Memory is so weird. I have strong, definite memories of watching footage of The Velvet Underground at Glastonbury in 1993 on Channel 4, I remember the corrugated Pyramid stage clearly. Not camcorder footage, broadcast quality.

But it seems like maybe I didn't at all? God knows.

Was that the year when that "Glastonbury the movie" was recorded? Quite a lot of pro footage of bands on that if I remember correctly. An early song or two from The Verve included!

Hmm, I think it might have been. @fatyeti24 you've got the extended version of this film - did it have any Velvets stuff that you remember?

Edit: just realised I posted on the wrong thread!

I don’t understand it. We are so close to the end of lockdown. What are they playing at?

And how come the police seem happy to let these gatherings take place now? It wasn’t like this at the Sarah Everard vigil a few weeks back.

The law has changed since then. If veiled criticism is to be handed out  then then let's at least make it accurately reflect the prevailing laws and regulation. It was a legal demo. After this demo concluded the real hard line nutters kicked off in Hyde park .

Vaccination update:

A really high day for overall vaccine numbers, especially given the data excludes Scotland today. If they perform roughly in line with recent days could boost the overall total by around 55k

What's the point we're not allowed it for a billion years from now 

I don't give a shit about the vaccine I just don't want to test every fucking gig I wanna go to. 

Is the first vaccine enough to get the ol' passport?

Yep, younger people will take the vaccine when they are offered it. I’m sure most would rather hear about when that offer would come rather than being lectured about something so far they’ve had no control over.

Have you seen Disney are doing a UK-based cruise but if you want to go, you have to be “fully vaccinated” (not show proof of a negative test). I get the reasons why - and obviously a cruise ship is essentially a floating Petri dish - but could be be the start of a slippery slope for events etc.

Amazing the there was people walking round the town where I lived offering jabs to anyone over 45. I asked as I was 41 and they said no, but were complaining about having doses but no people. 
 

Now the government are telling me to get a jab?

I wonder if there's any proof of this otherwise it's easily explained away as 'lies'. If it's true and there's evidence to prove it then Johnson would have to resign.

Dont get this at all. 100% of my friends are getting the vaccine. There is 0 hesitation. I don't know a single people under the age of 30 who has even suggested they wouldn't take it. 

 

Either the government has evidence that young people won't get it or its a misdirect to get ready to blame young people

My brother just sent me this as he was supposed to be going in September.

https://www.harrypottertheplay.com/uk/coronavirus-update/

This bit confused me:

The producers of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, London and the Palace Theatre are committed to the safety and peace of mind of all audiences, cast and company and theatre staff.  We have been closely monitoring the ongoing coronavirus (Covid-19) situation, whilst also factoring in U.K. Government guidelines and roadmap to re-opening the country without restrictions. With these factors considered performances of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child are suspended until Sunday 10th October 2021.

I get doing those adverts when it gets down to younger people but it's a bit strange timing now, weeks before.

    • Yeah I don't think it's terrible, but it is solidly in the nostalgia category. Would be nice to see R2 get a little more recent in their choices, even 90s!
    • mmm... i note there are several derogatory comments about this... not sure what it says about me, but i could spend a happy afternoon here...   Simple Minds, Deacon Blue and Texas are all great live bands.   hell, i'd even be drawn away from the bar to see James Blunt (if only for a bit of a nostalgia trip for his show on the Pyramid that i admit i hugely enjoyed).   still, with all that said - there's no way i'm going to the other end of the country for it...   🙂
