Brit Floyd

[grumpyhack]

last year i gave the gorillaz the chance an gave up and walked up to the bootleg beatles and to be honest i got a bit of a bee in my bonet about watching a cover band at glastonbury but thats just my veiw of it but i will be giving "Brit floyd "a chance if just to hear wish you were here.

Had they not clashed with U2 and were on sunday night i would of seriously considered watching; I chose Bootleg beatles over Gorillaz last year and was not disapointed - a sing along from start to finish;-

Your getting as close to the real thing as you can get at glastonbury... you will never see the beatles, and very unlikely to see pink floyd, so if its your music then why not relive it in a great atmosphere amongst likeminded fans... Their both making a good living, people still want it, its fun, why not i say

A couple of points:

1) The acoustic stage (where i work behind) is badly named, poorly branded and very low key - publicity-wise. However... it is a full size tent with proper loud amps, electic pick-ups, bass guitars, full size drum kits, backing vocals and everything!

2) Last year I had to work from 4am on saturday so i went to bed around 11pm on friday. the electic mix of pyramid gorillaz PLUS the 5000+ croud belting our bootleg beatles songs was one of those "had to be there monments" in my ever so small tent.

I think Brit Floyd will be very very popular. Afterall, we are just a short stroll from the back of Morrissey et al.

DO NOT under estimate the power of the covers band to the masses!

I was very lucky as my two mates from Amsterdam spoke German so it saved a lot of hassle .

how about this to bring back memories

After watching the bootleg Beatles at glasto in 07 I wouldnt go to another cover band (however good) at the fest. They belted out the hits but I somehow felt cheated and if I could turn back time, I would go and watch the who, despite the torrential rain!

i still have a t-shirt, and video of this concert. i was well into floyd as a teenager, whilst my peers were into duran duran, madonna and the like. i never got to go to this concert :-( the ex did, but someone (guess who) had to stay home and look after the little uns (i started young ;-)). i'll be hoping to get somewhere near for this, as i've heard aussie floyd were a good tribute act (this being some sort of spin off) and i'm not fussed about missing u2.

Saw Brit Floyd las Sunday in Aberdeen and it was a very good show. Probably as close to the real thing as you're likely to get. Went to Bootleg Beatles last year at acoustic stage and place was rammed.

Wouldn't miss U2 at the Pyramid for the world nut if they're not your thing, Brit fLoyd well worth thinking about. Any other night I would have picked them but not over U2

But for U2 i would have there. Instead i am thinking of getting ticket to see them at the O2 London in August.

tempting, really like the look of the set, best bar in the place just outside. Hmmmm, but I am still left tossing a coin between U2 and Primal Scream TBH. If they come to Truro though, I might have to do it

I'm definitely considering giving the rest of the stages a miss to catch these guys. Right next to the late night area on-way entrance as well so it'll be a good option I reckon.

Anyone know what time the acoustic stage finishes? Is it before/after the Pyramid/Other?
