Yeah that's the one, sorry, my mind isn't with it today!

[BlackHole2006]

No need to apologise. I just like to take every opportunity to post that video. Not just on this site either

Just watching a BBC Four programme called Nile Rogers: The Hitmaker, really enjoyable. Well worth catching on on BBC iPlayer if you have missed it, should be available for another week.

Just listening to Bowie's Let's Dance, utter genius. That full album version of the title track is epic.

Have now convinced myself that Bowie will be making a special guest appearance

[bigjontour]

i watched the HItmaker programme mentioned a few posts back last night on bbc4. It was superb.

i wasnt really aware of Chic or Nile's work until seeing them last year at Parklife festival in manchester, to say i was impressed would be the understatement of the year!!

Don't even go there sonny jim, get out while you can. For a while I was in that dark place of speculation but I gave myself a reality check by the method of slapping myself round the face with a wet fish and now I know it's 100% definitely not going to happen. But let's imagine for a second, the sheer explosion of absolute chaos of everyone losing their shit as he strides on stage and sings those two opening lines...

Besides, Bowie would be too busy getting himself pumped up for his appearance with Jagger the night after... what's that song called again?

[BlackHole2006]

My shit would be lost by the time he reaches: "red shoes". Once reason why it won't happen is if he does turn up on the Friday night, there would be such a buzz and expectation of him also singing on the Saturday night, that the Pyramid field would be over-full, but we can all dream under the serious moon.

Finally got round to watching the BBC4 documentary - amazing viewing. One thing, though. Any possibility that Stevie Winwood plays before Bill Wyman so he can get up and do "Higher Love" with Nile?

[Wooderson]

Good chance of Marr playing with Rodgers but I'd be shocked if anyone else did. I also hopes he ropes in some of his better vocalists for this tour. Kimberly Davis for example. That girl can HOLLA. She was with the band when I saw 'em in '09 prompting this post here.

[ghandi]

after watching that documentary my mind was made up. really didn't realise how many songs he'd written and produced. incredible. just hope i don't discover a Portishead documentary in the next few months to change my mind again

I too have seen Chic 3 times. Daughter is 2 1/2 and doesn't get to decide for at least ten years.

Listened to the live le freak album on way to work yesterday, will absolutely be there, brilliant, time for a boogie

[bigjontour]

i think there is a purposeful lack of big headline choices on sunday so as to fill the pyramid stage so it looks good on tv for mumford, and not receive extra criticism for the booking? i think chic would be a crowd nightmare if they were on sunday!

[FunkyDenz]

Chic are perfectly placed for Friday night, an amazing party atmosphere on the first proper night when everyone has energy to dance dance dance (yowsah, yowsah, yowsah). Move Portishead to the Sunday.

[MEGABOWL]

I agree completely with this thinking. Although Portishead closing your festival would be very melancholy.
