When the dusts settles and these period of "imperious" headliners ceases for good/theyre not around any more, only three performances will genuinely count.

Bowie, Macca, Stones.

No Neil Young or Stevie?

Well The Who are absolutely shit live now, same with Macca and probably (i haven't seen them) Rolling Stones. 

Neil Young only person i'd pay to see at this 'festival.' 

The Who are still decent live considering. Maccas setlists are off the hook lately, I love modern Dylan gigs and The Stones at Glasto 13 was one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. Maybe the greatest. Universal acclaim. Incredible gig.

Neil is always great yeah. Unless he plays 25 minute versions of songs people don't know.

Radiohead? If not their last one then when they come back and do a career-spanning set.

Loved both shows, would rank both in the top ten shows I've ever seen but neither has the importance of the other three I mentioned IMO. The other three are the ones people will return to again and again throughout history.

I know you are a roger waters hater (apologies if I have you mixed up with someone else) but he should have a new album out by the time of this festival, so I think he shouldnt be disregarded.

I suspect the crowd will be expecting wish you were here and comfortably numb rather than the likes of amused to death though...

Ah ok. No I'm a big Rodge fan. Hero! You must've got me mixed up with a c**t?

But yeah, he'll have a new album out, as will Dylan, Neiler will too, seems The Stones will aswell and Macca may have some new stuff out too.

You dropped a bollock mate.

I went with an old mate from Uni that year who is well into his electronic music. We chose Aphex Twin(as DJ AFX)/Squarepusher/Plaid back to back at The Glade.

I stand by my choice.

I personally wouldn't go to see any of the popular big name acts, but then I am an iconoclast.

Was glorious, just not quite at the David Lean-widescreen level of the other three.

Bowie/Macca/Stones

Shakey/Stevie/Patti '15/Radiohead '97/Blur '09/Orbital '94/Portishead '13 etc just outside

Cohen '08 has to be up there too. 

[maelzoid]

Given the great wads of cash flying around, I wonder if Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd have received reformation offers...

[CaledonianGonzo]

They probably get them most days, tbf.

Yes, also add Pulp '95 and maybe Iggy '07 to that cadre.

And maybe Arthur Lee '03, even though I bloody missed it....

......(you hate Love dont you?) 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I missed all of these performances by seeing something more interesting on one of the smaller stages.  Unlike other people here, I tend not to follow the herd.

No. I saw him in '04 (??) up in the Acoustic. "You Set The Scene" is one of my favourite songs. Gorgeous stuff.

I'm loving Russys new "you think they're shit, right?" approach.

ah, that'll be me, most likely. Waters is unlistenable tosh of the first degree.

[russycarps]

I'm all over the place here. Someone that posts regularly definitely hates roger waters and love! I'm sure of it!
