...which performances do you think they'd put on it? Say there was 15 performances.

I reckon we'd see:

Muse - 2006

NIN - 2007

Metallica - 2008

Nirvana - 1992

Green Day - 2001

New Order - 1998

Radiohead - 1994

Oasis - 2000

Pixies - 2005

The Strokes - 2001/2002

Arcade Fire - 2007

Blur - 1999

Manics - 1992

RATM - 2000

SOAD - 2003

Manics 1992 :P

Possibly one of the most energetic and generally amazing performances I have seen! When James spits at the audience in Motown Junk it really emphasises their utter contempt for the world. I could watch those videos forever.

1998 - Prodigy (Smack my bitch up)

1999 - R.H.C.P - (Sir psycho sexy)

2000 - Primal Scream (Higher than the Sun)

2001 - Q.O.T.S.A (Regular John)

2002 - Jane's Addition (Three Days)

2003 - Metallica (For whom the bell tolls)

2004 - Morrissey (How soon is now)

2005 - Pixies (Gouge away)

2006 - Pearl Jam (Chloe dancer/ Crown of thorns)

2007 - N.I.N (Sin)

2008 - R.A.TM (Know your enemy)

To fill it up I would use footage from bands on smaller stages that later would become much bigger/legendary. Such as:

1999 - Muse (Sunburn)

2000 - At The Drive In (One armed scissor)

2002 - Interpol (Obstacle 1)

With it being a Reading DVD they wouldn't be able to use NIN's Sin, as they didn't do it at Reading :rolleyes:

My choice would definitely be Hurt. Or Head Like A Hole. Probably Hurt though.

Oh yeah, and Jay-Z id dpull ouit in 2003 - his slot was filled by The Darkness.

As for the DVD, Arcade Fire in the R1 Tent in 2005 (if there was any footage filmed) would surely take precedence over their 2007 main stage set.

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
