BBC Glastonbury

Enjoying this Killers set. I saw them at Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms in March 2004 where they were the support to Stellastarr (love that band). Killers look great here.

Only just noticed that Rik (underworld) seems to be turning into the reverend Richard Coles

Watching Toots 2010.  Definitely some dark irony in him ending the performance by lobbing lots of bottles into the audience.

Mmmm interesting, this is only my point of view, but I always think the Killers are one of those bands who peaked with their first album which was superb and struggled to keep it up for future albums, although maintained a consistently high level of commerical success. I feel the same about Kasabin, Arctic Monkeys and Arcade Fire. Just my opinion though, I suspect it's mainly because I remember those first albums too fondly, and have been too lazy to spend enough time looking at their latest material.

Musically yeah I'd probably agree but those songs are better belted in bigger venues and have gotten better as the band stepped up.

Have U2 and Stevie Wonder been completely excluded from all of this?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Ezra relating this anecdote like Ken Livingstone reading a gas bill.

[Gilgamesh69]

Mad that people say this guy will headline someday.

 

"White singer-songwriter guy with a guitar" is like the most dull vanilla genre of music out there

Must be rights reasons, I assume?

[The Red Telephone]

Fucking hell. People moan about the BBC/ paying the licence fee. Where would have been this weekend without this cavalcade of brilliance?

U2 weren’t happy with their set so probably said no. Dunno about Stevie.

Bit like Led Zep after their shitshow with Phil Collins in LiveAid. They withdrew any future rights for broadcast etc in order to bury it.

Ezra took a calculated risk singing Casio

Also sells by the bucketload and the crowds love him.

It’s happening. Make your peace with it.

I’m hearing it ... that’s bad enough ... fortunately I’m cooking so not having to watch it aswell 

[Gilgamesh69]

Me in 2022 when Billie Eilish, 1975, and George Ezra are the three headliners

You say that Ezra, Capaldi, Billie ain’t going to headline. Do you not think you’re just getting a bit old and pushing all the younger acts down? Surely one of these lot you say are NEVER going to headline will headline?

and some of the ones you say will ... won't

seen ezra twice live and is genuinely good fun which is what people are after! however opting for The XX right now and blown away (seen them once in 2018 but this is great) - I'd do anything to be in the pyramid field once in my lifetime

Don’t you always call me up for using that Ezra video or is that someone else?

[Gilgamesh69]

Just wondering: which dance do you think the security would have learnt for Diana Ross, and what song?
