My issue with the Charlatans is I have seen them twice about 12 years or so years apart and was bored twice.

Admittedly one was the early morning death slot last year, but they didn't do ir then.

Ive always just found them to be the stone roses-(very) -lite on record.

I thought they sounded absolutely dreadful in that slot last year. I was surprised by how shite they were

This opening slot seems not to do the bands any favours, wonder how James will fare this year

For the set:

Not been a vintage week for 90s bands releasing songs

They will do well. They have a bigger array of good tunes and are far better live that Kaiser Chiefs, Beady Eye and The Charlatans. I will be shocked if they do not nail it.

SFA as said on here,are massively underrated. . there are in a different class from the bands mentioned on here.

I was merely pointing out that SFA have made a better comeback record than the Roses.

It's the crowd that will kill it for them. I'm still furious they've got this lousy slot. 

Their first song has to be perfectly chosen. I'm thinking laid could be the way to go

Definitely Laid is the way to go, I agree about the shitty slot too, hopefully we get a second set somewhere else, preferably when it's dark

Hehehe, for years, in fact for as long as i've been on these boards, all the James fans on here have been banging on about what a great booking for the festival they'd be.

Now, they've been booked, the excuses are already starting to come in, i noticed it the other week, too; Murmers about the wrong time of day, wrong stage etc etc.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yeah. There's no such thing as a bad slot, only bad performances.

Laid or even sit down in honesty. Last night, they came back for the encore and Tim said 'we normally do something unexpected at this point but tonight we're gonna play the obvious.' i thought, 'laid' but it was sit down and i thought 'for fuck's sake.' but d'ya know what - it was brilliant. Band were proper into it. Never seen a tambourine be played as vigorously as Andy did for that song. Crowd loved it. My miserable old fart face well and truly proved wrong and cheered up. 

Need to go some to beat this gentleman!

[Mardy]

But, in all seriousness, look at last year, both Patti Smith and Belle & Sebastian had times/stages that nobody wanted for them. Groans of disappointment when those times were revealed. But in both cases they absolutely fucking nailed it.

You think that's what they'll do? I can see it working if they get a critical mass of people along there. Enough to make it bounce. They've got 3 absolute bankers that everyone knows, right? Play them at the right time, could have everyone by the jaffas.

No excuses from me, I have said they will nail it.

It will have a lousy atmosphere because everyone in the crowd will be sober. That's why it's a terrible slot.

As you well know.

As long as they open with the right two songs they'll nail it i reckon. Two from Sit down, laid, she's a star, come home or tomorrow. 

Although last night she's a star was done acoustic. It was brilliant but may not be the way to go in June as an opener. 

What will they get, 45 mins? 

Open with sit down, then she's a star, born of frustration, couple of middling songs, then a run of tomorrow, come home and laid to finish with? 

As a non-devout passerby, that would probably keep me there

You're wrong. I seen them play at 11am at Latitude a couple of years ago (due to be the afternoon before, but flight was delayed so they opted to come on the following morning before the rest of the bands started). They were fucking great, even with very few hits and mainly stuff I don't know. The first morning of the first day of Glastonbury people will be up for it. I wouldn't bother buying tickets to another James live show because I'm not all that enthused to see them live again, but they're a fucking gift to a festival when the sun is out and you're with your mates, proper magic.

Has someone mentioned the Dogtanian & the 3 Muskehounds theme tune yet?

Hang on. Did you mean the colour of the dogs? Or the colour of their shit?

Because white dog shit is proper 80s retro and obviously superior. Often found near duscarded porn in the woods. Near your den. Next to your Grifter.

Even if they have mate, I see no issue in re-emphasising it.

Is it going to get to no 1?

Sorry mate I missed a comma out. I meant the colour of the shit. That was the point I was making. White shit might seem better to some people but it still stinks and you still would not eat it, regardless of how it looked on the surface.

I had a chopper anyway in the 80's.
