FuzzyDunlop Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 I saw the Prodigy that night... still never regretted it. It was what I needed at the time. I always found the love for the gig odd cos the people camping around us said they went to Blur and left. I spoke to someone a few years later (who became someone we now go to the festival with) - who did the same, he admitted he was worse for wear though. Then on here people gave the gig 5 stars.

Yokel Again Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 The Stones could have been the best ever, the start was incredible, as was the end. Bit it got a bit flabby in the middle. It was still amazing.... But... Blur were incredible. Very much a band from my youth who I never thought I'd see again, and at the time it did seem quite secret as to what it would be like, as I THINK they'd only done a couple of warm ups before. (How brave is that!). I remember being amazed at some of the younger folk near us in the crowd going mental for it to. When Damon sat down and cried - just amazing. Genuinely seemed like a 'reunion' for all the right reasons. Loved loved loved it. (second only to Bowie :-) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomicide Posted January 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Flabby? Setlist was almost perfection. Jumpin' Jack Flash It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (But I Like It) Paint It Black Gimme Shelter Factory (Glastonbury) Girl Wild Horses Doom and Gloom Can't You Hear Me Knocking (with Mick Taylor) Honky Tonk Women You Got the Silver Happy Miss You Midnight Rambler (with Mick Taylor) 2000 Light Years From Home Sympathy for the Devil Start Me Up Tumbling Dice Brown Sugar You Can't Always Get What You Want (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (with Mick Taylor) I suppose that 2000 Light Years From Home and Can't You Hear Me Knocking lost a few people around me but as a fan they were great to hear. If I'm being hyper critical (which is difficult when it's your favourite ever gig), for the sake of a festival crowd they could have also dropped Doom & Gloom (though it was the single out at the time) and You Got The Silver (though Keef always does two songs and apart from Happy, I don't know which others he sings on that you could say are well known). So swap out: 2000 Light Years - Get Off of My Cloud Can't You Hear Me Knocking - Shine A Light (with extended widdly bit for Mick Taylor) You Got The Silver - Sweet Virginia Doom & Gloom - Let's Spend the Night Together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was half way through, but remember watching Wild Horses from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) “Can’t You Hear Me” was superb. Rambler/Light Years could’ve been snipped. All the classic Glasters shows have bits you’d change. The Stones was a classic by Gimme Shelter. Bowie finished with I’m Afraid of Americans. Go figure.

Personally I lover Can't You Hear Me but Rambler was my favourite bit of the set, that ain't going anywhere. That and the lesser know "Turn the lights on, Patriiiiiick!" and "He lavs iiiiit!"

Too many on here have said how great it was for it to be wrong. I couldn't get a ticket for 2013. The stones didn't happen. It was James Corden's Glastonbury Carpool Karaoke, The Fast Food Rockers & Ed Sheeran who headlined... if my memory serves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohinever Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) Thing with The Stones was it was"The Stones at Glastonbury man" and something I'd dreamed of for years. And it was amazing, helped for me by an amazing supporting cast of Costello and Primal Scream. Was just a perfect evening. Blur on the other hand for me was totally unexpected. My missus wanted to see them, and we were down by the side of the soundstage. Always been an Oasis fan and not to bothered about Blur. They were absolutely mindblowing. It was helped by a really good crowd of young'uns next to us - felt very life affirming to have confirmed that the yout' weren't all hoody wearing w*nkers as was being made out at the time. I remember hearing people singing "Oh my baby" hours after the gig at random parts of the site. Was the perfect Glastonbury gig - great band at top of their game and an ace crowd who were all up for it. Good times.

We *hoped* it’d be ace like every headliner. By 5 songs in (Beetlebum?) it felt like the band had doused the entire crowd in catnip/petroleum/sherbet. When things dipped below *sheer bliss* it was to expose the audience to an emotional catharsis that only Glastonbury Festival can achieve. Only gig I’ve been to where grown men literally *burst* into tears of joy. Not me btw guv. I cried. A lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costello was boring and Scream were awful. Gillespie looked bored and spent the entire set getting the hump at the crowd for waiting for the Stones.

My mate was sick all over himself on the floor in front of his other half and kids and had to be led off at the end of Primal Scream and missed the Stones. He spent the night in Glasto A&E. We all tried to laugh at him while he was involuntarily redecorating his own clothing in front of his own progeny - but in truth it was just too tragic even for that. He's not been allowed back since by his mrs. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, he had exactly the same wobbly before Basement Jaxx in 2005 and had to be dragged off stage after, among other things. being a bit rude about Kylie getting cancer (if I recall correctly). So he had a while to get his head around the mechanics of a sub slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Talking of subs - Nick Cave proper nailed it before Blur and Madness were on form before that (I recall the sax player flying at one point). Prob not seen a triple-header run on the Pyramid since. Great end to the weekend in the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
