Yep never say never, my feeling is based on nothing at all just a hunch really.

Part of me wishes macca would come back, part of me hopes he never does...it's a tough one. I get goosebumps thinking about some of that set (opening notes to all my loving a few songs in was an amazing moment. I think it was then it hit me that we were seeing a beatle playing at glastonbury) but then I do think what he could have played and how with the right setlist it would be the greatest thing ever seen at glastonbury...would have loved for him to have finished that set with the abbey road medley like he has been recently

I reckon his voice is fine

[russycarps]

oof lovely stuff, I'll watch that the second I get home.

I watch the blackbird glastonbury video at least once a week

Macca in '04 has gotta be in the top half dozen shows the festival has ever seen.

One of those few instances where there is that unique communion in Michael's field. Where, although there is this surging overwhelming feeling of togetherness, there is also that inner sense of distance/otherness. A unique catharsis or healing that can only be experienced yourself. The basis for it or benefits from it can't be articulated.

Kryptonite to cynics.

[Wooderson]

Unless you can articulate it I doubt the cynics are going to be won over.

Is it possible that McCartney could have won over someone who was initially cynical to his attendance/worth through his performance?

[mrtourette]

Anything's possible, I find it odd that you'd need to ask that question.

Lemme answer for you, mmkay?

You are a troll.

[mrtourette]

Because the "kryptonite to cynics" was an oddly hyperbolic statement and I'd imagine there were many who weren't won over, and given that you said that it was good without being wble to explain why then those who weren't won over are unlikely to understand what was so good about it.

I understand your anger and frustration that you missed it, I'd be the same

Was far better at Isle of Wight. Delivered the hit-filled headline set he probably should have at Glasto. I think he now 'gets' festivals so would likely do a better job this time round if he got the nod.

[SonOfTroyMcClure]

also anyone who doesn't want to see Springsteen DOESN'T DESERVE A TICKET.

[eFestivals]

Come the revolution, anyone who does want a Springsteen ticket will be first against the wall.

[russycarps]

I think I'd rather watch The Stones than McCartney.

[The Nal]

I've seen both and can safely say you are mental.

Unless you mean a 1970s stones v a 1960s beatles.......now that is a tough one

[russycarps]

No its not. The Beatles never put a classic concert on in their lives. Theres no classic "Beatles Live at...." album. And their gigs last 30 minutes. "25 if we didn't like it, we played it fast" according to Ringo. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure seeing the Beatles was fucking great. But it was just that - "seeing" the Beatles.

And it wasn't their fault either. Shitty PAs, screaming girls. They were the genesis of big stadium gigs.

Always such a shame they never toured from around 1968 with Billy Preston?! Now that was a live band. Imagine if they headlined Woodstock?!

Didn't think he was gash at all.

[The Nal]

despite that I reckon I'd still pick the beatles. And I'd be down the front screaming my heart out
