I’d have paid to get into that for them and Gong alone ❤️ All the rest would have been a bonus to say the least! They may well have played there , but not on the album . There is a documentary about that gig somewhere apparently . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were omnipresent 'back then'; one wonders why. Happy, heady daze, but best without them, for my money. I liked the track on the album at the time . " out demons out" . Don't know anything else about them . How bad were they ?😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I'd love to play there, but I've no interest in being a punter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my last big one was V in Chelmsford, so some time ago. I just cannot be ar$ed doing battle to get a halfway decent view and then giving it up to go for a two mile trek for a p!$$. We're old enough to just do it in our pants now. It's expected. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How bad were they ?😬 There’s a track called “There’s No Vibration, But Wait” that I was quite partial to many decades ago. But apart from “Out Demons Out” my memory seems to have blanked them out completely. To be fair, my memory has blanked a lot of things out as I get older 🤔 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was playing there, I'd use my most obscure bass and get a t-shirt done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never fell for it myself but thinking back, they could have pocketed some decent cash 💰 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casapete Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 So far watching on TV I’ve seen Dua Lipa ( really good), Paul Heaton ( great tunes but rather flakey vocals) and Sugarbabes ( excellent vocals and band). Few acts this year interesting me but going to catch as many as I can and hopefully some may impress. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the Strawbs much better, and we supported them at the same venue a few weeks before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smalls Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Enjoyed Squid... But not Dua Lipa's pop-dance-fest. I always find it a bit worrying when there's more (choreographed) dancers on stage than musicians - it's no longer about the music, if it ever was! Idles always great too. Shall peruse more when relaxing with a nice Penderyn after my gig tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have seen a different sugarbabes lineup to the “highlights” I saw on BBC. The first thing I noticed was how bad the vocals were. On one song the key was too low for the vocal line so it was sung slightly sharp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 We went to Glastonbury once. It was a deeply frustrating experience, we hated it and left. The festival wasn't on at the time. I can only imagine it to be like a special eighth circle of Hell when it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Just watching Olivia Dean on iplayer. Very good band, and audio mix is pretty decent. Worth a watch - not sure about anyone else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bland, lifeless and lower and slower than the original versions. I don't think any of them sang on the original recording. The band were doing a decent job.

bassbiscuits Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Thought Dua Lipa was excellent. Sugababes surprisingly good too. Most of their singing was really good but a couple of songs seemed too low for them to sing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think Dev wasn't much good as a bassist, he never plays anything particularly interesting. With everything else going on, his metronome like timing and simple root notes are exactly what the songs need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
