If they released a Reading DVD...

...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.

    • Tonight was a disgrace. There wasn't *that* much rain, and it wasn’t *that* windy. A festival of this size should be able to withstand some adverse weather without it bringing the whole circus to a standstill. And if it is true that part of a speaker on the Revolut stage fell…   As for the communication - announcing Massive Attack were playing at 12:30 and then nothing for over an hour while people waited in the rain. It’s laughable it really is.   If I said I’ll never come back again I’d be lying. The shambles of Barcelona 2022 and the disgrace of Madrid 2023 didn’t stop me, so this probably won’t either.   This festival gets so much wrong, but it is always saved by having such killer line-ups. It’s just a shame it treats the fans/customers/consumers like animals. Compare it to somewhere like Glastonbury and it’s worlds apart.
    • Yeah, I admit that a small part of me felt relieved when they announced that MA are canceled.. But on the positive side- got to see Florence Road afterall, and they were great
    • Glad I could take the €3 bus to Playa Catalunya! Hope y'all warm and dry up.
    • Taxi mafia running their usual scam.
