Me for one. Best thing about it - about any Macca performance - was youngsters who'd seen him for the first time coming away raving about his set and feeling they'd seen the Beatles live. Because e's got the best back catalogue of songs of anyone on earth. And voice or no voice the overall band is better musically than the fab four ever were live. The rest of the guys manage to cover up for his vocal shortcomings and they're proper proper musicians. I'm a big Macca fan - I've probably seen him 15-20 teams over the years - and I'm disappointed he's not playing. But I'm not heartbroken because at the end of the day it's Glasto and it's I don't think I'm alone in thinking that t's rarely the headline sets that make the festival. Even if he'd played I suspect there'd have been something on the Park or lunchtime on Other or at Williams Green that'll be thing that will bring me most joy this year.

I realised after that it is him I can't stand. would rather watch Ringo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen him twice (his last two sets in the UK I think) separated by about 12 years. He too surrounds himself with good musicians (Jack Bruce, Gary Brooker and Peter Frampton in '98 and Gary Wright, Rick Derringer and Edgar Winter in 2011) in a necessary attempt to cover up his vocal inadequacies. But he doesn't have the back catalogue (other than the dregs at the bottom of the Beatles' barrel) so for me his irritating personality is more on obvious show and less easy to ignore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there in 04 and loved it, was bitterly disappointed when Macxit broke but I’m consoled by having seen him last month. He was ace again.

danbailey80 Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Speaking of Macca in 2004... Can anyone remember who the House DJ was that played for 20 minutes before his set? Having a google it seems he had a chap called Roy Kerr who did pre-show sets around that time. I thought it was someone bigger though like Danny Tenaglia.

Freelance Hellraiser is what he went by, but I believe that's Roy Kerr as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tevaburger Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 McCartney in 04 was as big as a 'get' at the time as the Stones was in '13. He obviously plays far more live now and appears at more festivals, but back in 2004 that was a huge booking. and he was brilliant (occasional awkward banter aside), just a memorable set. 15 yrs would have been the perfect time gap between Glasto sets.

CaledonianGonzo Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Back in 2004 the ratio of 2 hours 58 minutes of legendary jams to 2 minutes of aimless patter was too much for me to bear so I stormed off in a huff to watch Hard-Fi instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was still only getting back on the road in 04. Hadn't toured in 10 years up to 2002 ish. Some of the bantz was shite yeah but still a great gig. Saw him in 2003 and he was better at Glasto in 04, better again when I saw him in 09 and better again last time I saw him in 2016. Voice a bit weaker granted. He has nearly played as many gigs from Glasto 04 to now as he did from the time the Beatles broke up to Glasto. If hes not on for 2020 someone has dropped a bollock. Considering he already said he would do it if asked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Macca’s stage patter is as much a part of the show as Eleanor Rigby or singing Hey Jude for 84 minutes. Just embrace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
