Gnomicide Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) There was full on bouncing at The Hold Steady gig in London a few weeks back, I was knackered. My favourite recent one on video is AC/DC at Riverplate. About 1 minute in: Edited March 19, 2019 by Gnomicide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember 'tame' gigs like U2 at Wembley Stadium in '87 and Simple Minds '86 Milton Keynes that were bouncers, I was at one of U2’s Wembley gigs in ‘87 and when the band came on there was a huge surge in the crowd. I remember thinking if anyone went down they’d be completely fucked, quite scary. My feet were off the ground and when I managed to get them back down I was nowhere near where I’d be standing before. Took me ages to find my gf, who I’d be standing next to. Won’t be like that for George Ezra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeph1995 Posted March 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) This is another good one skip to 2:16 The crowd is bouncing It's a shame The Roses never played Glastonbury when they got back together, money speaks I guess though.

Anarion Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 No doubt that the crowd at Glastonbury can bounce in this day and age as well, just need to give em something to bounce to (check at 2:02): 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so I've only been going since 2008 but still, was a great atmosphere and a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember I was next to someone my age who was also there to claim good 'Springsteen real estate' and also wasn't as familiar with their songs and we were commenting on some of the song titles that singer-with-the-weird-haircut-and-odd-jacket was introducing...

Empire and Underdog (opener) were stellar that night. Edited March 21, 2019 by tevaburger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like them on record, apart from Club Foot, but they're a great live act and get the crowd going and have a bit of arrogance about them. I'd rather watch them headline than The Killers or Stormzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But... the Sunday's a bit weak, love Hollis Brown though, but the Friday is excellent and plenty on Saturday too. Is it lacking deliverers of bangers and bops?

You see that line up does little for me tbh. Would take Cherry Glazeer, Pussy Riot, Courtney Barnett....can leave the rest. The Saturday is especially weak for me.
