Top work :D 

Hoping for full orchestral Sgt Pepper malarkey. They'll probably play Acoustic again but would love Park or earlyish on Pyramid.

I've caught them six times and they've never disappointed, best time was probably the Royal Albert Hall where they had a string section and choir; considering the technological limitations and poor sound The Beatles suffered throughout their touring period I imagine seeing the Bootlegs is actually a more enjoyable experience

Oooh really? Neil (I think)  heard they weren't doing it at festivals

it wasn't the band I got word on, but the band with orchestra doing Peppers. It's not impossible I was told a porkie because that's what he felt he had to do - tho I don't think so - but the source itself on this couldn't be better.

Anyway, it looks like the bootlegs are playing. :)

And on the basis it's not with the orchestra, it's bound to be in acoustic as they're regulars.

the fisherman's friends in to the bootleg beatles last year in the acoustic was exceptional.

on a similar vein I'm hoping the symths will be there again this year, couldn't even get near the tent last year! great singalong outside though :D

Somehow managed to get in the tent for this and it was indeed excellent - was stoked that they got a decent Thursday slot rather than their usual pretty much guaranteed to be missed Sunday morning slot. Hoping they return on the Thursday again this year

    • I guess we should also not underestimate that the Slowdive sound person is probably not quite used to open-air daytime performances in such a large, open area. 🙂 I imagine it's very different from mixing the sound in a tent. Plus, even though I was openminded about it at first - you never know how things might sound or work out in a different setting if you don't try - I just don't think their sound is very suited for this kind of setting, it really benefits from darkness and a nice light show and all that. Still, nice that they got to give it a try.
    • i agree, was really disappointed by the Slowdive sound (we were fairly close to the podium) also if you consider that for all other main stage acts i saw they got it perfectly right.
    • Thanks man for sharing your thoughts. I would say i generally agree with you and do agree people close to the podium should position themselves further back if they want to have full conversations and apparently are not interested in the music; to fair it is mind boggling these people are even there as chatting gets so much easier in the back field. That said i did not really have the same experience as you, front rows for example at MBV, Men I trust, Big Thief, NewDad, Slowdive, where really into the music.    yes i BBK is really high on our list but we just realized it is next year 25 years of Primavera so perhaps we do one more. 
    • When does the Thursday lineup get announced? I see they had Moonchild Sanelly and Young Knives last year, would be cool to get something along those lines again.
