Chic...

[mike46]

So I've just watched an interview with Nile Rodgers on BBC from last November where he mentions Glasto and how amazing it was. (He also said they told him there was over 50,000 people there and they had to close the path off for only the second time in history! Is this true?!)

Anyway, it was an incredible night. They've got to come back this year right? Where could they play...personally after seeing Arcade Fire at the roundhouse last year Chic would be a perfect sub to get the party atmosphere going.

50,000?

So not only does he lie about what songs he wrote, he lies about what crowds he gets too.

There are no depths to which this rat wont stoop.

they closed the path for Rolf I believe..

he's in highly esteemed company

Hmm, I went for a piss in the latter half of the set and it wasn't closed off. It was a big crowd though. What songs are you claiming he lied about writing, Russy? Doubt they'll be back this year, as great as they were.

It was a big crowdbut I didn't see anywhere closed off? (Unless he meant the path through the Middle of West Holts, as the crowd stretch over the other side of that).

Was a great night, I had good fun but I think it's bit to soon for him/them to come back. (Aside from Nile's cameo appearance with Daft Punk's secret set ) It's not like his going do a much different set list is it?

They didn't close the path. I went for a shit mid gig and walked around the entire field, behind the stage and all the way back around to the back of the field.

Was packed mind you. Thousands of temporarily neutered people dancing around to the same weak as piss disco guitar riff for 90 minutes.

[mrtourette]

Unless he does another song with Daft punk and hits the daytime chatshow circuit hard again I can't see demand being as high.

[Midnight Man]

No form of depravity is too low for Nile.

There is no crime to which he will not sink. There is no atrocity that he will not countenance and no perversity to which he will not subject his followers until all that is pure and holy is as torn and bloodied beneath his cloven hooves.

[Wooderson]

Most packed show I've experienced at the Jazz World.

[Mr Splodge]

Was a large crowd and fantastic atmosphere. Don't remember anything being closed off tho.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'd guess at *maybe* - 15 to 20 thousand people there. But that's real finger in the air stuff.

[Alcatraz]

I guess its one of those '10 million turned up to our protest but the Police say it was only 10,000' kind of deals.

[Calvin Klein]

No way it was 50k. I was there. I say no more than 10k.

[jeffie]

Lot of abuse there Scruffy for a fella who plays guitar.....

[CaledonianGonzo]

Let's Dance I think, among others. "And here's another one of my songs you might know" he said, or something.

He makes my blood boil.

[Wooderson]

I reckon there was at least 25K at Chic. It was absolutely heaving.

[dingbat2]

I think they closed the path off to stop people leaving the West Holts stage to go and see the much superior Portishead at the Other Stage

The monster!

[jeffie]

I ain't no rockist, just Chic ain't my thing.

Was meant tongue in cheek - I appreciate that the guy's a legend. I think my Nile abuse is mild compared to Russy's.

[Mardy]

We came in a few songs in, pretty busy but not ridiculous, easy enough to walk down the sides etc. I'd go 15-18K
