At leeds fest in 2011, everyone who hadn't heard them before hated it. And they were great. Definitely not a pyramid sub though. It'd be 1000 times worse for them than Beck. 

Leeds 2011 I didn't know any National songs (although I recognised Fake Empire) and I thought they were brilliant, and that gig made me a huge fan. Although half the crowd were sat down/chatting through it. Seen them once since then and they were brilliant again (this time subbing Green Day at a festival (thankfully Sigur Rós were on whilst Green Day were)). I'd love them to sub the Pyramid but I don't think they will - Other subs for me if they play.

This talk reminds me I haven't listened to The National in ages. In terms of lists I honestly can't separate Alligator/Boxer/High Violet, and Trouble Will Find Me isn't far behind those three.

In terms of their best tunes - Karen, Lit Up, Mr November, Fake Empire, Slow Show, Apartment Story, Bloodbuzz Ohio, Conversation 16, England, Pink Rabbits.

God I forgot how good they are. The other week my mate put Bloodbuzz Ohio on at a party when a few of us were sat in my room feeling a little worse for wear towards the end of the night and it's probably the first time I've heard then in like a year. I was so happy when I heard it; I'd completely forgotten about them. It was my best mate from school who I see maybe like twice a year now and The National were one of our shared loves so it was nice and cute.

Of course you'll get mocked for liking The Bends on a Radiohead thread. That album is entry level! 

For some reason that I can't really place it's becoming an overlooked masterpiece. The Bends is absolutely stunning.

The Bends is the only true proper out-and-out classic brilliant Radiohead album. Ok computer and in rainbows lodge behind it. 

I'll state that now before people come in and mock me for not liking the dull bleepy stuff cos I'm not 'clever' enough for it :lol: #standardradioheadpretentioustwats

    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
    • Wow just got myself some Megadeth tickets and not sure I can afford another set of tickets for another gig so soon but we'll see. Fingers crossed
    • Can't speak for Dua Lipa's, but Coldplay's was vastly scaled down compared to their stadium production staging though, and tracks were adapted to reflect that. MOTS tour had a full walkway 30m out to the B-Stage in the middle of the crowd, and two C-Stages. Glastonbury didn't accommodate that at all and just had a very small walkway in front of the Pyramid stage, and (IIRC) a disconnected B-Stage.   Which re-enforces my point. Acts can adapt their stage shows if they really want. Most do, some don't want to. Glastonbury might miss out on the odd act that doesn't want to slightly adapt, but so will most festivals.
