Cato Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Chic are absolutely nailing it at Glasto. I'm watching it live (hopefully uninterrupted by presenters) on iplayer, but I think it's also on BBC2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan0583 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Watching it too. The guy on bass is incredible! Jerry Barnes apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steantval Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Just watching it on BBC2. Awesome tight band , real quality musicians. Female vocalists - whow, I'm pretty sure they are the two original ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonBassAlpha Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Absolutely killing it! But who we would win in a pie eating contest between the drummer and bass player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] You know, I love Chic. But although the band is indeed mostly killing it I really wish someone would cut Jerry's thumb off. He embodies a type of player that many bass players seem to want to be but which doesn't interest me at all. Horrible glassy bass sound and, for me, overplaying in the context of what I love about the original band. Sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) There's something utterly joyous about watching older performers/bands, who must know their golden age is over, going out and not only winning over that massive crowd but absolutely slaying it. Best Glasto set I've watched this year. Edited June 25, 2017 by Cato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deedee Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Nike Rodgers is a legend - simples. He also has the benefit of not being the vocalist so he can have a great band and put on a great show, despite his years (unlike Barry Gibb). His guitar playing is still just as awesome as ever.

MoonBassAlpha Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I think Jerry is bringing his own thing to it. He knows he isn't Bernard. I think his tone is right on the money, and giving the crowd something to dig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mep Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Someone call the police. Chic have Just stolen the show. This was even better than their last performance here. Mark Radcliffe summed it up saying he would gladly pay to come to Glastonbury just to watch that guy play bass. Stonking stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
