Al Green is the type of performer who’s already in the back of the limousine before his band have played the final note.

:cool:

dasdog · 25-06-2021 08:27PM

He's got the crowd in the palm of his rose gripped hands. Band are fantastic too - probably be beaten if you made a mistake in rehearsal though.

Reverend Green will be glad to see you, when you haven't got a prayer ..

"Cohn explained: "The first thing was go to the Full Gospel Tabernacle Church on a Sunday morning to hear the Reverend Al Green preach. I [soon] had chills running up and down my spine.

"The service was so deeply moving that I found myself with sweat running down my face and tears in my eyes, totally enveloped by everything I was seeing and hearing.

"There was something incredibly powerful about Al Green's voice in that context. Even after three hours of continuous singing, his voice only got stronger and his band only got better"

From the sublime to Robbie Williams. Three Lions on the mic turned nasty a few days later and David Beckham became a figure of hate in England.

I actually saw him playing a support slot at Slane a few months after this and his split his pants jumping around on stage doing Robbie Williams things. In fairness to him he laughed it off and carried on. To be honest I was so out of it on a load of valium tablets we found en route to the gig it could have been Robin Williams up on stage for all I knew.

And now Ed Byrne doing Oasis karaoke

dasdog · 25-06-2021 09:43PM

Concert promoters doing concert promoter things. Slane 1998 was:

Finlay Quaye
Junkster
James
The Seahorses
Robbie Williams
Manic Street Preachers
The Verve

...so much of what appeared at these Glastonbury highlights. The Verve were the only ones worth their salt doing their "final" gig.

Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 -

"music" includes sounds wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats.

Underworld/Orbital should be doing life sentences - thankfully the whole thing moved to continental Europe as I did for a while.

Tony Bennett up now - had tickets to see him a few years ago but he had to cancel which is forgivable at 90+ years of age.

Skid X · 25-06-2021 10:24PM

Bernard Butler there, fine guitarist and I think his solo work was underrated (McAlmont and Butler were great)

Suede were never as good after he left

Welsh Megaman · 25-06-2021 10:30PM

‘A Little Soul’ by Pulp - heartbreaking.

Always preferred ‘This Is Hardcore’ to ‘Different Class’.

Welsh Megaman · 25-06-2021 10:43PM

Barenaked Ladies.

*shudder*

Skid X · 25-06-2021 10:47PM

A quick glimpse at Courtney Love's Hole just now

What's quite stark is the production values from twenty three years ago - it actually holds up quite well with coverage and sound.

I do prefer a few hundred people in mid week concerts than being surrounded by festival goers though. It's like the music equivalent of New Years Eve or Paddy's days for one weekend. Give me multiple small gigs during the year instead.

Skid X · 25-06-2021 10:58PM

REM on BBC2 and BBC4 at the same time from the same set eclipse moment just now

dasdog · 25-06-2021 11:19PM

Seems to be better than Ash or Travis. I deliberately delayed getting to see Ash play a free outdoor gig in Manly, Sydney one Sunday afternoon in 1999.

OldRio · 26-06-2021 07:27AM

Sooooo... I never 'got' Radiohead. Therefore I thought let's have a good listen and a new start. I watched the full concert last night.

Crap. Utter crap. Winey vocals over a grungey garage rock sound. Dreadful.
All IMHO of course.

Yup same. Loada shíte

Creep and High and Dry are great songs. The rest of their stuff is very average to me

S.M.B. · 26-06-2021 01:11PM

For balance, I am very much in the opposite camp.

Not sure I ever watched the 97 set in its entirety. Should do so. Pretty much the same as the set they played in the RDS the weekend before.

Welsh Megaman · 26-06-2021 09:19PM

Evening Kylie

nomdeboardie · 26-06-2021 09:20PM

‘Non-classical’ symphonies, many of those RH pieces

Damn, TV Glastonbuty gets me every year, even when it’s (necessarily) repeats/compilations – vicarious festival going at its best

Welsh Megaman · 26-06-2021 09:36PM

Iggy Pop didn’t quite think the stage invasion through

nomdeboardie · 26-06-2021 09:38PM

Reverse stage-diving of sorts?

Welsh Megaman · 26-06-2021 09:41PM

Rock ‘n’ Roll!

Now can you all politely leave the stage so I can perform the next song.

dasdog · 26-06-2021 09:48PM

Why Frank Zappa never played this festival is the question

Never mind that, he never played in Ireland the fecker.

In fairness, The Bends is a very good album. OK Computer is over rated, and they completely disappeared up their collective rear end for me after that.

Dweezil did a few years ago - picking jaw up from the floor good.

Don’t know if you can get S4C over there (might be available to watch back on the website), but tonight there is a documentary about legendary Welsh electronic outfit Datblygu, in tribute to David R. Edwards who passed away last week…
