Neil Diamond

[matt2007]

Any chance, he did a great set a couple of years ago and is in the UK around that time

[ramragon]

cant see it happening, only a couple of years since he played and probably the only stage big enough for him and the anticipated crowd would be the pyramid.

[Atterz123]

there was a thread about this a few days/weeks ago. Legends spot has gon to Don Mclean, can't see it happening at all

[Vieuphoria]

no it hasnt. He is on the acoustic stage isn't he?

[Big Vern]

surely there's better alternatives to Neil Diamond who only played a couple of years ago?

[Boris]

I say more Neil!

... he didn't even do Love on the Rocks last time, therefore he has to come back!

That Jamaican fella doesn't want anything.

Neil D was great in 2008 so it would be great to have him back for a good old sing song in the afternoon .

if youve not seen it check out this dvd

Normally, it seems highly unlikely, as he would be the type of American legend who would only play once and never again, but...if you check youtube somewhere he did say in an interview after he played in 2008 that he would love to come back, sound problems and all. He may have just been trying to be polite, but it makes you wonder if he actually got the feel for the place and decided it was worth another go, despite the sound problems he had. On his website, the Glasto pyramid crowd is the first shot that comes up! saturday he's in dublin, so Friday would be nice in the Willie Nelson slot. I wasn't there in 2008, so I'd be quite thrilled to see him as i probably wouldn't normally pay up to see one of his normal gigs. I'd say there's a decent shout of this happening.

I found him a bit dull, to be honest. Am I right in thinking he rotated a classic song, then a new song, then a classic song?

The man's a fool anyway for telling his Bobness to "beat that" on the Last Waltz.

I'm not telling him how to do his job, it just seemed to the casual observer that it was a bit stop start.

The Bob section of tge last waltz is a different league.
