Glastonbury 2023

Just Watched Rick Astley on iPlayer.
Showman,entertainer, and surpringly diverse in his set. Did what he had to do and more, keeping a crowd entertained, and involved.
Worth a watch,

To be honest, if he hadn't been in the Pistols, he'd just be another backing musician.
I doubt that many people will be watching just to see Glen!

Indeed

In a way, he's made a career out of being kicked out of the Pistols. I shouldn't imagine he made a great deal out of his brief career with them first time round. Everything else has been built off the back of that. Fair play, he's milked it for 45 years.

Seems a nice bloke though, so good on him

Why, their catalogue is fine for their fans but for a festival crowd not made up of solely their fans , its correct.
They only made 6 studio albums, one of covers and Chinese Democracy which was fucking shit

I mean you could say that about most headliners I suppose.

Take the Rolling Stones, I reckon the majority of the audience at Glastonbury would only care for half a dozen songs, same with Elton John tonight.

Its just the nature of a festival. Which artists could fill a set that the whole of the festival audience loves from top to bottom? Not too many.

Stick Oasis on the pyramid stage and most of the younger audience won't give a shite about hearing The Hindu Times or whatever shite they churned out later, they wanna hear Wonderwall.

It's the nature of a festival crowd. Go to a Guns n Roses concert away from a festival and I'd say a lot of people bought tickets for their gig because they know most of the material, album tracks etc..

Who we all looking forward to today?

Yesterday was amazing, I literally spent the day in front of the TV, from 12 dinner time to 12 midnight watching everything, had to be the best day I've had watching Glasto.

I know right. Very very odd take.

not if you don't like them much or know their back catalogue. Plus, they are bobbins

 

[Broken Biscuits]

Waiting for Depeche Mode to finally stop their Glastonbury spat and agree to do a set. Just one. Doesn't have to a headline, could be legend, just get it done. Top band live.

Thankfully that ship sailed years ago. They've never had to pimp themselves out like the rest, they’ll just stick to selling stadiums out around the world playing to their own fans.
