blutarsky Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Haven't read the whole thread - soz - but got to say for me the worst set was Toots - God rest his soul - in 2017 - hanging around the West Holts waiting for him with no music, having chosen him over Liam Gallagher (no brainer) was pretty rubbish.

MEGABOWL Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 The Cure were absolutely magnificent. Sound was unbelievable, great setlist. I wasn’t a huge fan beforehand but I was much more of one after. If we’re talking actual bad sets-Motörhead 2015. Nothing about it made any sense to anyone. Suede, Pyramid, 2003. Normally a great live band but they were really off colour. Bretts constant desperate exhortations to the crowd for a reaction were excruciating to watch. Morrissey 2011. As grey and miserable an evening as Glastonbury has ever had. Credit to his band though for ruthless consistency. There doesn’t seem to be a Smiths song they can’t drain all the life from. Primal Scream, Pyramid, 2013. I’m not convinced anyone on stage (bar HAIM) or in the field enjoyed that. The sub slot is tricky at the best of times but they really crashed and burned.

Got all the respect in the world for Lemmy continuing to do the thing he loved right up until the end, but yeah, he was clearly well past it by then, looked incredibly frail, and even sung Ace of Spades over a completely different song. Was all very sad to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got to be the worst backing band of any of the major artists. I can only assume he's picked them because they manage to make the Smiths songs sound awful. That would be a very Morrissey thing wouldn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you by any chance Scottish? I've always associated the word jobby with jocks for some reason. Possibly a Billy Connelly thing. Northern, but not Scottish. A fan of Mr Connolly though, and Trainspotting (which had a fair bit of jobby-related action!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WORST band of any solo star. I'd say he likes them because they don't question him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no Fell In Love With A Girl? (Which I get the feeling Jack hates, but whatever) It could have been great but it was merely good. Wow did we have different perspectives. I was quite in the crowd there and they went down an absolute storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinhead Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Walked up from Gate C where I was working that year and watched from the 'peep hole where you can look through from Muddy Lane directly into the Pyramid'.

Somto Unigwe Raphael Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 The Killers 2019. I wasn’t there but I know it was. Also Muse 2016 when they played The Globalist for half an hour. And James 2016 when the frontman spent all set crowdsurfing like a plank of wood.

To be honest I only saw the end really, went to that Damon Albarn Syrian Orchestra thing because of the delayed start. I just remember his crowdsurfing looking really funny when we came back. At least we saw Laid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone was wet and miserable (due to brevity vote) which certainly affected the vibe but we still enjoyed. Ten times better this year with the new line up though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
