Posthumous Performance - Who?


Guest GEH007

Recommended Posts

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?

Jimi or Jefferson Airplane when Grace Slick still sang with them (I know she's still alive but not performing any more so does that count?)

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.

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 :)

    • Another one from Sheffield DocFest this weekend, Earth Wind & Fire docu, directed by Questlove. Sensational archive footage, contributions from band members, family, plus a lot of very big fans (Stevie, Lionel, Flea, the Obamas) and a warts n all assessment of the genius / flawed human being that was Maurice White. Also, I never realised he started out as a jazz drummer with Ramsay Lewis. Well worth a watch.
    • In a 6,800-word Substack essay, external, the Clacton MP said "anti-white racism was embedded into the state", and that legislation aimed at equality was a form of "social cleansing"   .https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdjkd4mp93zo   The privileged white c**t hasn’t got a clue what racism is. 
    • BBC iPlayer: Will serve as the main hub for past sets, including both recent hits and iconic archival gems. You can explore the BBC iPlayer to watch curated compilations, "Best of Glastonbury" recaps, and on-demand replays of historic headline performances.

[1] Radio & BBC Sounds: Pop-up Glastonbury radio stations on BBC Sounds will feature non-stop coverage, including exclusive mixes and huge sets from past years
    • Got HBO Max to watch football so watched One Battle After Another which is a great film and deserves its awards and then rewatched Magnolia and that is a flipping amazing film...so much in it. (also rewatching Angels In America series which is also amazing).
