If you said I was listening to a CS I would believe you, I kinda don’t know if I believe much of it is actually being played live! The string section on Viva la Vida looked like a prop to me - no pickups or mics visible that I could see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdown Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 4 hours ago, Reggaebass said: Cindy Lauper On now and it sounds all out of time and tune, dreadful Especially, 'Time Out Of Time'. I like Cyndi Lauper (or have liked in the past), but that performance was quite a car crash in places. Shame really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bothering with Coldplay, but Jessie Ware on now and very groovy. Not my usual taste, but Jessie Ware was fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the first half of the set incredibly rushed. It wasn’t the usual slick performance that they put out and on tour they have big name special guests so it’s disappointing they didn’t have someone for Glastonbury. Maybe theyve headlined it so many times they’ve run out of ideas…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mep Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Shania Twain. I can hear bass but can't see anyone playing it. Doesn't look like the keys player is playing the bass line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mep Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) Is the bass a backing track? If so why? Running out of options. Unless the bass player is hidden beneath the huge riser. Edited June 30 by mep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mep Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 All very strange. Is this the setup for all her gigs? Never seen any live footage of her until today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 4 minutes ago, mep said: All very strange. Is this the setup for all her gigs? Never seen any live footage of her until today. Me neither. I’m quite surprised how her voice is in such a low register, and she seems to be struggling when things go up higher - the last tune ‘From this moment’ also seemed like it was being mimed too?

mep Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) Her bass player is Derek Frank, who also plays for Gwen Stefani. Maybe his visa wasn't approved! Edited June 30 by mep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She completely lost her voice for a long time after getting lyme disease from a tick bite many years ago, and spent a long time learning to sing again. I guess it is how it was left. At least I thought that unlike other gigs, at least she left the high stuff to the backing singers, and did a low harmony. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attackbass Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Just got back from playing for the second year in a row. Its bloody knackering but a lot of fun. Did two shows this year, one at midnight on Friday night and the other at 12:30pm the following day, with two hours of poor sleep between. For me it's a weird one as I never had the desire to go or play but it is a lot of fun and a lot or cool stuff happening every day. I could not do it as a punter though, I like the comforts of being an artist there 😂 As last year, I saw hardly any bands again. This year I watched almost the entire D:ream set of all things (mainly because I was having a lay down at the Glade) and The Breeders, which was a bit more my thing despite only knowing two songs I thought they were great and gave a very honest performance. I did spend twenty minutes watching a crowd of people dancing around a metal bug on a tank with Happy Hardcore DJs, feeling quite perplexed that of all the things they could do there, they choose that. Each to their own I guess! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
