Alison Krauss and Mr Page were good, with a top band too. Sam Fender left me a bit underwhelmed, but maybe just me. Watching Haim now, pretty good. Apparently Celeste is being touted as the new Billie Holiday, 🤔🤔🤔🤔 Edited June 25, 2022 by steantval 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven forbid 😂😂😀 Not me though. I've always had one foot in the mainstream ever since the 80s days of synth pop, New romantics and pop funk with slap bass etc. As for rock and metal, I don't think there needs to be any at Glastonbury as there are plenty of other festivals offering all that.

stingrayPete1977 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) I'm watching Olivia Rodrigo, never heard of her but there's a crowd full of girls from the age of about 8 years old and up singing along, definitely not 75% middle aged men with neck beards. (I've no idea what a neck beard is either?). Edited June 25, 2022 by stingrayPete1977 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I've no idea what a neck beard is either?). Me too - having heard her singles on the radio I’m surprised how ‘rock’ it is - quite pleasant though, with some nice guitar playing, whilst I’m waiting for the headline ‘heritage’ act - no doubt the audience will change a bit for him. I suppose the middle aged men (and older) with beards are possibly the same as the largely young male beard stroking audience I encountered at ‘prog’ concerts in the early 70s like Yes and Jethro Tull - it’s only when I experienced a Level 42 gig that I realised lots of ladies like them a lot - in fact I was astonished how many middle aged women went to their gigs when I went to one at Eastbourne around 2010!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpace Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I just watched Glass Animals with my offspring. Great band, bouncy songs, a violin bass and nice use of effects. Some quite synthy sounding guitar and some tremolo on the bass. Recommended 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit like the Isle Of Wight coverage on Sky last weekend, who seemed determined to ape BBC-style Glasto programming. Bass tones on most of the acts were undefined and just, well, bassy. Most of them you couldn't make much out....from what I've seen of Glasto, seems to be similar. Lots of Fender P's and Jazzes, odd Ric....not that the sound told you otherwise! Could the bass tones be muffled because they're mixing it to suit a large, noisy outdoor arena? Maybe they're having to prioritise being heard over nice tones. I think the BBC mix sound from a few sources as well rather than just straight off the sound desk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzyvee Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Most of the bands i have seen on the festival broadcast, i have never heard of. I have heard of HAIM only just because of on-line comments about the bass player's expressive face. But she holds it down on the bass so I Will have to find some of their stuff on spotify or youtube. 👍🏾 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think so.....previous festival coverage, from various channels, doesn't sound like now. Same as many newer records, bass is very low end thump. More probably being felt than heard.

Muzz Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Flicked through a few (Bobby Plant and Co I thought were needlessly fey), but Supergrass were pretty damn good, especially in front of a fairly bemused-looking crowd, most of whom appeared slightly distracted, like they were wondering where the nearest non-medieval khazis were, or whether or not they'd left anything valuable in their tent...the bass sounded pretty good, tho I'm not convinced he needed four of them for that one sound. Still, as they say, if you've got em (and roadies to carry em), use em... The Pyramid Stage is also memorable as one of the last remaining native habitats of the 810 and biiiig valve head...if I ever get to play there, remind me to buy one. And a roadie, obv... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Wibble Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Anyone got a name for Leon Bridges bass player? Is he just the gig guy or did he play on the records also? Anyone got a clue of what P bass that was also? 80’s? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I’ve seen them - including in Halifax, the night before Glastonbury - they’ve been stellar. As for the “BC out of touch” thing, I’m 58 and think Billie Eilish is fantastic and utterly smashed it. 😉 Saw her a week ago at the O2 and she smashed it there too. One of the best gigs I’ve seen in over 40 years of gig going. Edited June 25, 2022 by 4000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Supergrass support Foo Fighters at Wembley several years ago. I really like Supergrass, great music and nice blokes but I found them rather boring live. Disappointing as they were by far my favourite 90's indie band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
