Joni Mitchell. I think that's the phone call, and I'd be there above anything else.

Racist!

Are you calling me a racist?

Think he might be calling Joni Mitchell one.

I saw her at one of those horrific multiple act tours that my sister inexplicably thought I'd tickets for as a birthday present.  Safe to say she was the best in the night but with David Essex, The Osmonds and Hot Chocolate as the other acts, it wasn't a high bar.

She did a fine version of Rockin' In The Free World.

Never have the words "you shouldn't have" been more appropriate.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Hot Chocolate were fire tho.

Michael Stipe solo Legend Slot - a dozen backing dancers doing high kicks to Disturbance at the Heron House, security guards flash-mobbing to Wendell Gee....

You saying there's a chance of this? ITK?

REM will reform to do it, but only as a Collapse Into Now full album show.

Sounds about right.

I've stubbornly held off getting into REM so that I cannot be inevitably disappointed I'll never see them live.

I'll be honest, Stevie was the weak link when I saw Fleetwood Mac as a five-piece a few years back.

But, very much think with Sunday afternoon expectations, it could be a smash.

She was good the time I saw them.  Bigger concern is that her setlist does contain a decent chunk of largely unremarkable solo material.

Maybe I just had a rough night. My main takeaway was that McVie - Christine and John - were the underrated standouts, and that Mick needed less time on his drum solo.

Lucky I got to see them though, let it be stressed.

It would be interesting to see how she’d do in the Legend’s slot given the above. She seems to be doing about 5 FM songs (and not necessarily all obvious ones), a couple of Tom Petty songs, a couple more covers and the rest from her catalogue. Add too the fact that she’s not always the warmest of people on stage, but that said she is a bona fide legend and the nearest we’ll get to having the Mac on the farm

[CaledonianGonzo]

It would be a nice one to see and would be busy enough - but wouldn't reach Dolly / Kylie/ Diana levels of pandemonium.

Still holding out hope for Annie Lennox 😕

[CaledonianGonzo]

Just remembered I actually saw Annie Lennox live at the Murrayfield Live 8 thing.

Hope you were on someone's shoulders, taps aff to Ultravox and Eddie Izzard doing Vienna?

[CaledonianGonzo]

I think the folk with the Hyde Park tickets got the better deal.

That was all about The Thrills. Everyone else was unnecessary.

Seeing Stevie Nicks would just make me wish it was Fleetwood Mac playing.
