The Streets?

[gooner1990]

Have Skinner and co played before? Seem em at Reading a good 3 or 4 times over the years, also caught them at Exit fest a couple of years back. They really get the crowd going, and have a good enough back catalogue now to do a decent set.

New album due out early next year too.........

Maybe 2nd or 3rd top on the Other Stage..would be perfect when the sun is just setting on the friday night with a big fatty on the go!!

[plaskins]

they played this year, lol

[gooner1990]

Did they ?! oops!! nevermind then!!

They headlined Jazzworld on Friday night.. Can't see them coming back so soon. Neil Young had my attention that evening - so I also missed them.

Just checked wikipedia, it appears that the specials were on at the same time so that's probably why I didn't see them either.

Ho hum.

I caught most of their set at the Jazzworld and was pretty unimpressed, but that was probably mostly because it was so rammed with young people escaping NY .

Can't see them returning in 2010.

Nah Q-Tip headlined the Friday, Streets were before him I think

They were !

I thought The Streets were very good , but it did not seem loud enough , but then perhaps we should not

have stood within 50 feet of the Brothers Bar for ease of replenishment.

I love the Streets, but it was not their best show by a long way. They did a cover of Billie Jean in the middle of the set that went down well.

I still managed to cry a river to Never went to church and The edge of a cliff much to the shame of my very embarrassed mate.

[festiking]

They were very good in my opinion.

I thought they were very entertaining and the MJ tribute was very well rec'd.

Can remember the soundtrack of that afternoon/evening (whatever it was....!) very well, sort of....

All I remember is chillin out at the back of Jazzworld, singing and err.....dad-dancing, with my fiancee and also chatting to some very nice, random, and never-to-be-seen-ever-again people.

Oh, and drinking copious Brothers.

[sufcmatt]

I was there!

I can remember having long arm drinking contests

and drowning myself before they came on.

ooops! The Streets were class.

Got slightly annoying how Mike Skinner kept asking

CAN YOU SEE ME?

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

but still very very goood.

Anyone got a decent video of billie jean?

[let's 'ave it!!!]

Was halirious when he said 'the security are all on drugs!!'

[Mardy]

Good band, I like em a lot. Doubt they'll play again, but it'd be good

[rexclark]

I'd be more than happy to see them again but I very much doubt they'll be about next summer.

saw most of their set this year as friends wanted to see them and they were surprisingly ok, which i liked as the other 2 or 3 times i've seen them they were f**king diabolical!

The Streets - Billie Jean Glasto

Must say, one of my fave 2009 moments

i saw the streets this year and really enjoyed it. i think that's the 3rd time i've seen him, always at festivals, and i've never been disappointed. a pleasant way to spend an hour.

[rexclark]

Actually, his fifth and final album is due out February 2010, so I'd expect a tour to go along with it

Possibly the last tour too though, as he's said he's a bit sick of it all and Computers and Blues will be his last.

Whether that tour will include Glastonbury is another matter, but I'd love to see them bumped up from 2nd JW to 2nd Other, underneath Dizzee perhaps?

Would also go down well in an afternoon Pyramid slot I reckon

[SkyCherry]

I've seen them a couple of times now, and thought they were great on the Jazz world this year
