If they released a Reading DVD...

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

do you think they could do like the glastonbury dvd and show all the other stuff and not much bands?

Manics 1992

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.

Mate, how do you get the LastFM thing in your signature?

I've been trying for ages.

[KingOfTheRodeo]

It keeps saying my signature is too long

awww, I wish The Manics were still a shadow of thier former self. A bit dad rock these days, still pretty decent mind.

I dont think they can get away from that though, what are they late 30s/early 40s? you would look silly writing the same songs they did in there 20s! different outlook on life etc etc

[hearing_aid]

You have a false impression of the Manics my friend!

I saw them in Manchester in Dec 2007 they rocked big time, they are easily better than the majority of the indie bands of today.

symposium from a few years back when they went mental?

i wasn't there but have seen footage and it's pretty rock n' roll!

What I find weird is how there's no pro-footage on Youtube of any of the headliners from 2002 or 2005.

[mattyp]

and undoubtedly Arctic Monkeys in the Carling tent.

[virgilhilts]

Feeder 2002 in the Radio 1 tent for sure.. emotional 'comeback' gig.

[howlin_pete]

Jay-Z pulled out in 2003 did he not?

Edited April 16, 2009 by howlin_pete

[Jimmy789]

2004 - White Stripes

1999 - Blur / Chili Peppers

[Messi30]

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

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.

[Messi30]

ahh schoolboy error swap that for Wish then
