Outside of Horace Wimp and possibly Wild West Hero (which I still love BTW) there's no flab in it at all. If I had to pick a top 10 from this, Mr Blue Sky wouldn't even be in it. Nothing on there from Time, which is maybe even their best album 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Pose Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 His set lists are somewhat strange: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/ringo-starr-and-his-all-starr-band/2022/arlene-schnitzer-concert-hall-portland-or-33b11865.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe more likely than Iggy Pop, but not by much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't Alicia Keys rumoured to be lined up for 2020 and wouldn't she be a cracking legends slot act? Too big maybe? Not sure about legend slot but yes it would be great if she appeared.

You could say the same about Dolly, but it didn't seem to bother anyone then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow I'd love to see Alicia Keys ❤️ would be a gorgeous afternoon teatime at the Pyramid. Doesn't suit the slightly cheesy slot it's become but she would suit that slot for so many other reasons Edited January 27, 2023 by Bike_Like_A_Mum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people expect the legend to provide "wall to wall bangers" it would be a very short shortlist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogster Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Van Morrison at North sea Jazz in the NL a couple of weeks after GL... (Buddy Guy, Jill Scott too but I guess not legend enough) (Don't shoot the messenger) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingbadger Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 It's been 13 years since he headlined and I weren't there, so roll out Stevie Wonder for it. Stevie Wonder -> Lizzo -> Pulp -> Elton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Wonder -> Lizzo -> Pulp -> Elton I havnt seen four pyramid acts in the last four festivals put together, so the idea of four in a row is blowing my mind a bit 😄 i'll be one of those pyramid field people camped out for the day with rugs that MUST NOT BE STOOD ON and a little picnic basket with pastry delights and cans of stout 👍 that would be an incredible run!

That said, Time is an all-time favourite of mine. The first album I ever properly got into and I still listen to it. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
