Off Topic Glasto

Royal Blood have been my favourites so far.

Going to watch them too, supported by At The Drive-in!

Same here. Could take or leave last night's headliners. Resoundingly passable, but Royal Blood were great

I like that the drummer is called Ben Thatcher. Not that one.

I watched from the beginning lots of great music...The Blossoms were brilliant and First Aid Kit have two lovely ladies and some great harmonies...Not so sure about Royal Blood although I noticed the drummers bass drum skin has a tiger on it....are we in a sponsorship deal with them as well now? Radiohead were on too late for me...not sure if I will catch up on them.
As an interesting aside...one of the first Glasto's had T Rex headlining..they had no money so they got paid in Milk. Marc was quite happy with that apparently but they never said how much they were given!

I do like First Aid Kit

I liked that he was absolutely on it musically, but couldn't quite decide whether Mike Kerr was on it chemically. I thought it was part of their dynamic, but my missus thought he was off his tits...

In the moment......

Precisely. I thought it was part cool-kid act and part being **** scared at performing to thousands of people, but he might have been out of the moment so to speak

I never knew this version of the Foo Fighters song existed, and it's magnificent...

I know they've written a lot of classics but Christ it's hard work listening to Gibbo,

 

[armchairfan]

Just sat through an hour of absolute dirge now known as Radiohead.

When did they get so pretentious and well, utterly ****e?

It's just noise, absolutely awful.

The Bends it ain't.

After Kid A (2000) they certainly did albums with no redeeming features.

 

[TIGERSCAVE]

Looking forward to the Chic / Nile Rodgers set...

Not having that Chazz

The only thing that kept me watching was the backing singers knockers. Superb.

He needs a mouth to fit his teeth, or vice versa.

One of the blokes at work, in his forties, is a Leeds supporter, he's originally from Leeds, still has the accent, and is a top bloke, that I have absolutely no issue with. On the other hand one of the others, mid fifties, is a Rervers and Manchester Utd fan, born and bred in Hull. **** the **** off!

Cannot make up my mind as to whether he should close the book on the Bee Gees chapter, (I know that he will never be able to no more than Paul McCartney/Ringo Starr can close the book on being Beatles), and concentrate on the writing side of things, or carry on and bathe in the glory of being a member of a former Super Group. I don't think the songwriting abilities of the brothers Gibb have been fully appreciated but if you look at the time they were writers the opposition was formidable. Not to mention Lennon/McCartney, you can also include George Harrison, Jagger/Richards, The Eagles, The Beach Boys, Ray Davis, David Bowie, Elton John, Neil Diamond, Bob Dylan, Holland Dozier Holland, Goffin-King, Paul Simon, I've barely scratched the surface but I think you may get the drift.

Best so far for me was Hamilton Leithauser by a running mile. The ex singer of The Walkmen. New solo album out. Brilliant songs, immense performance.
