Posthumous Performance - Who?

[GEH007]

So, who would you love to be able to see give a posthumous performance at Glastonbury from their pomp?

For me, many, many come to mind but I would love to have seen Nina Simone belt out Sinnerman to 100,000 plus; imagine that. 10 minutes of pure genius on the Pyramid stage. Yep, thats the one for me.

How about you guys, who and which track?

Jim Morrison!

I'd go for Joe Strummer and then half way through he would be joined by the Clash.

Or Bob Marley and the Wailers. That would be amazing.

[Mr Ploppy]

Oh right, didn't realise we could nominate a band.

Its gotta be The Beatles. :-) :-)

Without a shadow of a doubt it would be Bob Marley and the Wailers. I am still incredibly angry I'll never be able to see him.

But all the obvious ones really Jimi Hendrix, James Brown I would LOVE (I can't believe I never saw him). If we're allowed bands it would be Clash, Beatles, Love, SUBLIME.

Damn it I wish I was born 40 years earlier. I'm so jealous of my mum.

George Harrison, IMO the greatest Beatle of them all. Mr Eavis has said that one of his biggest Glastonbury regrets was not following up Georges desire to play the festival, just before he died.

Just imagine being played the likes of:

Taxman

Here comes the sun

Something

I me mine

My Sweet Lord

Got my mind set on you

While my guitar gently weeps

Etc etc etc
