jonnythenotes Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 From that bloke who headlined last night, to Lionel Richie....(with a real live band.... ) this evening.. Real music, a real voice, real musicians and hugely entertaining, with no shock your granny language, and humility by the boat load, and I think it's a fair bet he won't try any Queen numbers out... Nice one Lionel and co... Quote

He is storming it though & he's got the top notch band I hoped Kanye was going to bring with him. Sunday afternoons at Glastonbury have always been brilliant, I used to go a lot in the 90s & its just a time when loads of people come together to sing along to some classic tunes, the atmosphere is indescribable. My personal favourite was watching Johnny Cash on a sunny afternoon, probably the only gig I've been to where my dad was a bit jealous that I'd seen it & not him. Quote
Hobbayne Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Old Lionels got the crowd going wild! Top performer Quote
Rich Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Brick House... oh my GOD how funky is that band?? Fantastic stuff. Anyone else noticed that the bassist has taped over the logos on his bass and his Ampeg rig? Quote
cloudburst Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Lionel was fantastic!!! As is Paul Weller. Hopefully the fact that these real musicians are performing so well tonight will start to educate the younger viewers about what a fraud Kanye West is. CB Quote

Hobbayne Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 He seems to have made an impression! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-33305940 Quote

timmo Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 I thought the last song by Lionel was a letdown Quote
merello Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Loved Weller's bass players Ricky Cheyenne(?) Quote
cloudburst Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 I prefer the look of a standard 4001/4003 myself.....but I liked his tasteful playing. And his tone. CB Quote
ian23 Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 yep real musos playing proper melodies..oh yeah and dynamics too..blimey. Quote
BassBunny Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Awesome performance from Lional Ritchie and I thought the songs worked much better with a small band than the full strings/brass studio versions. Highlight of Glastonbury for me, closely followed by Paloma Faith. Both demonstrated a master class in how to work an audience. Quote

cytania Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Highlight has to be Mavis Staples, although Vintage Trouble came a close second 😄 Quote
72deluxe Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Anyone know where you can get the George Clinton / Parliament set from? On the other thread mentioning Vintage Trouble there is a link to a big Vintage Trouble video but I was wondering where/if there is a downloadable George Clinton set? Quote
KevB Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) But wasn't there a thread a while back on here with some voicing near outrage that LR was even appearing? Edited June 29, 2015 by KevB Quote

Another one I'm still trying to figure out was the one with Mary J Blige, a red 5 with black scratchplate and ramp. Quote
lowdown Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 [quote name='Apothem' timestamp='1435590142' post='2810334'] Mary J Blige, [/quote] A great band with her as well, Lionel's band really on it too. That Kayne character didn't stand a chance with his Laptop (bless him). Quote
