i saw the Yes set. They were actually slotted for a full 2-hr slot in the mid afternoon (check your program if you don't believe me) but some shite act before them went way over, and instead of playing the full set, they only did about an hour

Just enjoyed 15 minutes working out when I saw them, Signals Tour, Wembley Arena, May 1983, ticket is on the wall in the downstairs loo :) I'd love a bit of Rush, it's been a long time!

Ivan - my first thought was that I went to NEC, we moved house around that time so I had to check the ticket stub. I I found a whole load of old stubs a few years ago, unfortunately I have been less OCD in the last few years, at least I was able to check that one. The setlist looks amazing, lost the link now but I am sure you can find it. Would be fun next June.

Cheers, NS

Ivan, That would be amazing. Apart from about 3 tracks that are on my MP3 player I can't remember the last time I listened to Rush, but reading the setlist I could remember pretty much the whole set!

Do you need physical address or e-mail address? I can PM whichever to you. Cheers, NS

That's inspired, the bit when he's on about the drum solo is hilarious (if you know Rush of course)

I was at the NEC when A Show of Hands was recorded, it would amazing to have them at Glasto, just can't see it somehow though, I think Download or Sonisphere would be more likely....

I personally think they may be nailed for High Voltage if it takes place again next year. They would have plenty of room for a headline set and have the perfect prog friendly audience - much more so than at Download or Sonisphere. I'd love to see them at Glastonbury but I really question how many of the audience would even have heard of them. A headline slot is never going to happen - it might have in the early years but not anymore. Think of the number of classic prog bands that are still going strong. Have any of them ever been booked since the mid 80's? Very few spring to mind - Curved Air, Space Ritual and a few others. High Voltage had STACKS of them on a deadicated stage - Asia, Marillion, Steve Hackett, Uriah Heep, Magnum, Argent, Focus, Wishbone Ash- and there was even more prog orientated music on the two larger stages (ELP and Opeth being the most obvious).It was seriously good but the only band at High Voltage that has ever played Glastonbury is Marillion (when Fish was still fronting them).

As with many here I'd love it to be true but can't see it somehow. West Holts would be the only place I could imagine them being put on.

Although Yes was one of my highlights of Glasto 03 it was very much a "golden oldies" show - Rush will have a new album to promote and so will probably major on that, so it would be very much for the continuing fans rather than those hoping for a 20-minute extended version of By-Tor.

    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
