addicted2noise Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 I enjoyed their set at the time but now really wish I'd seen Portishead instead, Third has grown to be one of my favourite albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Sitting in the pub and Mardy Bum's just come on 😁 Reminds me of the great times in 2013 when I gave them a massive fucking berth. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did nothing special for Reading and Leeds, which while not quite glasto was near enough a hometown show in Leeds (and they previously have done specials for them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portishead was my first headliner and still one of my favourites. Don’t let my son forget he dragged me away from this unique set to see AM. He has only seen them 7 or 8 times since… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't pay her presumably astronomical ticket price personally but Glasto would be an amazing opportunity. Not that I think she's actually likely, but hey. I was gifted 2 tickets to go see her play once - Yankee Stadium 2012. They were from a client of mine, and it would have been astronomically rude of me to turn him down and say that I don't like her, so I went. (plus it was free drink) 75% of her set was mimed, largely due to the fact that she is running around and dancing for most of the set. (Or, maybe there is a track vocal that is the lead, that she sings along with the track). But there were key moments when she sang live, mostly when she was sitting down to play guitar on a handful of songs. I have to say, it was VERY obvious when they made the switch; the live quality of her voice left a lot to be desired. A lot of pitchy moments on par with the Diana Ross performance from this year. I have to give credit where credit is due tho - she is in better shape physically than I will ever be, and there aren't many performers who could move around that much and sing live.

Festival Liam Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) A fully committed Weeknd show would be quite something... He'd feel like he would need to make up for cancelling on me, when he was meant to headline WH back in 2013 I guess. AM/Elton/Weekend then?

eddie_corrigan Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 i think whatever slim (ciggie paper slim) chance there was of U2 coming back you can rule them out now. can't see them playing as a threesome Larry Mullen Jr., Facing Surgery, Indicates 2023 U2 Tour Is Unlikely - Variety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having gone away and actually looked into it, I'm staggered how huge he is. I had absolutely no idea. I probably know 3 songs and that's it.

Jose Pose Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 I’m aware of a few weekend songs, but there is something about them that just leaves me cold, I don’t know, to me they just have no soul to them and hence I completely ignore him as an artist. No doubt a big booking but I’d be anywhere but there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhatADin Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Normally I'm a bit mehhhh about newer acts, but I really,really like The Weeknd. A lot of his songs really get under my skin and I find myself dancing around like a teenager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4AssedMonkey Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 OK, just had The Weeknd on shuffle whilst WFH. I'm 7-8 songs in and can't remember anything about any of them. It's just like all the terrible, bland R&B style pop that flooded the 90's. Cannot believe he's that popular. Hang on, Blinding Lights just came on. Something a bit catchy at least. Not for me this guy I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crew Love by Drake is one of his best, the vocals are pretty amazing. This was far before he was massively famous, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Blinding Lights is the biggest pop hit of the last decade. Maybe even of all time depending on which metric you use. https://amp-theguardian-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/amp.theguardian.com/music/2021/nov/24/the-weeknds-blinding-lights-dethrones-the-twist-as-all-time-no1-billboard-single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
