Wooderson Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 ELO was miles better than Dolly, Shirley, Neil Diamond etc. Taking heat on this thread from people who weren't there. Le sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewsstrat Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 I was half expecting ELO to be lacking in stage persona after their radio 2 comeback at Hyde park.. I was willing the sun to shine just as they struck up mr blue sky, but alas was not to be. They did play good versions of the back catalogue though and it was a technically good gig, but atmosphere got lost up the back... Not the togetherness usually expected at a legend slot.. I think chic and elton should get a bite of the cherry... Also would like to see Paul carrack on the pyramid in afternoon.. He's done well on acoustic for last two years - cracking version of the living years this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osama Jim Laden Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Really enjoyed ELO.. Some banging tunes, agreed about the lack of interaction but Jeff don't really come across as much-of-a-talker so not sure what people were expecting.. Jeff Lynne just writes perfect pop songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure how they calculate the figures though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those figures come from BARB which produces all UK TV viewing data - it's calculated using set top boxes in a selection of homes across the country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosscoe Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 So how about Steve nicks for the legends slot? Eavis' don't want to spend a fotune on the entire Mac crew. Most of the tunes for 1/5 of the price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlastoEls Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 ^ Gibbo will surely surround himself with backing singers and brilliant musicians like Brian Wilson does. No problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justperfect Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Article also implies DR was booked but had to pull out leaving the door open for ELO. Must have been a really early withdraw, wasn't ELO amongst the first to be announced? All hail the (thingy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDaze Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 On 30/06/2016 at 1:53 PM, Nobody Interesting said: Art Garfunkel deserves the slot just because he was stunningly brilliant in the Accoustic tent. I did think though that Diana Ross was as good as signed up for next year. I am sorry but i was utterly miserable at Art Garfunkel..... i only lasted 4 songs. granted i was tired and the old knees were causing me grief.. but the big numbers (and they are BIG numbers) were karaoke and he couldnt hold a tune in a bucket for the lesser known... i found it all too sad.. a little like asking Bobby Charlton to put his boots back on (although that wouldnt have been a bad thing last week) and he is as big a cock as Paul Simon btw.

Mezhyp1 Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 The S** is reporting that Diana Ross has been booked, their source; Barry Gibb. I don't believe a single thing printed in that tree theif mind you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i hadnt had my coffee) the 2 biggest crowds over the last 3 festivals though have probably been Dolly Parton and Lionel Richie.. Diana Ross is a much bigger name than either. It would be stupid packed.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going off the incredibly unscientific and unregionalised method of Twitter followers, we have: Dolly Parton: 3.8M Lionel Ritchie: 258K Diana Ross: 46.2K So, she appears to be 2 orders of magnitude less interesting than Dolly on that basis.

stuartbert two hats Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Diana Ross has recorded truck loads of good songs, it must be said. However, I've never been convinced by her charisma or singing voice. Still, some great songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Diana won't pull quite as ginormous a crowd as both Dolly and Lionel imo. they're both huge pop culture icons with a lot of cheese and showbiz about them, whereas Diana is known strictly for her (albeit, fantastic) music. no oversized fake tits or hilarious rich tea punned flags in the crowd watching her - harkens back more to the pre-Dolly and Lionel legend slot imo. i'll be there for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
