Regular John Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Decided to watch this for a while instead of listening to my extensive and if I may say excellent music collection. The thing that annoyed me most was not the pesh poor acts on display but the presenter with the dark hair alongaside Edith Bowman - offensively bad. Where do the BBC find these jokers?

Darren Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 The lineup is infintely better than Glastonbury. I could barely watch an act, here we have the Stereophonics rocking out on BBCi. Sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 A few too many coupled with a chance to meet a good friend, his better half and wonderful mother tomorrow perhaps, but Bittersweet was a wonderful end to the night and is a song which really resonates in the current climate. Enjoying a bit more of the 'Phonics now. I don't really like T that much but the TV coverage at least is slashing on Glasto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighusref Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 The Verve looked superb as always. It was great to see the classic line up and I hope they release a quality album to tour. It is funny to see a band that is (now) revered because of their weakest album. As for the actual shows, the presenters are all annoying, what happened to the dude Dougie? Oh, and Babyshambles are an awful band that came from the barely acceptable Libertines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewbacca Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Have to say the saturday line up is pretty gash. the only thing i`d really go to see is prob the raconteurs. and the feckin Fratellis 2nd top on the main stage bill, what a load of pish. I`m all for having Scottish stuff on show at a scottish festival, but they are ?$%". so much so in fact i`m not even gonna bother goin today, got a weekend pass when they went on sale ages ago, wish i`d just saved my cash now and waited to see the line up. Ho-Hum at least i`ll get Seasick Steve and the Aphex Twin tomorrow. and i agree, babyshambles and the libertines are both poor poor bands whose main claim to fame is the "get out of jail free" card Docherty seems to carry.

bighusref Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Saw more tonight. The Raconteurs, without being a favourite of mine, are a tight band. Great drummer.

Raconteurs (as stated above) are not favourites of me, but I think you would like them. Well tuned band that play "as a team". The Verve are a favourite of mine and they have had on/off problems with a guitarist (Nick McCabe) that is a genius but not necessarily easy to work with. When they play well, they are the best band going, by a country distance. Press your red button and you will hear their WEAKEST (for some bizarre reason, their biggest public sucess) album tracks.

DemonCleaner Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 they always show the same bands on these festival highlights shows and it always seems a tad dull.

cosanostra Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Footage is fecking murder. I can guarantee you, all Scottish acts will get superb reviews in the Scottish Tabloids tomorrow. Have to agree. I watched the first 40mins of TITP coverage on Fri night and it was dire. A succession of bland indie bands who all sound the same and look the same. There was one bunch of Scandinavians with a blondey chick as their lead singer singing about her boyfriend that was so bad I was stunned that they had a record deal in the first place.

Wattie Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I've been trawling iPlayer trying to find a clip of Rage playing, seems they haven't got anything. I was suspecting, as has been suggested, that Rage have not allowed TV coverage for whatever reason. Anyway, what a set by RATM. The only reason I went to T, I was in the thick of it down at the front and I'm in considerable pain for it. But what an incredible atmosphere and a terrific set. Feck the TV.

Patrick Bateman Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Am I right in understanding how great Scottish crowds are? I mean who cares about influences, future work or, shock horror, showing some music, its all about how great Scottish crowds are. A parochial embarrassment.
