clarkete Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Hey I think you're all very mean to the poor old bean. Barclays are and mostly have been a bunch of mercenary b*st*rds, so if an old hippy wants to have a pop at them (even with potentially questionable logic) then I'm all for it. Rather that than everyone turning into corporate ****suckers as seems to be so prevalent these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to point out that the thinking needs to expand beyond that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zahidf Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I'm not 100% how it works, but I read somewhere that he does carbon neutral touring, the same way radiobead does for their tours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to really address the damage caused by fossil fuels is to stop using fossil fuels. We all (me included) try to avoid our own contribution to the problem.

DarthSaul Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 The guys also sitting on a net worth of $65 million according to google, he can go further than carbon neutral if it was that important to him. (I say this with no knowledge of how the guy spends his money..) I just think it's a silly thing to kick up a fuss about unless he's entirely dedicated.

Hugh Jass Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Has anyone asked what Bob thinks of all this? I've heard he's a massive fan of Barclays and only agreed to do the show when he heard they were sponsoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure. I still remember that Barclays were *rseholes in the eighties (apartheid) and that continues up to Greenpeace being outside their offices this year (oil).

RaphPH Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Watched The Pretty Things live last night and David Gilmour popped up... He'd be an instant Dad Rock sellout for BST - and only seems to have done some RAH shows lately after his big tour... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Waters wasn’t an instant sellout at Hyde Park I can’t imagine Gilmour would be. He’d be a good booking nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d be a good booking nonetheless. I genuinely think David Gilmour may be finished with his own music career. He closed his blog which had been running for about 12 - 13 years non-stop and his long-standing band turned into a bit of a mash-up by the end of Rattle That Lock. David Gilmour supported by Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets would be outstanding, however. Make it happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaphPH Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Has this completely disappeared from sale? No ticket links are valid currently - also will they take all the branding etc down or will they just cover it up but all stalls etc remain the same - sounds like a headache for organisers.

You can buy them on AXS. https://www.axs.com/uk/events/357515/bob-dylan-and-his-band-neil-young-promise-of-the-real-hyde-park-tickets I haven't been since last year, but I don't remember the Barclaycard advertising being that prominent, unlike Hard Rock (which kind of ruined some official releases like Paul Simon's IMO).

In the VIP area all the parasols are Barclays branded, everywhere the ATM machines are Barclays and the signs to find them, they have some attraction thing where you can sit on a table elevated in the air which i think is Barclays.. there's probably more that are blatant but we don't pick up on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
