most disappointing performance at glasto

[ramragon]

KOL are one of my favourite bands but they most definitely haven't got better since 2004!

[Langdale Wolf]

Also - I thought the Pigeon Detectives were AMAZING in 2007 in the JP - a brilliant, high energy performance. I loved it.

But on the Other Stage in 2008, they seemed to have lost a lot of their spark - and I thought Emergency was a rubbish follow up album.

Not interested in seeing them again, sadly.

[Block of Mud]

Cold War Kids 2007

[BlackHole2006]

The Prodigy last year.

[sifi]

Paul McCartney.

I thought Lady Gaga was going to be a fun guilty pleasure last year which I could enjoy while pretending I was just keeping my girlfriend company. As it turned out she was total gash and turned in one of the most cringeworthy live performances I've ever seen.

[worthyraver]

I would agree with several people above, Shaky was dire that green door that some people had brought in the crowd had more charisma.

Also probably more controversially I was very disappointed by Hot Chip on the Other Stage in 2008, perhaps it was the stage, not my favourite stage by a long way, but I just could not get into it at all. That said I am hoping that was a one off because I would very likely see them again this year, just on a different stage, although that seems unlikely.

[The Nal]

Paul McCartney.

Sorry, I was expecting a lot more from him.

i saw blur last year what exactley did the prodigy do to piss so many people off?

[The Nal]

Treated it as if it were just another gig in their tour. A bunch of 40 year old blokes shouting "COME ON MY f**kING WARRIORS" down a mic whilst attempting to dance does not appeal to me personally.

[Haggis]

Amy Winehouse, 2007 AND 2008 (when I thought she might have taken 2007 as a low point)

[Breeze]

Was wondering past when East 17 took to the stage last year which was 24 Carat dogshit - enough to make your toenails fall off.

But my money is on Sandi Thom to beat the worst ever Glasto performance this year with something truly suicide inducing.

Prodigy have been doing the same thing for so long that there was probably a certain hardcore up front loving the fact they were hearing the songs for the 40th time while everyone else had a dawning realisation that they were missing the gig of the year elsewhere.

[BlackHole2006]

Then why did you go? They've being doing that for 20 years!

For me it was New Order in 2005

Most people were pissed off that they played so much new stuff I thought?

[General Lee]

Fleet Foxes last year were a real letdown.

Thought we just needed the sun and it would be a match made in heaven.

We got the sun but unfortunately that was as good as it got!

[crashnburn]

I'm not sure what people were expecting, but I enjoyed Fleet Foxes, great voices, made a bit of banter that the crowd didn't 'get' at the start. I think that put them on edge a bit though and they didn't say much after that. But they played the songs really well.

They're a band that need to be properly 'listened' to. They might have been the wrong place on the Pyramid with people around me talking over the top of them in the quieter bits.

[Langdale Wolf]

Another one - MGMT in the JP in 2008.

They were horse manure.

[st00ka]

Primal Scream in the Dance Tent in 1997, absolutely dreadful, no change there then.

Your Dad was right. What did you expect to happen at a Prodigy gig. I saw them in Dublin in December and guess what? Yep - drunks everywhere. Loads of shouting from the band too.
