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

Come people own up for fucks sake.

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

Agree with that on nearly anything post The Wall.

Who's the rotter that hates Love then? Maybe it was tony

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

 

Blur, Macca and the Stones for me.

Special mention to Muse 04, they were immense that night. Although the memory has been tainted by the parody act they would go on to become.

Fletcher Memorial home is a great tune.

Yep, I had to listen to that album the other day to cleanse my mind of the new pj harvey lyrics

Macca at Bonnaroo in 2013 was probably the best headliner at any fest I've ever seen. He was truly spectacular.

9 years after him playing a festival set was a rare occurrence...

I would go and enjoy it given the chance.

Everyone's raving as they are on the same bill but Glastonbury have had all of them play before. Of those 6 I have seen Stones/Young/Waters & The Who at Glastonbury. Macca also played while I was there but I had no interest in seeing him. 

 

because anyone would look back and be happy they saw Basement Jaxx or Sister Sledge instead right....

I think Russy mentioned it, but that was indeed a dreadful Macca sub choice (Black Eyed Peas) we had to stand thru 15 mins of to get a good spot. I remember on these here forums some joker was posting that he had word that U2 were going to be the band on before, having seen t-shirts being printed up, etc...in hindsight, what a c*nt

agreed Wooderson, that Stones and Macca will be 2 of the sets that will be recalled as the legendary big historic set successes on Worthy Farm

still can't see why anyone would slag off this lineup though. could be the final gigs ever for 2 bands there, at same weekend. and it will probably be an easier ticket to get than Glastonbury is. Americans of that age aren't too comfortable standing up at outdoor festival type venues, they'd rather watch on pay-per-view at home. could be a decent chance of getting a ticket if tix aren't outrageusly above normal Coachella priced tix.

The smell of piss will be overwhelming even without people throwing it

[O'Doyle Rules]

Prince dying makes this gig more important to me!

This starts today 

 

[Wooderson]

Any reason why the music finishes at 7pm each day in N'Awlins.

[Wooderson]

Also, Stevie/Snoop/Beck/Buddy all clash 1:1 next Saturday. Nothing to see here.

Where do Pearl Jam fit into a jazz festival?

So everyone can head into the city and go bananas. Lots of the acts pop up in small clubs etc. Goes on till the early hours.

Its down to a curfew really. Its a residential part of the city. I'd love it. The entire city turns into a music festival after dark.

Am I the only one who looks at that line up and wouldn't go to any of the obvious bands but would instead choose the smaller, more interesting stuff on the other stages?

I'd be more interested in some of the artisan food stalls and local art. Love hearing from jewellery vendors about how they filled a locket with childrens tears after Hurricane Katrina.

I planning to spend the whole five days of GF in the solar cinema in the Green Fields. That's where the truly interesting stuff is.

similar arrangement at another of the more famed US events w/ a bit of history, Newport Folk Festival, where it cuts off about 7 or 8. and that site is off by itself, away from centre...baffling, especially as it shortens the sets of the bigger acts too.

Some of those rich old dudes have been touring on stop for years and are still putting out more material than any of the current crop. Dylans last album was number 1 in the UK for example. Neilers new album will be his 10th in 10 years. Maccas last album was a belter etc.

To be clear Nal, I'm a big fan of all of their music it just makes me sad that lots of fans are priced out of live music, particullally when it comes to acts of this size. Getting them all on the same bill is a amazing.....the cynic in me however, suspects that it will come with an amazingly sized price tag that many folks just won't be able to afford.

I'm 99% sure the reason why The Stones were so good at Glasto is because they were playing to and feeding off an electric crowd who were thrilled to be seeing them.....rather than rows of people with fat wallets (not that well off people can't be music fans of course). It would be nice If these legendary acts weren't so expensive to see. As has been proved a few times this year there will only be finate chances left to see them.

FYI "Clinging to their top spot" was more a meditation on the industry then the bands themselves. Probably unfairly worded

[CaledonianGonzo]

Can confirm that the atmosphere for the Stones at the G was about a megawatt more electric than at their own Hyde Park show 7 days later.
