Legends?

[Mardy]

Say it ain't so. Thought he was absolute gash Paul!

[Vieuphoria]

Aretha Franklin?

[jimmyt]

Aretha Franklin?

[The Nal]

Can she still do it? Probably not, but I'd be there to see it anyway.

[wosman]

I'll second Earth, Wind and Fire, would be incredible!

Aretha Franklin would be ace yeah.

The legends slot is a bit like a veterans march, every year their numbers get less, so no-one will march at all.

There's a diminishing number of people who can pull of the legends slot, you've got to be what?, successful for 40 years or so, have recorded proper big, famous sing along stuff that a whole field of 3 generations will know, it's a tricky slot for the bookers to fill well, I think. They've done a great job in the last few years, but realistically, who of that calibre is left?

(don't say Pearl Jam, please)

Not a huge number. Off the top of my head

Paul Simon

Aretha Franklin

Smokey Robinson

Dolly Parton

Yusuf Islam

Don McLean

Tom Petty

Journey

Santana

Tina Turner

Billy Joel

Lionel Richie

[jimmyt]

I thought we'd established the legend was going to be Don McLean a while ago - can't remember why but isn't he doing some shows over here at nearly the same time? Personally I'd love to see Carole King, ideally with my namesake James Taylor.

We need Earth Wind And Fire in the sun sunday afternoon dancing to boogie wonderland with a cider in hand. does not get any better

[4AssedMonkey]

Smokey Robinson is a good call. I'd make the effort to see him.

[Dunney77]

Clapton + Jeff beck

[Poliwhirl]

Clapton + Jeff beck

[Mardy]

While I can't stand Clapton and/or Beck's music, I have a soft spot for Beck ever since I saw him interviewed and realised that he is Nigel Tufnel

[The Nal]

[Mardy]

Why not? Its just blues really, honky blues, granted. But Jeff Beck is an unbelievable guitar player. Like top 3 ever standard.

[Wooderson]

never even had a teenage axe hero phase

[The Nal]

Understand the talent, appreciate there's an enormous amount of skill there, just that type of musicianship doesn't get me, you know. It's a gut response, it doesn't grab me by the bollocks and swing me around the room, I'm afraid. Never has, never even had a teenage axe hero phase

[Mardy]

Hendrix?

[Mardy]

I know what you mean yeah, doesnt do it for me really either (the w*nky guitar stuff) but some of it does. Im not a massive fan of either tbh, would listen to them in the car or anything but Id like to see Beck live, West Holts, sunset slot.

[brian griffin]

stop fooking around and get billy joel on...!

[Wooderson]

Big blind spot in my musical education, You know, I don't even own any Hendrix, I think. Might rectify that this weekend.
