D'Angelo

[LeeGalvin]

Blimey, this is a genuinely interesting, out of the blue addition!

[balti-pie]

When people say he's ideal for West Holts, what precisely are they insinuating? It used to be called the JazzWorld stage, so jazz music and world music. World music is a bloody ridiculous term anyways! Is this a MOBO stage now? 

Talking of stupid labels for music . . .

Robert Christgau, the late great music critic, regarded him as "R&B Jesus". Should give you a clue as to what people think to his music

I hate Christgau - his reviews are like someone scuffed up against some fridge-magnet poetry.

He's not 'late' either...

Yeah I agree... just like Mary J Blige was on the pyramid D'angelo will fit fine

Switch to korma.

This is amazing. Unless he's headlining a stage on Friday night against LCD Soundsystem, in which case it's a cruel, cruel booking.

Black Messiah!

Twould be harsh to take, indeed.

Though that might offer the Sigur Ros fans a lifeline...

That he's ideal for West Holts.

[balti-pie]

I like West Holts. I don't like slightly dreary r n b. 

Mind you, I bloody hate Bryan Ferry too, and that tossbag headlined it a couple of years back! 

basically, what I'm saying is: give West Holts headliners that I myself want! 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I dunno...by year's end Black Messiah got kinda overshadowed by TPAB, but it's a filthy, lowdown slab of righteousness.

Just watching a performance of D'Angelo on youtube now, this is absolutely incredible.

Seem the words 'dull' and 'dreary' mentioned for him. No chance he is unreal live and will destroy Pilton!

I haven't heard any of his music before, but this performance has instantly grabbed me.

[Wooderson]

This is the "extraordinary" type booking I was after.

[EighteenSixty7]

Wow.

 

I need resale tickets

[Gucci Piggy]

Said earlier on that I gave him a listen a while back when people were raving about The Black Messiah and didn't enjoy it. I've just listened to it again now through proper headphones and really enjoyed it.

Watched that video earlier that people were on about (Untitled, I think) and thought it was lame.

[scrippit]

I am really pleased to see there is some love for him on this thread, this is a brilliant booking and I will see him wherever he plays. Personally I think he and his amazing band would smash the Pyramid.

They would, but to an unappreciative audience who'd just talk through the entire thing and have forgotten he ever played within ten minutes of him finishing. Would be such a waste when there are oh so many stages where he'd go down a storm.

Shoutout to all the people who haven't been living under a funk n soul deflecting rock and know exactly who D'Angelo is.

[EighteenSixty7]

Aint That Easy and Sugah Daddy could be superb live.

[CaledonianGonzo]

And he's gone again:

D'angelo is clearly booked for the kidz field, he's going to spend his time playing peekaboo/hide and seek.
