reflekting Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) I've seen Arctics 7 times and Glasto 2013 was probably the worst of the lot. Maybe I had overhyped my expectation in the lead up, but I was at the back of the pit and the crowd had lost interest after the first 3-4 songs. Even Mardy Bum didn't bring things back up.

Brisket King Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 I’ve heard that Jack White is playing so could he be a secret set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfa Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 I saw AM in 2018 and was not that impressed, pretty dull live vs any other band just no energy at all. Seeing them again this year in Portugal and would defo see them at glasto though, they have the tunes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lees23 Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Hi, What seems like a lifetime ago I was signed up to a text service that someone was running over the course of the festival where they sent either confirmed secret set times or cryptic(ish) clues about the TBC's Does this still exist and if so where do I sign up?

CaledonianGonzo Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Just now, Lees23 said: many thanks 🙂 No worries. It's run by folk on here so not necessarily privy to anything that's not already made its way into the public domain. That's said, I think almost everyone got tickets this year so dunno if anyone is going to be sat at home to run it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have, however, realised how easy I am to please when it comes to live acts. Which is a good thing I suppose 😁. I think Friday 2013 was probably the biggest clashfest in the history of Glastonbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a great time that night. I had a good time that night, they didn't 'fuck it' but neither was it one of the best headline sets ever like a previous poster stated. It wasn't even the best Pyramid headline set of that weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great albums. Absolute pony live. (I’d still be there for a secret set though). Same opinion here. They are a studio band (and a fantastic one at that), not a live band.

I’ve seen them at least twice on each tour since 2007 and I’ve always thought they were mega live. Glastonbury 2013 set was class. Last time I seen them at Sheffield they were class. One of the most consistent live bands I think. What exactly is it you think they’re lacking live? They released a live DVD that featured zero crowd footage. That neatly sums up the AM live experience, that have absolutely no idea how to interact with a crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I'm pretty sure that was filmed and screened live (directed by Richard Ayaoade!) and was a fairly different 'take' on a live DVD which might explain that stylistic decision a little. Fwiw I think they're a very very tight live band with an excellent back catalogue. I think their 2013 set is excellent but I've also seen them and they've not held the crowd (eg Leeds 2009 just after Humbug came out). I'd be there and I'd have a great time but horses for courses.

Don’t need a lead singer to lick my arse to enjoy a show and have always found it a bit bizarre that people did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Chris Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Not a great fan of so called secret sets, mainly because by the time I discover the the secret and it’s something I want to see I’m to bloody slow or late getting to it. Or in the case of the Killers couldn’t get near it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
