Is it just me that's not interested in Macca? While all the sheeple and lamestreamers are camped out all day in front of the Pyramid scared of anything that challenges them, I'll be going hardcore with all the other mavericks watching The Prodigy doing Smack My Bitch Up on the Other Stage.

Earning cool dude points of course!

The guy's 76 and he's still doing 40 (or thereabouts) songs a night. Phenomenal. Ok, his voice isn't what it was, but the same can be said about most performers as they get on. The bottom line is that it'll be the last time these songs will be played at Glasto by a Beatle. An event.

[Wooderson]

I actually think his vocals were tuned down in the mix. Very low for first 60 mins.

Well, any announcements tonight?

Agreed.

Hang on. Paul McCartney isn't actually good, but he's "good for his age". Is that what we're saying now?

He is, now, yeh, but taken overall, he's a legend, he's one of the originals, he co-wrote (with Lennon) the book on popular music

(welllll, there might be one or two other names in there, but Macca's is definitely on the front page, writ large)

The only time I meet Scousers is at Glastonbury. All the Scousers I ever met had two things in common. They all tried to sell me drugs and they all fucking hated Paul McCartney.

Look and weep.

People often ask whats my favorite gig. I can never answer its usually 1 song that sets me off in a set or  just a moment that sets it apart. 1.50 onwards here is one of my best ever gig moments with the crowd kicking in with the backing vocals, hoping for something to similar to happen at Glastonbury

His gig last night in Glasgow was described in a newspaper as the Hydros greatest night. A mixture of great sounds and raw emotion brought tears to eyes. 

I cried twice!

Real mixed emotions coming out about Macca. This is gonna be a real difficult clash decision.

I dreamt I was at a Hot Chip gig last night, it was brilliant. Plus I was in charge of looking after their dog during the show (he was called Huarache). I doubt I’d ever dream about being at a Macca gig, so there is that.

Horn section a nice addition for Macca. Setlist ain’t as strong as 2004 howevvs.

I had a dream last night that you were at Macca’s G2019 set and were having an absolute blast. Every time @Wooderson - who was nearby - commented that the set list wasn’t quite as strong as 2004 you rebuked him and said that it was better than any setlist the HChippers could offer.

Oh noooo, even in dreamworld I’m in conflict. 

[Wooderson]

Ill be at Macca, like 100k others next June. With an 8 year old on my shoulders throughout. Both singing our hearts out.

I’ve done a volte-face. 

This post was the trigger / catalyst / final straw. 

Last night mini-est Woffling (3 on NYE), Mrs Woffy and I were dancing round the house to the Beatles. Little un loved it. 

Done deal now. 

 

Edit: Mini Woffy is coming with us to the farm next June.
