How was Macca CG? He still got the pipes?

Now this surprised me. PIPES INTACT.

He sounded fabulous, to the extent that I was wondering whether there was maybe some digital trickery going on. It was obviously a bit lower than 4 decades ago and sometimes his vocals didn't sound quite 'in the room' and there were a couple of wobbles on things like Maybe I'm Amazed, but on the whole it was as good as he's sounded in since forever. After a while I just stopped trying to figure out what was going on and just enjoyed the show.

So anyone repeating the 'his voice is gone' observation is gonna neeed to change the programme.

Nice one. A beast of a setlist as well there, 40 songs!! He mightn't be as active but he's still putting on a show it seems.

Yep, really annoying that they're shunning the likes of Stacked Actors and Hey, Johnny Park! for several covers.

On the plus side, they played Big Me.

No breakout or I'll stick around either

opening with Everlong is a pretty ballsy move. that'd be a great start to a Glastonbury set

agree about there being too many covers - especially as they're now only playing Learn To Fly from There Is Nothing Left To Lose. not too fussed on the inclusion of Long Road To Ruin and But, Honestly either. much prefer something from an earlier album (I'll Stick Around, Hey, Johnny Park!, Generator, Stacked Actors etc)

Is that what you got 2.5 hours? Seeing them in manchester on Wednesday so have avoided watching the big weekend highlights etc.

For Manchester they are down for 8-30 start 10-30 curfew so 120 minutes.

How much was a beer tonight?

Was 4.50 a pint , were on stage from 8.30 to 11

FATM headlining over The Who I'll agree with, regardless of the fact I'm happy with them as I haven't seen them. Flo would have been new and fresh.

Totally agree. The festival has become focused on huge headliners - it used to Make huge headliners

To me headliners are bands that all the other bands further down the bill aspire to be like. I don't feel someone like Florence is quite there. Having said that arctic monkeys after just 2 albums I enjoyed the set but just felt to soon. Anyway what do I know

Yeah the cover set is daft. No room for that from a band with such a colossal back catalogue. I guess it's just the gimmick for the Sonic Highways tour.

Frankly, if the choice happened to be between hearing three covers or another three of the Sonic Highways tracks I'd opt for the former every day of the week!

    • Yeah was via this
    • They appear to say on their IG posts that you can combine two discounts (so yes) but not three ie you cant also claim the resident discount.

    • Bracketology: predict a path to World Cup victory | World Cup 2026 | The Guardian   One if anyone wants to give it a shot. Though most of mine produce France or Spain winning it. Choosing a random winner on shuffle mode and creating scenarios where Curacao win was quite fun though.
