Well his set this year sounded great (even thoughI couldn't actually see him) and I hope he'll be just as good in Manchester this Tuesday. Mayve next year will be a reunion of the Kinks on one of the stages?

Ray Davies was one of my festival highlights this year. fantastic atmosphere, people were still singing lola afterwards all the way down the hill !

[tevaburger]

it was a touch choice btw him and Neil Young on the pyramid and i went for NYoung, who was brilliant, but i hear that davies was similarily brilliant up on the hill. 'twas my biggest clash of '09 (and missing Doves too at the same time) but i have never liked some of the sightlines to the acoustic stage, as unless you are right up front and center it can be hard to see much, so happy i stuck to pyramid where it was easy to get inside the front barrier post-Specials.

would be nice if they brought back Ray Davies again next year and put him up on the pyramid. haven't seen him since... The Kinks at Kentish Town and Country Club June 1988.

just came back from seeing him at the cambridge corn exchange tonight, was good but not a patch on the glasto performance. Something special happened that night.

There was no Lola last night in Manchester either (2 encores though), but it was a brilliant set, he was on good form, chatting & joking with the audience & playing around with the numbers, including a great Johnny Cash impersenation during Sunny Afternoon(!) and a funny blues improv about his CD that got given away with the Mail earlier on this year.

He made this rather interesting comment:

"There's a rumour going round that The Kinks are reforming....

....it's true....

....it is a rumour"

Still, he mentioned his brother and the band quite fondly a few times, so you never know...

Ray Davies is playing on the Sunday, I think in the Acoustic Tent (perhaps even the headliner).

This is great news - he was amazing last year.

Pretty gutted if he clashes with Stevie though.

[Langdale Wolf]

Fantastic - but PLEASE don't clash with Stevie!!!

2nd from the top would be brilliant, then a quick sprint to the Pyramid for Stevie.

Great news though.

[dan8k]

great start to the day, cheers Neil.

Neil Young on the pyramid

Q.Tip on the jazzworld

Animal Collective on the park

Ray on the acoustic

[Tugger2k]
