Definitely investigate Springsteen's seventies bootleg releases if that's your jam.
-
Aren't you the guy that didn't go to Glastonbury this year but still wrote a letter of complaint to the festival about the crowds?
-
People may have been shoeing me in the baws at Woodstock 99, but at least I was able to feel something.
-
That's the problem with trying to compare good old days with other good old days. Someone can always Top Trump you.
-
None of these so called punk gigs or warehouse raves were as edgy as the premiere of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring in Paris 1913.
-
The ideal vibe for a gig is:
-
Dressing like Johnny Rotten in 1977 = edgy
-
I know the music is created in the moment - but YMMV on how much of a difference them waving their hands in the air makes to the overall experience.
-
Musicians. And they're reliant on plenty of spectacle in order to entertain the crowds that they muster.
-
Listen to the live album then 😀
-
They're not performers - which is the word I used. I've seen the Chemical Brothers live on the Other Stage.
-
If a performer isn't going to interact with crowd you might as well stay at home and listen to the record. One of the reasons that ELO d@bbed down in the Legends Slot is Jeff Lynne was too shy to do anything to gee up the crowd except give them the odd thumbs up.

The Smiths (and listening to bands with members you now despise)

Deliberate. Seems to be becoming accepted slang for those who - inadvertently or otherwise - seem to have a raging throbber for ensuring that the fash get an equal hearing in the 'marketplace of ideas'. -

In an amazing coincidence, I've just this very moment walked by freeze peach enthusiast Andrew Doyle on my way up to the Pleasance Courtyard. -

Don't worry - the Comedy Unleashed tour is flying the flag for the 'I'm just saying what we're all thinking' demographic. -
Eminem for the Legend Slot?
-
Someone confirmed recently shes been asked to play but turned it down due to not offering enough ££
-
Except for Butter by BTS, which is a belter.
-
The fact of her retirement doesn't dampen your expectations?
-
Something about the style of music - nostalgic, not too abrasive - suits the mood of the Sunday afternoon.
-
One of the main definitions of the legend slot is you couldn't really imagine the act playing anywhere else on the line up. The fact that Chic and Pulp both have and could easily show up elsewhere rules them out. Whereas acts like Cher, the Spice Girls, Duran Duran, Manilow, etc have no real other home on the line up.
-
In my mind Roachford is a legend and far more worthy of the legend slot than other so-called legends that they give the legends slot to. But I dont care cos I get my ticket for free.

What telly progs are you bingeing on?
CaledonianGonzo replied to Ayrshire Chris's topic in Discussions
Yeah - none of the turn up for a wee wave business for GP. My man went baws deep. Legendary stuff. Highlight was the attempt to edit together group hug with Scott and Charlene who obviously visited the set on a different day. -
Hasn't she already pretty much said that the mixed reception to Solar Power caught her out a bit and so she's already working hard on some new bangers.
-
Yeah - agreed. She's fine, good on her and all that but it largely leaves me cold. Went with the group to see her in the JPT and there's no doubt she totally smashed it - folk around me bawling their eyes out - but I still wasn't really drawn in.
