CaledonianGonzo Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Though as Radiohead's set went on it also had a similar transformative effect on the Pyramid field. Edited April 17, 2018 by CaledonianGonzo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some [not me] may even consider 2016 a write-off given the weather, which made enjoying some sets difficult. You just have to get on with it when the weather is bad. The plus side was that a lot of the difficult areas to get to due to mud were empty. The great food places in the markets had no queues, kedgeree, fish curry, coffee, smokehouse etc, it was easy to get a good spot in West Holts, Avalon Bar wasn't as busy etc. Anyway when was the last "classic" headline set at the festival? One that will be remembered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nal Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Yeah probably Delly Welly and then before that The Stones. Could've been Kanye but nah. Crowd was too small for Metallica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Don't think I'm alone on this forum thinking the Radiohead show last year was something utterly beguiling and transcendent. Just thinking there about the opening to "Everything in its Right Place" has given me the shivers. Take me back. Now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyT Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 I've said it before and i'll say it again... that Stevie Wonder set was the best I've seen at the festival in my 11 years of going. Up until last year 2010 was the best weather i'd experienced on the farm and I think Stevie coupled with the weather just made that Sunday night euphoric. The atmosphere was incredible.

CaledonianGonzo Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 If you watch the clip the crowd is pretty decent for the circumstances. Syrian Lads - Christine & The Queens -Dakha - Vince - ZZ Top - Ronnie Spector - Stormzy - Nao - Protoje is a good day's work in my book.

Or the tens of thousands who didn't go in 2008 as a result of 2007. Weather was hardly ideal in 2016 but it only rained once or twice during the day time. Was just mud really. But we're well used to that by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now. but 03 and 97 were the standard bearers for them, so no surprise a lot on this forum participated in a knockout tourney of some sort that someone started a thread on - who was it? - a decade back maybe, and their '03 set beat out Macca's 04 much to the chagrin of the poll-creator... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
