Burt Bacharach

[windy_miller]

No Magic Moments on the setlist!

I always like how borderline insane the lyrics actually make him sound. That they all started roaring with laughter at the 'magic moment' that was the floor of the car falling out from underneath them (while they were presumably in transit) when he put the clutch down.

One of the greatest lines in any song ever written! It's up there with "Writing frightening verse, To a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg" in Ask by The Smiths.

Ooh that's one of my fave lyrics too!

[ghandi]

It was nearly taps aff o'clock on the number 35 bus in to work.

Lol I thought of you as well, I remember a post back Christmas ish time that you posted asking him to perform. Excellent booking , I will definitely be there!

hahahaha. Superb!

[ghandi]

Yep thats the big one for me this year. It'll be on the day and x quantity of red wine will be the deciding force.

Yeah I might have to miss Dreadzone yet again for the 5th year straight for Mavis

[giantkatestacks]

Its Mavis then a swift mosey down to West Holts for the Mothership for me. Lot of walking that day generally.

[ghandi]

If only Dionne Warwick was coming over

[owenmc606]

If only Dionne Warwick was coming over

That would be absolutely incredible!

Heart stopped.

Burt playing This Guys in Love with You would be a festival highlight for me.

^ THIS ^

Really great news.

[tom22]

He is EIGHTY SEVEN years old!

[kalifire]

Bacharach > Richie

[CaledonianGonzo]

He's a bigger talent for sure, but his current show is too low key and smooth to encapsulate the current party vibe of the Sunday Legends Slot.

[mrpman]

So pleased with him appearing on the line up today. My biggest and best surprise. Really excited to be seeing him!

[deadpheasant]

Love the difference in lyrics within a few hours on Pyramid that day:

"What the world needs now is love sweet love"

"Have you ever had sex with a pharoah

I put the p*ssy in a sarcophagus"

It needs Dionne Warwick singing it, but I can't see that happen :-(

[H.M.V]

Now that would be a Glastonbury moment!

[billum]

He's got so many *incredible* tunes, I'm really looking forward to this. Just hope he does as many as possibly as full songs (even with Paloma Faith on vox!) rather than medleys. Can't be doing with medleys. (A song has to brew like a decent cup of tea - no yukky instant coffee with Burt pleeeeze!)
