Amy Lawn Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Weird. Johnny Cash was well trendy for the rock kids when I was a teenager, and most of the kids was rock kids. Probably on account of his late-career renaissance, NIN cover, and Walk The Line film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it definitely looks like someone has him, but i don't know who. My guesses would be EotR, Bestival, and (probably the most likely) WOMAD.

eFestivals Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 here's a Byrne'd version of a TH classic. It blew me away when he played this version on his 'Feelings' tour which included the show at Glasto. (sadly it sounds a bit dated now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe field day if he is playing primavera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green man I could see, tho I do think it's unlikely. Less so Field Day, as it's not their normal thing and is a bit of a risk as a ticket selling draw for that; he fits Lovebox better. I still think womad is most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his first Rick Rubin album was out by that point but his McConaissance hasn't really kicked in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he would really suit Bestival's demographic anymore, I would imagine he would command quite a prominent place on the lineup. Would be great though! You would have to say WOMAD seems the best fit, he would be a good ticket shifter for them on an exclusive as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that because it's not shy of booking 'heritage' acts now and then, which where I was thinking DB would fit in. I'm rather stunned at how much extra interest in him there is now to 5 years ago - particularly when he's not really done anything in that time to get the attention.

I mean compared to this adrenaline filled, funky energetic brilliant performance. That was my third time of seeing TTC. It was the best i've seen them, even tho it was a more-stripped-back band. (as far as I'm aware, this was their 6th UK gig in the last 30+ years). I'm a big fan, but they're not the best live act in the world and each time i've seen them they've been short of slick. They're not a full-time working band, tho, more of a long-standing husband/wife-hobby-project. The first album is worth having for the famous songs, and 'The Good the Bad and the Funky' is very decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 i met chris and tina after a gig in Camden in around 2003. Jarvis Cocker too, who'd gone to see them (Jarvis took my pic with Chris; never employ Jarvis as a photographer ). 21 hours ago, stuartbert two hats said: Is there a video?

But the music is better than SMS, which is much too 80s in its production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
