When Jokers Attack

Popped into the thread to say this.

Was loads of us trying and no luck. Someone did get through, got all details in then it kicked them out, saying sold out. Was also a couple of post code issues, despite them being correct, which was odd. Onto Sunday it is. Good luck everyone!

No standing tickets showing for springsteen murrayfield live nation presale

I hope the Springsteen Murrayfield gig doesn't have that front field nonsense. Are the days of his first come first served golden circle gone?

I didn't see much at the West Holts this year, only on the Saturday afternoon when I was there for Kikagaku Moyo, Brass Against, Black Midi and Yves Tumor. Kikagaku Moyo were an awesome way to start the day, kinda wish I picked up a t-shirt but couldn't be fucked waiting in the queue for ages. Brass Against were really good fun and hadn't heard them before Black Midi were good but seems like they divide opinion as a few of my mates were hating it and left. I will say, they were much better at Williams Green in 2019. Yves Tumor I only listened to briefly before glasto and sounded interesting so wanted to check him out. Totally loved it, lots of energy and he was in the crowd at the end of the gig with the guitarist.

They haven't played in Scotland since 2000.

Wow what an awesome set. Music Arcade is one of my favourite deep cuts and Danger Bird in the encore! Yeah I'm not sure what is happening in regards to touring as he stated earlier this year that there are no plans to tour due to covid, but with everyone back out there and making the money he may want to get out there next year. I think the most likely scenario would be for Lukas Nelson from POTR to fill in for Nils if he is busy with Bruce or just go out there again with POTR if Ralph and Billy aren't up for it. Although Neil isn't touring right now he isn't slowing down with releasing music from the archives. Every month there is something coming it seems - Toast was released on Friday, Noise & Flowers (POTR live album) coming next month and he is busy working on a lot more stuff such as the next volume of the archives. IF he is touring again I don't think he would do Glasto but who knows - he does what he wants when he wants. A Neil Young/Pearl Jam night at the Pyramid would be unreal. I was actually thinking to myself about an hour ago that Pearl Jam are gonna headline one year soon after smashing it at Hyde Park, and I selfishly want it as I still haven't seen them live.

One the best gigs I have ever seen and one of the best moments of my life. Headed right in after Haim and was like 10 rows back, surrounded by a group of friends and cool strangers, drinks flowing and lots of banter between Noel and Paul coming on stage which didn't make the wait feel long. I loved every single minute of the set and couldn't believe the time when it was over. It felt like an 90 minute set. I guess that's what happens when you are lost in the moment, watching one of the greatest songwriters of all time at the best place on earth. I've done every glasto since `09 and the only set that is close is The Stones in `13.

What a great set this was. Second best of the weekend behind Macca. The crowd was well into it and a fantastic selection of songs. Most of my pint of Carlsberg (which is terrible anyway) went all over the place at the intro to Maad City. I had a great view, just to the left next to the screen. I was hoping to get closer like I did for Macca but did not get there for Lorde ending like I hoped to.

Yeah it was credible. I'll need to meet up with at the next glasto and try get backstage haha.

On the Sunday night we made friends with this guy and took him to Strummerville but the music ended like 10 minutes after getting there. He really wanted to keep the night going and hear more music. So we ended up at The Park and decided we would take him for one last song. We walk past the HMS Sweet Charity and it's a big queue so wasn't looking good. He told us to follow him, so we go with up to the exit where two security guards are standing and says "I'm Carl Cox" and that we were with him. They told the three of us to just head in. We ended up there until the end down the front dancing. All time glasto moment.

Going to Macca's DJ set at the Underground Piano Bar.

I''ve een spinning Beatles records all day as just buzzing it is a week until I see him again. I'm planning on seeing Big Thief then heading straight down, I reckon I can still get a a decent spot arriving during Noel? I am willing to sacrifice the pit but in front of mixing desk area would do fine but will wait and see.
