eFestivals Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 The difference is Neil that they were actually AT the gig! Nobody is doubting what you heard from people or read. Just your opinion of the gig. now, perhaps not. At the time, HUGELY!!!! It only became the big "Neil hates Bruce" thing off the back of me having to stand my ground over some of the comments coming back at me from what I said. If people had accepted what I'd said then we defo wouldn't be here now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 the whole episode has obviously traumatised you. I have a couple of phone numbers for people who might be able to help you through this difficult time. PM me if you need them the whole episode has merely demonstrated yet again that fan-boys are not the most objective. If anyone is traumatised, it's you, unable to accept that rather straight forwards idea, of people with vested interested being biased.

AcademicPistol Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Yeah, posted this yesterday The Who announced a new US tour today. Massive tour. November to February. Just saying. Although having just watched it, Pete says festivals would be "difficult" but they'd love to do it. He takes the right piss out of Madonna too at 36 mins 30ish http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-2IyrVCjIc&feature=youtu.be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Yeah cheers, I know there are touring but i wondered if they seemed likely for Glasto next year. Edited July 20, 2012 by The Nal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidy Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) i think oldies like the who for e.g wont play glasto again ,it seems to be a one off same goes for macartney ,they`ve played they did ok end of story. the only oldie i`d like to return is bowie but cant see that happening but i doubt it would be as good as 2000 . as for oldies who havent played yet lets have fleetwood mac and simon and garfunkel. does piss me off a bit that so called legends leave it late in there career and are well past they`re best before they play glasto tho.

Ed209 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Although I think Neil Young and Stevie Wonder demonstrated that they are still as good as they ever were. It always amazes me that Stevie is into his sixties now but sings and plays like he was 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Neil, Stevie and - yes - Bruce are examples of those either in or approaching pensionable age who're still as great as you want them to be. As would L. Cohen. The Stones are admittedly a shonkier prospect, but with guests in tow to cover up Keith's post-accident'n'arthritis deterorioration in ability and the right setlist they could still bow out with dignity intact. I find the fact that Taylor and Wyman have been rehearsing with them encouraging in that regard. It's a sign that Keith knows he can't do it anymore. Have him bashing away on an acoustic and with (a hopefully sober) Ronnie doing the heavy lifting and Mick T. adding some lead here and there and it'd still be a grand old night.

CaledonianGonzo Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Charlie aside, I find Mick far and away the most reliable man on the field. Compared to his form mid to late 1970s, he's been on the money every time I've seen him recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamber Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I think that's live singing over a precorded backing track... so doesn't count and anyway, that song is such pish, with Jagger at his very worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 The live version of Midnight Rambler released recently on the Brussels Affair bootleg is, frankly, awesome: http://www.stonesarchive.com/bootleg_years/1973/ Mick's live singing these days is far better than it was in the period 1975 - 1980 or so when he was still on the coke.

MEGABOWL Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) Wouldn't someone more dancey be up against The Roses on the other stage? Edited July 22, 2012 by MEGABOWL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza_20 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Would make sense, though at least Bon Iver are more contemporary. It could even be a pop act, a Plan B or Example. I like the inclusion of Frank Ocean too, given recent events. Would be very Glastonbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza_20 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 oh yeah, frank ocean would not be bad. Plan B I'd suggest but he's listed on here on R for Pyramid, doesn't mean it will be and won't change but it makes me think whatever has linked to that addition on rumors is enough. Either would work below, but not sure someone who supported them would want to clash? I'd see Bon Iver playing either 2nd/3rd below Radiohead or clashing with GaGa or The Stones? And The Black Keys for me would be the headline on other in the place that Bon wasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
