CaledonianGonzo Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 In fact, scrap the Legends Slot and we can all just fly around on Falkor for an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwedgeAntilles Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I've always thought Mariah Carey looked like Falkor. Hopefully she doesn't get booked by mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanieM28 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Well, if you're all amused at the idea of Elton John, and those of his generation, not to mention the fantasy of Limahl being worthy enough, then I rather think we can venture into the realms of dead people at this point. If there is anything I would have loved to have seen in the Legends Spot, it would have been this... It never fails to cheer me up. And I gather the backing singer who managed to continue performing without laughing was Whitney Houston's mum.

I'd love to see Cat Stephens or Aretha Franklin in the slot personally. Others of the top of my head would be: Carole King Chuck Berry Little Richard Garth Brooks?

Ry Cooder Ry Cooder headlining West Holts all the way! With special guests. Thats an all time great gig there. Chuck Berry and Little Richard are barely standing so thats them out unfortunately. Should've been booked years ago. Same for Jerry Lee Lewis. Edited July 19, 2016 by The Nal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, Ry Cooder would be amazing wherever he played but a West Holts headliner would be perfect. Sadly Chuck Berry and Little Richard are no longer performing with Little Richard reportedly in poor health. Jerry Lee Lewis was still performing earlier this year mind but I think it's only a very occasional thing now. They are the last great Rock and Rollers still standing now. Shaun.

Think it was more they were expecting cheesy 80s and he played a load of new stuff thinking people actually liked him and wanted to be taken seriously. To not play Green door (and possibly this ole house but he may have played that) when you're Shakin' Stevens is a worse crime than Paul Simon not playing any Simon and Garfunkel really. Would've been a great moment if he played the Christmas tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played neither. Some bloke even made a full size green door out of cardboard with a message on it. There was booing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
