I call bullshit on this setlist business.  I knew he'd be shit and boring within a month of him being announced. 

 

And he was.

Good to see you went in with an open mind!

I still dunno what he could have opened with other than Badlands. If noone knew or liked that he was fucked from the get go, regardless of what followed.  A field full of people who only wanted to hear Born In The USA isn't going to give much of a fiddlers even if he had played Backstreets and Rosalita.

Well he opened with Coma Girl. Which was odd. Could've opened with USA on the 12 string. Still the best opener I've seen him do. He played My Lucky Day, Outlaw Pete, Working on a Dream, Seeds and Johnny 99 early. Badlands a decent choice is followed up though yeah.

However not playing Rosie, Backstreets, Jungleland, USA, Atlantic City, Racing etc was mental.

This doesn't chime what I heard about Neil Young in Hyde Park.  Didn't he alienate just about the whole crowd early doors with a 25 minute long version of something off of Are You Passionate?

Reminds me of when we saw him at Newcastle Arena a few years back. 

He seemed to go into a bit of a jazz fusion jam , we were on the floor but we saw a guy get up from the lower seats and shout " Rubbish " which everyone heard .

I wandered off after 20 minutes.

I was with a bunch of folks, pretty sure I drifted off somewhere a bit more fun when he was talking about a song for coal miners a century or two back?  (my hazy memory could have exaggerated this).

My point was really that I didn't know half of what Young played at Hyde Park and thought it was fucking ace. So it's possible to enjoy a set without knowing the back catalogue intimately, but for me that wasn't possible with Bruce.

Same here. When he played last Sunday he had a 90 minute set, and it flew by. Only played about 4 hits out of about 15 songs and the crowd was loving every second of it.

When I saw Neil with Promise Of The Real in Leeds a couple of years ago they pretty much just banged out hit after hit. Granted they were longer than usual with about 5 mins of jam session injected into each song, but it was never w*nkey and pretty much the whole crowd seemed to love it. He could've quite easily have done that same set on the Pyramid to a partisan crowd and had it broadcast on TV and pleased all comers.

Aye, that was a cracking night.

Reckon when Marling walked off stage after bringing the house down she was like "beat that, ye auld goat", so Shakey's like "alright then".

A lot of people just wanted Heart of Gold and Old Man for 2 hours. 

The last Crazy Horse tour got lots of complaints because he played harder rockier songs that were long. ?

The audience in Glasgow was definitely split at the Crazy Horse gig 5 years back.  A half hour long version of Walk Like A Giant sorted out the true believers from the fairweather fans.

Especially the last 10 minutes - which consisted of Arc type noise and lots of litter blown across the stage iirc

Id absloutely love to see QOTSA headline, I really think they are good enough and big enough. They also put on a killer show. I doubt its gunna happen next year but i hope so soon. 

They'll stick around headlining UK fests for a while and likely aren't expensive so I envision it happening eventually.

If there was a festival on this year I think they'd have headlined, if only cos of a lack of other touring headline options. Probably wouldn't have been one for the ages though, seeing as most would agree that the album was a step down and the live shows were going through the motions a bit, for whatever reason, this time around.

I could absolutely see this being a pyramid stage moment. 

I was there and loved it to the core. My favourite was when Josh saw someone in the crowd dressed as spiderman and he just stopped singing and said "Bring me spiderman." and had the guy crowd-surf to the main stage.

But as much as I love them and as much as I enjoyed their performance on both occasions I saw them, it just didn't feel as big as when Gorillaz came on stage later that night as the headline act. (Despite my knowing properly like three Gorillaz songs then.) You couldn't even say QOTSA were coheadlining. Extremely entertaining, musically brilliant, but for some reason not a headline feel to them.

They were light years behind depeche Mode and NIN at Mad Cool. There are far better bands out there.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury
