Sunday Legend 2016


O'Doyle Rules

Recommended Posts

Speaking of Dylan, anyone heard the new 'Bootleg Series'? It's an exhaustive look at the golden era (IMO) - '65-66. It's almost all pure gold (18 CDs worth, no less) - some raucous stuff on it. It's an absolute treasure-trove as he never recorded the same song the same way twice while he was in the studio. One take was vastly difference to the next. Kind of explains why he is what he is when you see him live.

Random thought... McCartney?

Not been rumoured, Eavis said he's keen to return, seems the sort who would do it for a laugh...

I think someone said that Eavis said a couple of years ago that he thinks his voice is shot, so people assumed he wouldnt be considered again.

Would be a shame if this is the case as recent reports are that his voice is fine.

But Eavis also said last week that Macca was keen to return. Don't think he'd say that if he never planned to consider him again. Heard his O2 gigs last year were good. Loved 2004 and would happily see him again.

If Macca is sensible, he'd do the Legends slot. It would be huge for the festival and the only way for them to top the last couple of years in terms of artist and song recognition, and it would be great for McCartney because he could prove to a huge audience that his voice isn't shot in the way that so many people think it is.

    • I see, well even if they aren't on sale it's still not a disaster sales wise, it's not like they are struggling to sell a half capacity areana
    • Blue dot wouldn’t be a thing if Ticketmasters dynamic pricing went down as well as up, it proves that the dynamic pricing was just a scam to make more money rather than something that moved with the market supply/demand. 
    • I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.
    • MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.
    • Ultimately Glasto is just part of the festival circuit, however special we may think it is. The vast majority of its headliners have done many others
