The Chic Excitmenet Thread.

[Big Vern]

Epic gig, hit after hit after hit. It was great when Nile got loads of fans up on stage other than the bloke who chose to spend most of his time up there recording it on his ipad rather than living the moment. Quite sad.

Chic were incredible, they have taken the crown from "best performance I have ever seen at a festival" from The Human League. I doubt that anyone could ever top it, the atmosphere was incredible, people of all ages dancing and singing along.

[SteveLB]

Slightly spoiled for me by standing in front of a girl who blew a very loud whistle every few seconds, a tall guy who played a kazoo (badly) along to every song, and a group of non-stop talkers.

But it seems that's what you have to accept these days.

[BlackHole2006]

Absolutely incredible gig, shame I got a naf spot, but didn't stop me from enjoying every minute of it. Really think they deserve second from top on Pyramid next year for that one!

[Krazypinkminx]

Chic was my favourite of all that I saw

[CaledonianGonzo]

Just had it on again. Immense:

The breakdown in Le Freak is as good live as I could have ever imagined it

[scrippit]

Up near the front with my wife, some old friends and, best of all, my son and his Uni mates who he had persuaded to join us. What a party! We danced like it was 1979 again (except everything ached on Saturday!).

Next year I want the full 15 piece Earth Wind and Fire to be wheeled out. That would complete my soul/disco revival dream...

Thank you all for this thread - without it I wouldn't have gone and seen the performance of 2013. The band looked totally blown away by the crowds reaction.

I almost forgot about the annoying pricks pushing through "to see Daft Punk".

[srb]

Had seen them before so knew what I was in for but still, what a show. The whole group look so happy to be there, interact with crowd, great music and an amazing atmosphere. Was the only one of my group that went but met with some other mates who absolutely loved it. The ones that missed out looked pig sick when saw a few tv clips on Monday.

Don't think I will ever tire of watching Chic live - different class

[pie_and_a_pint]

I'm just watching this back on my YouView - it's one to lock and never delete. Good god it's good! Now, I wouldn't have missed Portishead for anyone (and it was amazeballs) but I'm epically jealous of everyone who was in West Holts on Friday night!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Tough clash - though I don't think anyone who went to either gig has any regrets.

So, in a sense, everyone's a winner!

No regrets it was epic,I had to see it by myself as my friends wanted to see Pottyhead,they would of gone if PH wasn't playing and vise versa.

Everyones a winner!

[MoorB]

Best of the festival for me-lost my voice to prove it! Dancing to "We Are Family" with my cousin is a memory to treasure forever-although a bit hazy after too much Havana & coke!

[jeffie]

Watching again for the 3rd time. Just a shame it cuts before the point when Nile came back on (never really left) for the Daft Punk bit. How much had he enjoyed that set......?

This year was my sixth glasto, and Chic must go down as the best night I've ever had at the festival! Awesome

[gizmoman]

Was thinking that myself! What an absolute twat, who takes a fucking ipad to film with at a concert? Imagine some twat blocking your view with a bastard ipad!

What a start to the weekend...Epic,every song,amazing atmosphere,one giant dance floor.

Me and my mate made up a nice little dance number to 'Spacer' but the dance ended up being done with every act we saw and i'm trying not to do it while walking down the street......How i love that planet called Glastonbury.

[Walter Sobchak]

Thanks for that. Wonder why the BBC didn't show it.

[jeffie]

Playing at Bingley too. I'm very tempted.

[LondonTom]

Was epic ...Took me a bit to find a decent spot but glad I didn't settle as I was by myself so wanted to be more in the crowd proper instead of dancing at the back! (Partly my fault, for staying to the end of foals and going for a wee ).

Was utterly amazing Loved Le Freak

The Get Lucky singalong at the end was the perfect way to do that one I thought to What a great show!

[shoptildrop]

one of my highlights even though it meant missing Portishead who have yet to see.... the crowd was amazing!!!

We had legged it from Foals just in time and were right at back but found a bench to stand on so had great view from the back
