Counting Crows?

[Cabaret_Tent]

Counting Crows? Is this a joke? How unchallenging and MOR can you possibly get? May as well be done with it - bring on Maroon 5 and Machbox 20 and have them play back to back.

The joy of Glastonbury is if you don't like a particular band there's a million other things going on for you to choose from. I could criticise fans of loads of bands I don't like but instead I just don't read threads on them. Each to their own eh?

I desperately hope they're not on the Pyramid and play somewhere smaller for fans to get up close and you can stay wherever you are.

this band are the pits. There's nothing worse than a "serious" band. c**ts!

Yet you have a fondness for War on Drugs.

Yep who thankfully have zero similarities with counting c**ts

[Gnomicide]

Quite right. Counting Crows don't sound like Dire Straits.

how exactly someone with hair like that managed to take down half the cast of friends is beyond me

fair game to him though

[Gnomicide]

Excellent show in Manc Apollo last night. Miami and Rain King being the highlights for me.

He shagged Matt La Blanc?

who'd have thought.....

So, Counting Crows are at IoW mid-June, then a gap until a gig in Italy on July 3rd. Is it reasonable to be hopeful of a glasto appearance (considering I like them)?

I think there's a good chance. Hoping for an Acoustic Stage headline set.

I'd put money on an afternoon Pyramid slot (not a lot mind).

More likely than my hoped Acoustic stage set.

You can't beat that moment at the Pyramid when a band plays the only song that 99% of the crowd know

Altogether now.....

Mister Jo-oh-ones and me....

Would people even know that one anymore?

Sadly when I saw them at V they played a fucked up rejigged version that bore no resemblance to the original at all. Fucked me right off.

I like that version

I was surprised at the show I went to on the recent tour how Mr Jones still gets the biggest cheer. I didn't think they'd have many casual fans attending gigs these days and for the fans with a greater interest, it surely can't be their favourite.

I think Mr Jones is a brilliant brilliant pop song. Others may disagree, but they're wrong.

I think for many, it's just the first song they heard from the band, so holds a special appeal. I could say the same about many bands. For example, 'Kayleigh' was the first song I heard by Marillion, and although I accept that it's a fairly mediocre pop song, and they've produced far better, it'll always have that distinction.

A fair point and is a great song, just thst they have so many better ones.

[Walter Sobchak]

I'll be there for Mr Jones and Round here!

[tezshields]

I'd be well chuffed if Counting Crows showed up. Deffo late afternoon slot and sunshine would contribute to the feel. A good few scoops down my neck and I'd be over the moon.

Here's hoping.

Now showing as a rumour on the line up page.

Where did that come from?

Well spotted!

They're playing in the Netherlands on the Friday, but then not until the Wednesday after, so a Sunday appearance could be on the cards. Not sure if there's any more to it.

[eFestivals]

people send us info.

Who'd have thought it, eh?

I know. It's almost like you're some sort if festival based website.
