'Virtual Glastonbury'? Anyone missing the real thing?

[MontyVeda]

Only got bored with two acts so far .. Eilish and Noel.

I'm enjoying Billie Eilish when she's doing the dark emo electro songs, the lighter pop stuff is very average.
I had the good sense to not even bother watching Noel Gallagher.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

yeah... all she does is harp on about the climate... change the record FFS



</sarcasm>

Not tired of the cause, but some messengers have a shelf-life, and she's no Dame David Attenborough 😊

So here we go .... final day!
Shifted some old Denon/Wharfdale kit into the front room yesterday and hooked up to tv for that big sound ... working a treat

 

[MontyVeda]

I honestly don't understand how music lovers cope with TV speakers... I know some are way better than others but next to an average hi-fi speaker, they sound so thin.

I'm a bit fed up with Greta - I think a new figurehead is needed.

...by way of random thought 😊

To be fair; at least if she hangs around she will be another pair of hands to help clear up the mountains of crap (metaphorically and literally) that the enlightened generation of the moment routinely leave behind.

Another bonus! With two teenage kids in the house I really do get that full Glasto experience

My TV speakers are crap so I bought a soundbar. That was tolerable, but not super. I put up with it for 7 long years...

Last week I bought a reconditioned amp from a pal and lugged my big speakers downstairs to use with it on the TV...

(I have tidied up the wiring since then, and the tilt of the speaker!)

The TV now sounds... GREAT!

I'm feeling crap and don't have the attention span for anything decent so I'm watching Amyl and the Sniffers on the John Peel stage and it's the most Australian thing ever.

Paul Mc Cartney was on for nearly 2 hours and 45 minutes , which is amazing for his age and teaches the younger generation a lesson but his voice has gone and it was sometimes painful to watch especially when his backing singers were covering over his voice on many occasions.

Not my cup of tea music wise, but jeez, you can't deny the energy of the band and their music.

The mullets though.

That's what I want from live music, somebody ripping it out and having fun, loads of energy like you say. For proper musicianship and listening quality I prefer studio recordings, I really appreciate the art of the record producer.

I'm in the kitchen now with radio 6 playing Elbow which is boooring.

Indeed, so just switched to Jack White .... he'll rip it up.

I’d love it if they played the main stage but didn’t play their do their biggest hit. It would be a real ballsy move.
I wonder if they are contractually obliged to play it.

I 'm making it an Australian double - having watched Amyl & the Sniffers on catch up it finished just in time to change to the live stream for Courtney Barnett.

Saw Amyl at Rock City in Nottingham earlier in the month and will be seeing Courtney there on Friday.

Jesus & Mary Joseph and the wee donkey... that was underwhelming!

Not sure who looked more bored; the band or the audience... or me.
I'm sure they were more engaged/engaging at the 6music festival
