Tazio Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 Due to the lack of Glastonbury this year BBC have put a number of Classic sets on iPlayer. If you’re struggling to think what to watch on telly tonight you can instead put together your own dream music festival. I’m in the middle of Radiohead from 1997. Stunning set of classic songs, before they seemed to started making the more experimental stuff. Quote
Cade Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 Portishead in 2013 was a doozy. Pulp 1995. Prodigy 1995 and 2009 both superb. Quote
the general Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 Brilliant coverage the Beeb being the Beeb !! Quote
Tazio Posted June 26, 2020 Author Posted June 26, 2020 I’m watching the coverage on BBC2 just now. That Florence from Florence And The Machine really can’t sing live. Quote
Nucky Thompson Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 Really enjoying the BBC coverage of past festivals tonight. Hopefully Glasto is back bigger and better next year Quote

I couldn't find Pulp, what section are they listed under? Watching Brian Wilson instead for now. Might watch The Prodigy but just don't know if it will cut it with not being in the crowd for it.

William H. Bonney Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 Turned into a Rolling Stones show now. Quote

Not a bad Gimme Shelter and the female singer had a pretty good crack at it, but every singer I’ve heard doing the that part makes you realise how unbelievable Merry Clayton’s original take was. Especially considering they got her out of bed to come to the studio in the middle of the night! Quote
Nucky Thompson Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 I love the Rolling Stones. Amazing how many top bands this small island has produced over the years Quote
Tazio Posted June 26, 2020 Author Posted June 26, 2020 Brilliant set from Arthur Lee and Love on BBC4. Quote
youngsteve Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 Been watching Orbital, Jon Hopkins and Groove Armada . Chemical Brothers up next. Enjoying this more than if it was actually on.. Quote
All roads lead to Gorgie Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 At least The Stones and Arthur Lee provide some proper musicianship. Contrast Bouncy Castle on BBC2. Quote

Sooperstar Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 Found Pulp, an amazing set throughout but goosebumps during Common People. Quote
Statts1976uk Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) Last night was the first time I have managed to see the Jay-Z set, whilst many might not like his music he certainly knew how to play Glastonbury. Edited June 27, 2020 by Statts1976uk Quote
the general Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 Was never a big fan of Tame Impala but kind of got them after seeing them here Quote
crunchy frog Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 Wheres the Ozric Tentacles set from 92? Fewmin man 😠 Quote
JackLadd Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 Last year was an embarrassment btw, Kylie Minogue, Janet Jackson, Miley Cyrus. Just wtf. Quote
Cade Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 Main Stage has been gash for donkey's years. The tents are where all the good stuff is at. Quote

Fitzroy Pointon Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) Watched Oasis (1994?) and the Cure last night. Was nice to see Oasis sounding and looking a bit raw. Like him or not, Liam Gallagher was a proper rock star from day one. Found it funny when Noel started playing the opening riff of Cigarettes and Alcohol and the crusties thought for a minute it was T. Rex. Edited June 27, 2020 by Salad Fingers Quote
Marvin Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 Watching Radiohead on iPlayer. Can't find The Prodigy. Quote
Nucky Thompson Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 I didn't realise Adele was really Catherine Tate Quote

Great voice and some great songs as long as she doesn’t get too maudlin. Bit disappointed she doesn’t have the usual Tottenham flag she has somewhere on the stage for her gigs. Quote

Theres probably another couple but I dont know there names. Ive ofter thought she'd be decent company over a pint until she hits the maudlin stage about how the ex's left her and all the shite she sings about and how all men are *******s. Hopefully though before then though we'd have grabbed a pizza, sealed the deal and she'd be on her way in the morning off home to write a song about a night spent with a Hearts fan who broke her heart.

Marvin Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Watched Radiohead, The Chems and Primal Scream last night. All great performances. Quote
Craig_ Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Jon Hopkins' set from last year is definitely worth a watch. Quote
fast_blood Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Watched a couple that I saw when I was there - bloc party from 2009 and Jamie XX from 2015. The Jamie XX set was probably the set that has stuck in my mind most from both times I've been. Quote
ecjambo Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Had a scan through iplayer but couldn’t see Chemical Brothers. Does anyone know if it’s on there? Quote
Cade Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Adele is a prick. Said that she felt like going on a shooting rampage because she has to pay the highest rate of tax. She was that upset about "only" taking home FOUR MILLION QUID in a single year after tax. Quote

Tazio Posted June 28, 2020 Author Posted June 28, 2020 That’s Bowie on now. Good glass of red and volume on the telly cranked up. Masterful and what a backing band! Quote
Sooperstar Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 I don't really get Bowie. Most of the songs just pass me by. Quote

Tazio Posted June 28, 2020 Author Posted June 28, 2020 From Little Wonder to Golden Years seamlessly. What an incredible backing band. My only regret is that the only time I saw him live was the Serious Moonlight tour, brilliant gig but very showbiz. I always think he’s better with a stripped back band. Quote

Was that the one at Murrayfield? I was too young at the time, but I can still remember my neighbour going, all dressed up in blue suit and makeup. I was only 5 or 6 at the time and thought he looked like a twat. I was too young to understand the scene 😂. Quote

The weather was awful though and everyone was drenched before Bowie came on. Sodding Thompson Twins were one of the supports, beyond awful. Quote
