    This one will require a bit of thought. I'll just nominate Gorecki by Lamb for this year's outing. It's nice when anticipation and execution actually match up. Rubick's salty tears of joy just cemented the moment.

    Excellent Stillill. Nominate something that I missed by ten mins. Rub it in. Rubick & Kepler are now going to follow that up by listing every last track by Sons of Kemet.

    Ive seen Lamb 5 times live, and was gutted to have missed them in this years B&S stage!

    I still remember vividly an almost acapella version of gabriel from the jazz stage in glastonbury. Amazing

    F**k all mate. Got to the holding page on my phone's 4G (actually it was 'H' - thanks rural Co Antrim) and Lyn was the same on the desktop. iPad barely loaded the Seetickets page.

    Entered two competitions so far, and registered interest to steward for Oxfam. I'm not beat yet.

    Don't need to.
    Elbow - 2012 - One Day Like This. I think I had seen them perform it at Glastonbury (on BBC), and said 'I want to experience that live'; several years later there I was, and the reality was even better.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,589 ✭✭✭Thundercats Ho


    Heading along to see these charming men this weekend to bring back the salty dog vibes. I might even smuggle in a can, just for old times sake..

    Sorry to hear that man. I got lucky for the first time since 2014 and hope you make it there. Volunteering is the best way i reckon, particularly if you get good shifts.

    That was the track I most wanted to hear. Flashbacks of a Fool was the movie, wasn't it? That, Ladytron & In Every Dream Home excellent then I headed off to PiL. Half-empty tent for Lydon but they were stunning.

    Yeah I had decided to get big into Roxy Music that year as I needed to learn more about their music. If there is something blew me away completely though!

    Thanks man. And royalties for the title forthcoming in 2/3 deacedes. Need to fit in some more debauchery first.

    Yeah they were brilliant alright but I caught the full set at RockNess in Scotland that same year which was mind blowing and Aphex Twin before that on the same day. I went to see a bit of the LCD Soundsystem set and the Bloody Beetroots set at EP during that Leftfield set, but made it back for their last two numbers which also had Phat Planet. :)

    Two guys from the band told me after the gig that EP had the best sound system they'd used all Summer. And they certainly tested it.

    Portishead Machine Gun proved the quality of EPs sound system.

    I remember the tent neighbours (bunch of lasses in their 20s at time) saying they’d not heard of Portishead, after that track (and the sub bass) I’d say they’d never forget them.

    Remember vividly how loud it was! The sound waves even through the crowd felt like someone pressing on you chest.
    I was speaking to guy who has family reasonably close to Stradbally, close but not close enough to hear it, until leftfield :):)
    I know they were the late act in 2010, so assume the other stages had finished but there must have been serious sound bleed into B&S!!!

    They're banned from a theatre in Belgium, it's an old traditional auditorium with decorative plaster, the sound level caused pieces of the ceiling to break off and fall onto the crowd!.

    Used to be banned from Brixton Academy for that exact reason. Let back in a few years ago for their Leftism gigs.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,987 ✭✭✭rubick


    Been mildly optimistic about still getting a Glastonbury ticket having failed in the coach and main sales but starting to suspect we won't be there. Looked at the off-site glamping options, last year's prices (including ticket) were from £3-4k so add at least a grand to that for this year. You could buy a car for that ffs. Resale or bust I guess. I just know King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard will be there this year.

    That’s the price for an environmentally unsound but deeply enjoyable far flung luxury* 2 week holiday for two.
