incident Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) 18 minutes ago, stuartbert two hats said: Bit subjective that one. The answer is probably Bowie, although some of it was broadcast even at the time. Thing is, I'm pretty sure that every headliner from 95 onwards has had at least some of their set shown (even Neil Young), so if the question is taken at face value it has to be more than 25 years ago. I'm wondering if the word "sub" was missed off, in which case it makes more sense and alanr has it correct - Cohen was the best thing I've ever seen on that stage by a mile and not even recorded let alone shown.

However I think it's with him to move forward with the next question. Agreed there could be many arguments over the 'finest performance' but 'finest headline performance that was not broadcast' was a bit more specific. I think that Cohen blocked it being broadcast because he was having a spat with his agent or former agent over royalties. As @incident says Cohen was the best thing I've ever seen on that stage by a mile and not even recorded let alone shown.

alanr Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Thanks, I knew he played the Big Chill in 2008, I thought Glastonbury was the year before not just a few months before. I remember seeing a band at 12 noon Sunday on the Pyramid, then at midnight at the Crow's Nest. Name the band. ( I hope there is only 1 answer 🙂 ) Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the name of the Scouser who spent 20 minutes slagging off Paul McCartney ahead of his Pyramid performance at the Mandela Bar before storming off then realising that he'd contravened the code and doubling back and asking us if we wanted to buy speed or hash?

Nor was it Smirnoff Ice. I'll give a big clue. They also have much stronger links to another large UK festival.
