Chilled out stuff but nothing to really grab me. Pretty good, although I could have done without one or two of the lengthy free-jazz interludes. Beautiful when it all came back together though. His voice and dress-sense were both great too. I was worried I was going to have to leave Moonlandingz early for it, which would have been the wrong decision - Moonlandingz were ideal - possibly the best thing I saw on Sat.

Fair enough at the Pyramid in a mega-crowd, but WH always has space further forward. In hindsight I would have, but it would have been an effort. When Avalanches were announced as making their festival debut, my immediate reaction (to the poor sound) was that their sound engineer wasn't up to a big gig. If I knew that pushing forward would have made all the difference, I might have done it. Plus, we were waiting for someone and rapidly losing any desire to stay there. It would have taken a great deal of will and faith in the sound to improve to blah a whole group to shove through an already dense crowd in the hope of improvement. It's not like when you're side on at Other and you just need to shuffle to the centre. This would have been a right old 'elbows out' escapade, with no evidence of the dramatic improvement that has been reported. Ah, hindsight.

Amy Lawn Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Highlight of the weekend for me. Sounded perfect for me as well, but it was literally the only thing of the weekend on WH where the sound wasn't an issue mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeeroo Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Didn't notice sound issues. I was a few rows back in line with the left screen. Same place for Kate Tempest was fine too but then wasn't for Paak. Avalanches were tonnes of fun. Shame it wasn't recorded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Lawn Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 The fucking righteous Frankie Sinatra seguing into Guns Of Brixton performance can never again be viewed by human eyes.

Time Being Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 This was a real highlight for us. Wasn't expecting so much of the show to be live, the vocals etc, was sort of expecting a dj'd mashup sort of a thing. Had a great time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keithy Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Saw them in Bristol on Glasto Eve and they were incredible. Wasn't planning to see them again at Glastonbury but were so good in Bristol, I really wanted to see them at West Holts and they didn't disappoint.

Rat Boy, who I think is pretty good, was next on the bill, unknown to me, so can't really complain all in.

Simpo Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) With Avalanches' latest album We Will Always Love You being a bit of deeper experience than Wildflower, it seems apt that they've gone back to more of a DJ set live show. And with them playing what I expect to be the sunset slot on the Park Saturday night, it could create a vibe like that of Jamie xx in 2015. However, they can be hit and miss, so it's tempting to have Saturday be the night I hang out with a big group of friends at the Pyramid, and ensure a good spot for Macca. They usually never allow themselves to be filmed, so here's a rare chance to see what we could be in for from Coachella:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWN3p6gtBi4 There's 20 minutes of footage if you go back to 6:52am, so back 6 and a half hours or so to catch it. Looks mint tbh. Edited April 16, 2022 by Simpo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
