2019 Headliners

[Jay89]

I’ll stand in Flume’s defence too.. ‘You & Me’ was always there with me through so many hazy nights... ?

[Gnomicide]

So to those who went to Mecca last night, how was it? How's the voice, the band, the tunes?

Setlist looks more than decent.

I enjoyed Halall My loving...

[Hugh Jass]

Jokes aside, the second half of last night's setlist is pure audio porn. The lack of Temporary Secretary and Jet is disappointing, but I'll get over it.

Very much looking forward to Sunday now.

Did he play his classic album Ram-adan?

[Keithy]

Am loving he pulled out Wonderful Christmas Time. Few additions to the set list since I last saw him at Rock Werchter in 2016 

That run from Lady Madonna is something else.

That's what I meant by audio porn!

[jparx]

Aye that's a helluva setlist. That final hour on the Pyramid is going to be next level shit.

I'm not sure what people think about this, but here goes - Fuh You is a banger. 

[Badlands]

I'd be lying if I said Lady Madonna,  Ob La De and Hey Jude were at the top of my list of Macca songs. I dunno, appreciate he has to play the hits, but do we really need another run out of Jude?

[Gnomicide]

We don't need it but come the end of his set you'll be Na Na Na Na-ing with the best of them. 

[The Nal]

His voice is gone, he should pack it in, hes past it, he doesn't play any tunes I want to hear etc.

 

 

If he didn't play Hey Jude he would be forced to exit the festival like this

Come on Macca. Quite possibly the last major televised UK show. Time to do Ram in full.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Off to Merry Macccamas tomorrow night.  Hopefully we'll get Mull of Kintyre *and* Wonderful Christmastime.

Would be like the Stones not doing Satisfaction.

Are Blink 182 playing the Other Stage?

Full house I reckon

Everyone's entitled to their opinion on this stuff.  Just not that opinion.

[Badlands]

Would Hey Jude be missed if he didn't play it? Of all the acts that don't need to rely on 'a' hit, Macca has to be at the top. I mean, he could do another setlist completely to the one last night and they'd be recognisable to most of the crowd.

Suppose it's a piss break opportunity.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'd miss it. I may be in the minority but it's one of my favourite things The Beatles ever did.

[Hugh Jass]

I'd miss it. There are few things more life affirming than a mass drunken singalong.

Who wouldn't get the feels being part of 80,000 belting it out as one in front of the Pyramid?

[henry bear]

It’s always been one of my favourites of theirs too. I know it’s a bit of a Macca cliche, but to be in a huge crowd singing drunkenly along to it is a life-affirming event, and to experience it on the Pyramid even more so. It’d better not be the bloody Strokes now.

[jparx]

I concur with the above here. I'd also miss it.

Yes Macca has many better songs, but in my mind it would be like seeing Radiohead and they don't do Paranoid Android. It's not my favourite song of theirs and it's been done to death, but a Radiohead gig without "rain down" would be missing something.

[jparx]

And forget the na na's, the first half of the song is brilliant.

[Quark]

Familiarity breeds contempt. It's been overplayed and overheard so much over the years, but it's at that level for a very good reason.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Is it overplayed these days?  Beetle and the lads seem to be slowly drifting off the cultural radar.  The White Album reissue came and went with nary a murmur.

That said... it has 130m Spotify streams, but that's pretty paltry vs. something like Shape of You or God's Plan. Even Here Comes The Sun trounces it.
