Gnomicide Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 1. Ray Davies 2. ELO. I've not watched any others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest17 Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Ray Davies Dolly Lionel Tom Jones I've been to those 4 in the 8 years I've been (all but '13 since '09) I'm not a massive fan to be honest, the field gets so busy. 14 and 15 were pretty joke coz we just brought chairs and got wasted right at the very very back of the field but you can't go and buy beers or out. I haven't missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 I've loved them all. There's nothing better. Highlight of the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Highlight of 2017 and 2019 has been the Sunday Afternoon Double Bill. RightBazza / Chic and Kylie / Miley have been two of the best afternoons I've ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry49 Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Lionel Kylie ELO didnt go to Barry. ELO just not the right fit for that slot. Jeff no charisma and then saddled with miserable weather and crowd. Lionel was amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubby Dude in a Tiny Car Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Neil Diamond - forget legend "slot" just one of the best shows in general. Johnny Cash would be up there - but aside from Levellers and Back to the Planet i have no real memory (or nothing that makes any sense) from '94. really enjoyed Kylie this year, but hated being in the massive crowd. tom jones - yeah ok enjoyed this one all the other ones i've seen i've not enjoyed at all, Lionel - thought it was a boring performance and kept losing the crowd, or at least i kept losing interest. Dolly - made it through one song before i could no longer endure being crushed in the crowd. Brian Wilson - just found it kinda sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woffy Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Leonard Cohen too legendary in 2008 to be the official legend. But man that was gooood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantkatestacks Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 1. Lionel 2. Tom 3. Kenny 4. Dolly 5. Kylie (got heat exhaustion and a kind security guard hoiked me over the barrier like a sack of potatoes) Didnt go to the others even though I was onsite for Johnny Cash which is my biggest regret. Ray I was lying under a fan and far too hot - also regret that. Saw some of Shirley on the way to LV to get married. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalon_Fields Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Surprised how many I've seen: 1. Dolly Parton 2. Lionel Ritchie 3. Neil Diamond 4. Shirley Bassey 5. Tom Jones 6. Kylie 7. Barry Gibb 8. Jeff Lynne 9. Brian Wilson 10. Paul Simon (My biggest ever disappointment at Glastonbury) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watergirl Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 I was going to say Leonard Cohen, but I guess he is not considered a ‘traditional legend’, even though he was in that slot. Similarly Patti Smith and Robert Plant. All brilliant afternoon slots. Of the tackier ones, for want of a better word, I really enjoyed Dolly Parton. Have not seen most of the others. Diana Ross seems a great choice. Now all I need is a ticket.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miserable weekend, it just about stopped raining that afternoon and she was bonkers. Didn't she do one song twice? Which year was it? '07? Deffo an Arctic Monkeys year. What I do remember is having a Glasto moment when leaving Avalon early from the best Billy Bragg gig I've ever been to because I wanted to catch her set. Before I got in it was miserable. When I left the sun was out, the overflow crowd outside the tent all had contented grins, all of the stall holders had turned off their sound systems and were listening to Billy. Just seemed like such a quintissential British moment and I just welled up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
