    Only just got round to listening to the new Yard Act and think it's great. Think they've really improved since The Overload, better storytelling and the music's gotten more disco-y and Talking Heads inspired. Really looking forward to seeing them this year, didn't manage to catch them in 2022.

     


    I particularly enjoy the ‘listening to Grammatics’ line. What a band they were!

    Basically - you've misremembered a light-hearted comment that Michael made referencing a concert in Russia that Macca had played the week before.

     

    Nothing you mention even comes close to being knowingly dishonest.


    Or a few press contacts saying he’s a ‘mad old farmer who sometimes gets carried away’. You’re taking a tongue-in-cheek comment a bit too seriously. Nothing malicious in what he’s said over the years - just a bit of overexcitement, which is why we love them both!

    Not really.

     

    Unless you count Michaels traditional "best festival ever" statement that he used to make every year, but I'd just call that hyperbole rather than anything more.


    Helicopters controlling the weather is one I always remember from the early 2000s (maybe when Macca played?), the biggest headliners ever  being booked for two years’ time etc although contracts etc are difficult!

  4. Seen a couple of early to mid-noughties favourites add shows at a local grassroots venue but tickets are over £30. I understand (and support the fact) that bands need paying but is this now the going rate for small local venues?

    That's outrageous to be honest I think. I know inflation but when those albums wre touring originally, they were £20/25 gigs.

    Nah, Blackened Sky was £6 at Aldershot West End Centre in 2002 - or free when they played with Vex Red and Reuben.
