The Chic Excitmenet Thread.

ha! Tell me about it, everyone wanted to see Arctic Monkeys and I had to sit them down and tell them about how in 11 my ex wanted to see Queens of the Stone Age and so did I, BUT, I knew that I could see them anywhere, where as Kool and the Gang was going to be a real EXPERIENCE, as opposed to a gig.

Was definitely the right choice, as is Chic

i'm in the process of trying to sway one of my friends to see Chic over Portishead (and he's trying to do the opposite to me). really hope i win. hopefully Portishead will start a bit before Chic so i can check that out for a bit, convince him it's not the best way to start Glastonbury and drag him to West Holt before Chic start

Think I might even don a party frock for this occasion

[4AssedMonkey]

I'm still considering a white suit and dreadlock wig....

If the length of this thread is any sort of indication then its going to be packed out.

[Trebor]

Does anyone think there is a real danger of this being too packed? I was hoping to get to the Park for Django Django, then come back.

it'll be fine. Long thread here, but the same 20 people regularly posting. Nothing to fret about.

Up against less stiff competition I think it would be rammed. The Friday Headline clash is however brain meltingly horrible.

[James Kneen]

I want your lunch! Can't wait for Chic! x

The party starts here!

This was Bern's last concert with Chic. He was advised by doctors not to play but he was always a show must go on type of guy. He died in bed in the early hours following this performance. So sad. Nile gives a poignant account of the events in his book.

We lost the greatest bass player in the world that night.

I think they will be many peoples best moment of the weekend. Grew up listening to them and Earth,Wind and Fire so am looking forward to a great set and a proper dance.

I saw Chic in Manchester few weeks ago. Up there with one of the best gigs I have ever been. In for an absolute treat.

[Zoo Music Girl]

One week today! Me and my best mate throwing some shapes in the sun to Chic. Cannot wait.

The rest of my friends are going to Crystal Castles instead. I ask you.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Okay so the sun will have gone in. But you know what I mean

[Yorkshire Chomper]

This thread has convinced me for Chic

Nile Rodgers is playing in Edinburgh tonight and tomorrow, but it's an odd 'performed piece' with spoken word sections and the man himself acting in an autobiographical tale of the history of Harlem.

Was toying with going but it's £30 a pop and I need a few nights off the sauce in prep for the G.
