I love his original music, but his guitar solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps, is the best guitaring from an artist that is still alive imho

Mumfords did 'With a little help from my friends' so no reason Prince could not do While My Guitar Gently Weeps

I didn't say he couldn't play it :lol:

I didn't see that With a Little Help From My Friends cover anyway. I can't stand Mumford and Sons and With a Little Help From My Friends is one of my least favourite Beatles songs.

Obviously there's no way its common knowledge but the pre production will of started at a high level and I'd be surprise if the didn't know a full line up by now. But it will be a tiny group of people know that ibformation.

none of the pre-production stuff would need to know precisely which acts they're broadcasting. The actual scheduling would be a very minor part of things.

The only thing they might need early notice for is to start the talks with an act about broadcasting, but it's perfectly clear from when the Stones played that that process didn't start till quite a while after they'd been announced - so nearer to the festival than now.

Luckily it was not the awful Beatles version, but the incredible Joe Cocker one

Great solo from Prince yeah. A bit "stunt" guitar playing though.

Heres Claptons isolated original.

If Glasto HQ had any sense they will have called Eric this year. Its borderline criminal that hes never played.

A great solo has to fit with mood of the song imo. if its prince just shredding as many notes as possible in a ridiculous solo, then i cba with it. the songs called while my guitar gently weeps ffs! but havent seen it yet so just assuming!

You'd regret it, I guarantee it!

He's not alone, Mr N.

I fully expect to be watching music at Sunday headliner time, but there would need to be a pretty dreadful selection of alternatives to his purpleness for me to be at the Pyramid. With the sort of acts around this year, I can easily see 2 or 3 of the other principal (pun intended, ahthangyoo) stages drawing me there, rather than watch him..

I think he's a phenomenal musician, and I have great regard for his integrity in a business full of talentless narcissists (he being a talented narcissist, obviously). But, actually, having grown up during his pomp and zenith (before he gave away albums with an execrable newspaper), I always found him a bit too slef-indulgent. Saying that, my wife, then girlfriend, and I spent two weeks listening to Lovesexy through a single earbud each on the beach on holiday when we were bairns.

He is a massive Prince fan, so maybe they can sort something out. Eric's Favorited ever song is Purple Rain http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p009mdm4

    • I was following up to pink_triangle's post about what Reform are saying they will do to find money for defence spending.   But with Labour, they may well water down or delay some of the net zero commitments, they may find ways to cut welfare spending with Pat McFadden's welfare review thing, but I don't think it's going to be near enough. They really tied themselves down with the tax commitments in their manifesto, just reversing Hunt's NI cuts would have gone a long way. Under Burnham I think they may try and reform some of the tax system, land taxes and levies etc. Certainly needs reforming. But that might all be after a general election if Labour were to win.  I reckon they will try and do something with fiscal rules to borrow more, and try and persuade markets to go along with them.  (and he's already rowed back on that waspi thing...I think his team and others in Labour had a word).
    • Feels like Leeds getting axed is just a matter of time now, and to be honest, it might be the only way to save Reading. The whole twin-site format just feels proper dated and way too expensive to run nowadays. If they scrapped Leeds and focused entirely on Reading, turning it into a proper London-adjacent day-trip fest for the younger crowd like All Points East or Wireless, it would actually make sense financially. But yeah, for the old-school rock crowd, the R&L era is completely dead and buried.
    • Its the obvious  place to find savings but will Ed Miliband play along? Will Labour MP's finally accept benefits cuts? This is as damaging for Reeves as for Starmer. Its hard to see how either survives. Meanwhile Burnham is bringing up WASPI when there is no chance they'll get anything. He'll have to say something about funding defence.
    • Yeah, I managed 2 at once last year but the setup meant 1 per purchase, my partner had to do her one separately using her code   14th Primavera, bring it on!
    • I’m heading to this but need to leave on the Sat. Does anyone have any experience of getting back to the train station without the shuttle bus running? Seems like it might be tricky
