Glastonbury 2016

[Deleted member 6183]

Anyone there?
Probably very few, and those who are will be otherwise occupied, so who's watching the TV footage?

Friday night and ZZ Top up and away, happy days!

 

[markjay]

Anyone there?...

My daughter is....

Acts included: Hawkwind, Traffic, Melanie, David Bowie, Joan Baez, Fairport Convention and Quintessence.
entrance:- free!
1971 | Glastonbury Festival

I'm slightly biased about annual festivals that have been around so long that they have almost become a parody of how they started out .
Puts it in perspective when one of the headlining acts on the Pyramid stage in 2010 was this guy.

The fun police are in then.

 

[grober]

I just don't see the appeal of pop music on an industrial scale that's all. Sorry.

I'm with you the modern festivals are a sham compared to the likes of Knebworth in the 70's

Floyd, Stones, Zep, Deep purple

Happy days

OMG. I've just realised that I'm now my parents. OMG I just realised I used the phrase "OMG". Twice. Three times in fact.

The only ones I've heard of are as old as me (Muse, Coldplay, Fatboy Slim, Carl Cox, DJ Luck & MC Neat), or behave like they're as old as me (Adele).

We have friend there, they go every year and love it. They were interviewed by the TV news earlier too!

Did Deep Purple play Knebworth in the 70s?

Maybe it was one of those 'if you were there you wouldn't remember' moments?

 

[Piff]

number one son is there.
I gather he's seen zz top tonight & muse later along with others
edit, muse just started

The Isle of Wight Festival was the first! 1968, my dad was one of the police on duty over there.

Muse in excellent form as well.

I understand that Val Doonican is now available on Spotify for the old grunters.

You don't go for the music

 

[Piff]

I believe a liking of mud is also a requirement. Son says he is now camping in a pond within a sea of mud.

I don't get why the owners/organisers have not put their obvious vast profits into infrastructure

 

[Red C220]

This was the last festival I attended (in 1987):-

The Highlight (apart from Alice Cooper of course) was Dumpy's Rusty Nuts!

But Glastonbury provides a very important function.

It's where middle-class white people go so that they can feel "cool".

 

[brucemillar]

I watched Adele last night. Potty mouth in the extreme. Switched over as her continual swearing spoiled a great performance. Asking the audience if they had managed to have a sh!t or had taken a F***ing p!ss ? Why?

 

[Howard]

Because she's from the wrong side of the tracks ?

 

[Red C220]

Clearly you've never been to Tottenham Bruce.
