The Bootleg Beatles

[Langdale Wolf]

Personally, I'd love to see them play earlyish on the Pyramid Stage, or maybe early evening in the Acoustic Tent?

Just don't let them headline anywhere on the Friday night because I don't want to miss U2.

Wonderful stuff.

Somehow I stumbled across the end of the gig in the acoutsic tent in 2007(?) after some mindless wandering. It was utterly majestic!

[godders1966]

Well worth watching.

I saw them supporting Oasis at Knebworth in 1996, (along with The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers) - What a great day that was!

[Mel & Claire]

Excellent! Here's hoping for The Bjorn Again slot...

[drewsstrat]

Saw them recently and they were superb; Sound and visuals - Jazz or Pyramid would be nice tea-timish

[toffeeal68]

They were amazing in 2007 along with 10 of my mates we missed the who to see them and it was superb saw them last year in Halifax and great again with all the costumer changes did 2 or 3 songs from each album through the decade fantastic!!!!

I thought maybe acoustic headline again but like the idea of first up on the pyramid

[Mr Ploppy]

Class!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Fairly sure they were either first or second on the non-Pyramidal Pyramid Stage on the Sunday way back in 1995.

Certainly helped cure a particularly nasty hangover that day.

This'll be great, last year they were playing Beatles songs at the wine bar and that was amazing, so this'll be so so good.

This made me really happy, can't wait to have a few drinks and have a dance to them.

I saw them in the acoustic tent in 2007. They were fantastic. I hope they play the acoustic tent but that will probably mean a headline slot and a clash with U2 and that might make things difficult. What about putting them on before U2. The sunset and thousands singing along to Beatles classics. The atmosphere would be marvellous.

Somebody said better than Macca. Musically absolutely so, but for me the Macca headline set choked me up. I got very emotional. Everything I know about music basically started with them when I was very young. Lennon may have been cool but McCartney had the songs and that gig was all about the music and the history of music as we know it. The in between song banter however was very painful.

Lennon the majority wrote their best songs, at least the ones I like most (although Harrison also wrote a few of those). McCartney wrote an awful lot of their dross with some gems.

[Chazeboy]

super news, still think Coldplay are opening festival on Fri, but if ti turns out to be them on Saturday morning, then Bootlegs will open

[russycarps]

Problem with McCartney is that as soon as he went solo and John and George were no longer there to hold his hand. his output became utter utter shite.

Whereas John Lennon and George Harrisons solo work were fantastic.

Go figure.

His 2004 headline slot was tarnished for me by the amount of solo stuff he played, his appalling banter and that terrible haircut and dress sense.

[Wooderson]

Its really only the banter that annoys me. Its almost like he tries to be as insincere as possible, he doesnt I dont think, it just comes out that way.

Saw him in Dublin before Christmas, someone must have pulled him up about it because the banter has improved somewhat.

[russycarps]

well whatever anyone says about McCartney (and I dislike the man, he appearance on X-factor and his endorsement of that awful rockstar computer game thing being the final nails in his coffin), his bellendness doesnt come anywhere close to the levels of ringo starr.

The phrase utter utter helmet was invented for that turd.
