Where’s the annual Glastonbury thread?

[Dave7]

A question. Do all the acts get paid the going rate

Do my eyes and ears deceive me? Did I just watch Rick Astley sing the Smiths greatest hits live and pull it off beautifully?

The most awesome thing I've seen.

Wonder how many peeps get the "LAMF" on Duff's vest.

I thought it said LAME tbh. What does it mean?

just heard Sweet Child on the radio and his voice sounded awful. And 61 isn't that old.

Watched half of Fatboy Slim's set last night. I may be mistaken but it looked like he was miming his DJ set... shameful if so.

Good job we don't all like the same...I'm no rock music fan but loved Guns N Roses back in the day.I thought he had the energy of a 18 year old last night ! Always amazes me how many people go to a concert and think it's going to sound perfect so to speak.Remember taking my teenage daughter to the Stone Roses reunion and her saying they sound sh1te lol...Yea that's what we go for...not a manufactured in a studio sound.You go for the buzz/energy to a concert don't you ?

I would say better then the Smiths. But I'm no fan of Morrisey.

It originated from Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers album LAMF.
Like A Mother F******

Neither am I but some of their stuff was great. He pulled off 'What Difference Does it Make?' beautifully.

Sadly, the Arctic Monkeys were just as pretentious at Glastonbury as they were in Hong Kong in March.

I remember Debbie Harry with that T shirt...she was gorgeous 😍

Love the music, Johnny Marr is a supurb guitarist. Just always hated Morriseys whining.

Everybody has the sound of the album version in their mind when they think of Sweet Child but you can’t compare vocals on a studio album cut over 3 decades ago to a live performance from a guy in his 60s who spent large chunks of the intervening years epitomising rock and roll excess. It’s also way different being there vs listening critically to the recording on the radio or internet.

of course we go for the buzz/energy of a live concert, but sometimes they do sound sh!te. Plenty of bands are more than capable of having a great live sound, but it's unfortunate for us ticket buyers when they don't.

Wow. I've not really taken any interest in Maneskin before, but their performance has blown me away. Absolutely superb stuff.
Not much gets me excited these days music wise being in the industry being around music all day evey day, but Maneskin are my new favourite band.
