Blur?

[Wooderson]

Really wasn't expecting it to be as good as it sounds like it was.

The miserable scousers were good mind.

But that's definitely my version of russy's 'but doves were brilliant in the John Peel tent.'

Are you another disciple of Nal's "setlist avoiding" faith?

[Mardy]

it's interesting, if this happens, can see it being a big big crowd. Very popular choice.

[Wooderson]

I refuse to believe they were better than Shakey that year though. That helps with the pain.

They were. Miles better.

[zero000]

them tarnishing your Glastonbury memory of them in order for me to gain a Glastonbury memory of them is a risk i'm hoping they're willing to take!

I did say it was incredibly selfish

[Mardy]

How quickly things turn around, could potentially be looking at Foos, Blur and Taylor Swift as headliners. Good card that, in terms of wider recognition. Massive viewing figures for the beeb, lots of newspaper coverage, everyone you talk to will have heard of any two out of three of them.

[Mezhyp1]

Would FF, Blur and Taylor be the strongest trio ever?

[FloorFiller]

Would FF, Blur and Taylor be the strongest trio ever?

it's not even as strong as the last time Blur played. but it'd be a very very popular trio

[Mezhyp1]

You could argue that 09 was the strongest though, it would be massively popular I think, covers most of the bases anyway

[The Placid Casual]

In saying that, you don't really get much bigger than that year

[Mardy]

Dunno about strongest, but I reckon it's a better mix than 2009, really, which was all a bit Mojo/Uncut

[toppo]

Blur 2009 is head and shoulders above any other gig for me. The whole experience was the perfect storm for me. The Grand Finalé for my first Glastonbury at the ripe old age of 39. Ended up going solo for various reasons. Ended up dead centre about 5 rows of people back and was moved to my very core. The pure raw energy of song 2 and 90k people momentarily pogoing the earth off its axis. Phil Daniels leading us all in his cockney geezer dingaling Parklife. The raw emotion when Damon breaking down to tears after To The End at the realisation of what was happening before him to the immense crowd reaction to Tender, not particularly a big tune before that night but after many chorus encores its drifting accross the farm long into the night with pockets of people bursting into song. The lovely couple i spoje to dressed up as the Coffee and TV milk cartons.

A truly had to be there moment and i feel sorry for those who missed out on it. As much as a return would never live up to that night wild horses wouldn't keep me away.

That year they had Blur on the Pyramid, and The Prodigy on the other, yet BBC had Zane Lowe covering the Black Eyed Peas on the Jazz World stage

No wonder he left Beyonce in 2011

[Woffy]

I refuse to believe they were better than Shakey that year though. That helps with the pain.

That fucker didn't play This Old House or Green Door. He's a disgrace.

[Wooderson]

Liar.

Miles better is impossible.

Not kidding. Shakey was mega, Blur was transcendent.

[Woffy]

Not kidding. Shakey was mega, Blur was transcendent.

I refer the honourable gentleman to the post i made some moments ago.

[WS_Jack_III]

Neil Young was good but he didn't do don't let it bring you down.

I suppose when you have so many great songs you are always gonna leave some out.

[The 38 year old virgin]

He was transcendent for me to be honest. He means more to me than blur to be honest.

This doesn't help me who wasn't at 09, and I already had a worryingly fanatical love of the neiler.

[jackarmy]

I would say with hindsight 2009 was the strongest lineup ever, loads of acts were booked and then became massive that summer.

[Drinky]

I missed Neil Young to see Bloc Party

[Icewulf]

I missed Neil Young to see Bloc Party

Me too. But then I was a massive Bloc Party fan.

oh dear

[russycarps]

Doves were brilliant that night. No regrets! If I could live 2009 again I'd go see doves. Great times.

[The Placid Casual]

I'd have seen Doves

[Wooderson]

Fair play.

[Osama Jim Laden]

Think I saw Ray Davies instead of Neil Young.. Ray was badass, footage of Young on YouTube looks fucking incredible
