CaledonianGonzo Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Was devastated at the lack of Horace Wimp at the Glasgow show. But in terms of ELO being the most talked about act of the weekend come Monday morning, I'd be surprised. At least, in a world where Adele is also playing.

Not as showbizzy as previous legends, but musically superior IMO. Would have been a worthy headliner to be fair. As you and I know, popularity and media column inches are no measure of quality.

Do you think they'll play Diary of Horace Wimp? Arguably one of my favourite songs of theirs and they haven't played it on this tour (or hardly ever I don't think?)

But put them all after one another and it's all a bit samey. A twenty song greatest hits album is an endurance test I'd struggle finishing. That's OK Scruff.

Then it's lucky that you'll not be having a headphones moment on the sofa but crowdsurfing on a UFO-shaped inflatable dressed as a Wild West Hero and tanked up on industrial-strength scrumpy.

Smeble Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 If it's been a sunny weekend and still sunny when they are on, ELO will be the perfect teatime band, uplifting singalong tunes, great light show ( shame they aren't on after dark) if it's been another 2007 and everyone is a bit cold and miserable they may struggle to fill the pyramid field, personally I don't care, I'm a huge fan and will be up the front whatever the weather.

Davet84 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I'd not even heard of them before the announcement, tried to get into their stuff on youtube but just dont have any interest in it whatsoever which is a shame, love the traditional sunday legends set, will be the first year i dont do a box of wine in sat at the main stage all afternoon with the whole crew that usually split up all festival Plenty of stuff i do like elsewhere, but it wont be the same :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She loved it needless to say. An hour of bangers from Cliff at 1pm. Then Phil Collins get on with the 4pm Legends slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I'm not saying that Cliff should never do it, but in a world where Elton and #RightBazza have yet to bring it on home he's not the #1 candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elton is still headline material a la Stevie. #RightBazza should be doing it though, but in a way maybe better headlining West Holts, bringing a disco party like EWF.

CaledonianGonzo Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I don’t necessarily disagree that Elton could headline the whole caboodle, but worth noting his recent announcement as the big draw for Radio 2’s Hyde Park bash, given who headlined it two years ago. #RightBazza would be too big a draw for WH.

CaledonianGonzo Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 BBC 4 showing The Chin's full set from last year at 10.45pm tonight. Then the (very worthwhile) Sunday Legend retrospective compilation is on afterwards at 11.45pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowmadiddy Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Just watching Lionel Richie's set and although I do like ELO, my issue is that Jeff Lynn forgot to have a personality and therefore I doubt it'll have the same feeling as past legends.

I quite agree! I was really disappointed that it was ELO. I was hoping for someone like Elton or Rod at the very least considering the stature of Lionel and Dolly in previous years.

Gucci Piggy Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I'd rather have someone with good songs rather than personality tbh. Elton would be good. Rod Stewart? Fuck that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
