David Byrne in Glasgow tonight, incredible performance!! Saw the American utopia tour , this was next level, for a talking heads fan this was as near perfect as you’d hope for. Kinda speachless as we were leaving the venue

Saw him in London earlier this week, one of the best live music shows I’ve ever seen. His voice is still incredible!

I also saw Glasgow first night as well as his American Utopia show 2018 (Royal Concert Hall not Hydro). Agreed 100%. Looking forward to his Scottish return in July, this time in Edinburgh (3 nights at the Playhouse theatre sold out already).

 

Think the OP posted in the wrong thread, though (should have been in the Live gigs thread).

Interesting that I actually enjoy a gig at the Other and don’t agree with the hate it sometimes gets that out of all the festivals only two festivals get into my top 5

1. Prodigy (2009)

2. Prodigy (1995)

3. Travis (whichever year it was when it started raining when they played that song)

4. Leftfield (2000)

5. Clare Maguire (2011) i had absolutely no idea who she was, and i didnt want to go anywhere that early, but Mrs -TLR- insisted and i'm glad because Clare Maguire was absolutely fantastic.

 

🙂 

Whatever became of Clare Maguire? I used to absolutely love that Breakage remix of Ain't Nobody! What a blast from the past.

LCD were great they only did not make my list as i was far to muddy and broken to have full enjoyment 

 Top 5 "they were brilliant but i had ruined myself too much to enjoy it" would be an interesting thread

In no specific order... 2010 - 2025 (excl 2023):

 

The National - 2024

The Smashing Pumpkins - 2013

The Flaming Lips - 2010

The xx - 2013

The Olivia Rodrigo - 2022

 

Just missing out would be Wild Beasts (2017), Turnstile (2025) and Gracie Abrams (2025).

 

Probably the stage where I've seen most of my favourites on the farm.

No particular order, not sure how you can rank these things - 'I enjoyed that concert 87%, but that gig a mere 86%', and sure I'm missing loads but the ones that first spring to mind

 

Pet Shop Boys 2010

Orbital 1994

Kacey Musgraves 2022

Olivia Rodrigo 2022

LCD 2016

Pet Shop Boys 2022

Ultramarine 94?

One of those dates I'd be asking Doc Brown to put into the Flux Capacitor for me.

what night did Orbital play?

 

if it was friday then at least i have a good reason for not seeing them as i was at Levellers... 

 

to be honest, the only things i can actually remember from 1994 is Levellers and Back to the Planet, got f**k all memory of anything else that happened (i did used to do a hell of a lot of drugs back then... which are baaad, mmmmkay) but i know i didn't see Orbital but i have no idea why...

Saturday from memory,  which is blurry I admit. All my friends went to See Jah Wobble on Jazz world. 

 

I will also add the Orb in 93. 

I think that’s where I was

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
