On another thread someone admittted of Toto: "I'd go and see them but not tell my friends."

Are there bands that really you'd like to see or have seen that you've not admitted to?

Time to confess your cheesy side.

Diana Ross & The Supremes :)

... is that a :D choice that anyone else dare not admit to?

I just love loads of that old Tamla Motown girlie stuff.

Now you've all been so honest I can add my own, having started this thread.

I saw Shirley Bassey in at her peak in Cardiff at the old Capitol Theatre (now demolished and replaced with a shopping centre). Someone gave me a freebie complimentary and I sat in the second row of the circle (her extended family including her mum took up most of the front row).

She was awesome and her stage presence was incredible. Non stop songs from one powerful gut wrencher straight into the next. She must have been physically and emotionally drained by the end.

It wasn an unforgettable concert but it was at a time when SB was really cheesy and not one to boast about.

She was only a shadow of her former self for her later years appearance at Glasto but that somehow made her acceptable.

Off the top of my head, over the years I've seen and enjoyed Starsailor, Keane and The Wombats at Glasto.

I'd just like to point out that I only saw Travis because my mrs was going on her own, though, and they really were sh1t! You have to draw the line somewhere....

    • I see, well even if they aren't on sale it's still not a disaster sales wise, it's not like they are struggling to sell a half capacity areana
    • Blue dot wouldn’t be a thing if Ticketmasters dynamic pricing went down as well as up, it proves that the dynamic pricing was just a scam to make more money rather than something that moved with the market supply/demand. 
    • I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.
    • MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.
    • Ultimately Glasto is just part of the festival circuit, however special we may think it is. The vast majority of its headliners have done many others
