My man, your own chosen avatar is from a show which gained a following by going out of its way to wind its audience up.

So is mine.

What year is this?

[Little Andy]

So to conclude ... it's 1975.

And no I'm not answering what year it is.

Genuinely laughing here at the turn this thread has taken. Boggled by the comparisons of Dizzee to Stormzy. Plus artists having the temerity to ask the audience to jump. Tell you what though if George Clinton asks me to put my hands in the air while he takes me to the bridge then they're going up. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Can't wait for Arctic and the lads to run out onto the Pyramid Stage, just stand there for a bit, mumble, look at their shoes and then, after 10 minutes of twiddling with their amps whilst the screens just show static, do that one about the moonbase.

[Hugh Jass]

Just caught up on ten unread pages in this thread... Christ.

It hasn't worked at Glastonbury the last twice.  

Hasn't worked for who exactly? I keep reading that their 2 headline performances were garbage on here yet as a big fan, I thought they came off well on the TV in 2007 and when I saw the 2nd one live in 2013 I thought they were excellent, granted Turner seemed a bit worse for wear in 2013

I watched 07 on the TV and thought it was good. I'm not a big fan but it seemed a good show. Had some friends there as well and they said it was great. Didn't see 13 so I can't comment.

Oh now you're just being silly old CG ? They could do that one yes, or they could do a mixture of things off of their other massively successful albums.

I hope he gives a big shout out or speech, and smiles all through his set though otherwise it won't be good. After all, I've not paid to listen to the tunes.

?

[Stokesy10]

Music is the real winner here huh guys?

Both were absolutely excellent. It's almost as if they were asked to come back and do it again after the first one!

You actually read them? I just skim read and pick out a post to which I can conjour up a vaguely amusing riposte

The 1975 NA tourdates are out - they look nailed on for Coachella, Governors Ball and Boston Calling

Genuine question - did you watch the 2013 set?

I was sat at the back of West Holts when George Clinton informed me "this ain't no sittin' down party, this is a gettin' up and shakin' what yo Mamma gave you party". Excellent stuff.

I know my skillset. If I overreach and start actually discussing music I'll be exposed for the charlatan I am.

I thought that many unread pages in such a short time meant something exciting had happened.

I was mistaken.

Absolutely!

And to which I shook my Tupperware of triangle cut egg mayo sandwiches and the bag of 10p pieces (to give her a ring just to let her know ‘I got there ok’).

I was backstage with Mick Jagger physically trying to prevent Miles Kane from walking out onto the Pyramid.

I wish you’d done a better job

[CaledonianGonzo]

For such a fit man Jagger's surprisingly weedy.  Kane shoed him in the Tumbling Dice and legged it to the stage, pausing only to harass a journalist on the way.

[Woffy]

He’s got delusions of adequacy that Kane lad. Although he looks like he could do a mean job of installing your Sky tv.

In summary...

A band plays live music. Some people think they do it well, others less so. There are questions over whether crowd interaction and the liveliness or otherwise of bands impacts the quality of the gig.

And something about Miles Kane. And Woffy's egg sandwiches.
