You're missing out. Its a great tune to steal a jumbo to and then jump out just as the chorus kicks in. Or have it playing as you're cruising around looking for 2x4s to kill.

And also, listen to Traffic by Traffic and Ginger Bakers Airforce. 

Personal favourite is blasting All Saints' Pure Shores while lobbing grenades at oil tankers.

when his other half was playing a few years back you couldnt move in that field and he was SHITE ...[imo] and i think the same will happen this time only i dont think the field will be so rammed [again imo ]

Most people would associate Winwood with Higher Love. A Feargal Sharkey type I suppose.

And let's not forget that if it weren't for that last song, a whole generation of teenage boys would never have seen *that* video.

Come and seeeeeee me!

I'm the same guy I used to be

Proclaimers  got a big old crowd last year, and if they show up again this year as rumoured they'll do so again. People just plain like 'em.

In contrast, while Winwood didn't clash with the Stones, he very much clashed with the timeframe people felt that they had to start assembling in front of the Pyramid 

Winwood had a pitiful crowd that thinned out steadily the closer it came to The Rolling Stones set time leaving about 200 hardcore absolutely loving his set. We walked out of the acoustic tent and strolled to the Pyramid and worked our way in from the back and got a good spot on the hill,  sparked a joint and The Stones walked out. We could not have timed it better and those who abandoned Winwood's set halfway through really missed out. 

Back to Art, I said on the first Art Garfunkel thread that I would gladly hand over my man card and weep openly for the majority of his set and it very much appears I won't be alone on that one,  especially looking at his current set list. An Efests communal "weep meet" sounds great.

And you can buy tampons in the shop across from the Cider Bus.

Don't think the Proclaimers will be there this year - they are playing Truro on Fri, Weston SM on Sat and Croydon on the Sunday. Shame, they're great fun.

Weston is only 30 miles from Pilton and I'm sure The Proclaimers can manage 2 gigs in a day.

I believe they can walk 1000 miles to be there at our door.

Yeah, that's only 6% of what they usually walk.

They do normally fall down after that, though, so they probably wouldn't be up for another gig after that mileage. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

If the Reids were on their way it'd be 3 years out of 4, so not surprising that they're sitting this one out.

3% actually. (You forgot the 500 more). 

No wonder it's just letters from America, even they can't walk that far...

[ThomThomDrum]

Jesus!

It's now officially beginning to get at me!

Headliners of Coldplay, Muse and potentially Adele made me smile, but now the prospect of missing ZZ-top, Art Garfunkel and Foals killing it on the Pyramid have me now beginning to hurt. The hurt this first missed Glasto since 2004 will bring will only get stronger once feels..................

I love Simon and Garfunkel, but am only now scouring YouTube for some solo Art songs, and it doesn't sound like my cup of tea. Does anyone know if he usually plays any Simon and Garfunkel stuff, or just his own?

[billum]

Oooh, er, I'd say there's an outside chance he might slip one in!

Superb!!!

[Harmonic Prospector]

He gives the people what they want. Out of all the acts i am planning on seeing this weekend (the most of any year) he is the one I am looking forward to the most. It's going to be emotional. 

[Alan_C]

I've pretty much agreed not to see Tame Impala because I have picked a big part of the lineup and I know the mrs will hate them, so it's out of Art or Chvrches on Saturday. Not my final decision but I can probably influence it!

I'm trying to make the Art/Chvrches decision. Two of the acts I most wanted to see! I'm slightly leaning towards Art as I don't know when I'll next have the chance to see him, and I don't think I'll be short of opportunities to see Chvrches. It'll probably come down to my mood on the day - whether I'm up for a bit of a dance or a bit of a cry.

Also - the Acoustic is gonna be absolutely overflowing for this, isn't it? Even with the three-way clash with Tame Impala and Chvrches

Aye it will be rammed. I dismissed the idea of it because of that until I realised that there is a 55 minute gap between TLSP and Art. Saturday night is looking brilliant, it's just that sub decision that is a bastard.
