haunting version of the beloved's sweet harmony (among others) which I heard while I was chillin at the tipi. Great memories! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pink Peril Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 There was a group on the Bandstand on (Thurs? Maybe?) doing covers in a random style - to the extent you had to really think about the words to work out what song it was (Eminem's Lose Yourself was a good one). They handed out stickers at the end, think they were called something like Mighty Peas? Lots of fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomicide Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Saturday at The Avalon Stage. Hobo Jones doing their usual fun stuff when Hobo told a story about how an old friend of theirs (played fiddle on their cd) had passed away suddenly in his 40's leaving behind a wife, 4 year old son and daughter who wasn't yet 6 months old. They then preceded to play a slowed down version of The Pogues' Sally Maclennan. Not a dry eye in the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feststation Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Agree with the War of the Worlds post as that was truly apocolyptic. We properley messed up with the U2 thing on Friday night as was getting wasted in the Kasbah watching the rain dropping and lost track of time. But somehow stumbled across Brit Floyd at the Accoustic tent. Dark side of the moon, Another brick in the wall then finally Comfortably numb was prob the best covers I ever will hear, never been fortunate enough to see the real Pink Floyd. Was a quiet and roomy crowd but the magic made the back of yer neck tingle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfticket Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 There were loads that pleased and surprised me; Cee Lo coming out to Iron Man, Beyonce doing You Oughta Know, TV on the Radio's Ghostbusters, the list goes on... However, Janelle Monaé's I Want You Back, obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
