The BBC got the picture of the right person this time, unlike Dexy's Midnight Runners...Jockie Wilson said

The mullet on Kylie's driver there :eek:

I enjoyed that, I'd love it if TOTP skipped a few years and started showing some 80s shows in full.

I may have said that more than once on this thread.

I see they are squeezing in a few repeats of well worn old music shows next Friday after all. I thought they would have showed live coverage from Glasto all night.

Bit of a waste when they send most of the BBC down to cover it. Ah well.

I saw Billy Joel live once. I think it was in Croke Park.

It was a good show, but I was really impressed with his punctuality. He started on the dot of 8pm and slagged off the people who wandered in late (probably the Dubs

)

Do you have the interactive red button over yonder the Irish Sea, my friend?

Usually about 5 or 6 acts with their full set - same on BBC2

No, Sky Ireland has the red button but the cable TV doesn't support the Red Button unfortunately.

But there's always an internet stream, if you know where to look!

I remember seeing Blur in the RDS in 1996 ish ... Damon had Terry Hall on stage to sing this ...

I was one of about 17 people out of 30,000 who knew who he was.

Out of his numerous incarnations, I always enjoyed this collaboration

Great clip Skid, although it looks strange to see the audience practically stationary...get skanking!

ha, yeah mostly vacant looks and a few people clapping along out of time - it was like the French had got a Late Late Show audience on an exchange trip or something!

Here's Rudy!

Ah, Barry - he used to be on the BBC all the time. Now he doesn't bother.

Funny how he sang "I write the songs" but he didn't actually write the song.

Ah well.

Or do they not bother since Nelson got out.

Was it in the mid 90s Skid. It could have been the RDS.

It was the Croke Park gig in 2006 I was at, sligojoek. I remember Peter Kay doing a warm up before the show. I don't think he was billed at all but he did a nice little set which went down well.

I think it's quite common in America for comedians to do support for singers but it's the only one I remember attending here.

I enjoyed the concert, Billy put on a great show. Piano Man last song in the encore, very nice.

Croke Park, Phoenix Park, Marlay Park, RDS, it's still rock and roll to me :cool:

Heyday TV are showing Cream at 2 pm followed by prog on Led Zep 1

It's mostly Glastonbury this weekend. The BBC spend a fortune on their coverage every year, thanks to the unique way they are funded, and they usually do a decent job

There is a decent listing of the BBC's TV and Radio coverage (including the Red Button) here http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/glastonbury/10920706/Glastonbury-2014-how-to-watch-it-on-TV-and-radio.html

and they also have a new show at Midnight which I haven't seen before

Midnight Sound It Out

A film following daily life at one of the last trading vinyl record shops in the UK. Over the past five years, a shop of this kind has closed every three days, yet the store in Teesside still manages to thrive against the odds thanks to the support of the local community and the important role that music plays in their lives

and then

2am Sounds of the Eighties

Showcasing a selection of musical performances from the BBC archives, including Dexy's Midnight Runners, Eurythmics, Spandau Ballet, Phil Collins, Fine Young Cannibals, Tears for Fears, Suzanne Vega and Simply Red

Sunday
7pm Dolly Parton - Platinum Blonde

The life and career of one of the best-loved country singer-songwriters, whose prolific career has seen her reach superstar status. Interviews with Dolly, family members and producers chart her road to fame, from the early years in Nashville to her own theme park Dollywood and her role as one of the most successful pioneering women in a male-dominated industry. With contributions by Lily Tomlin, Norah Jones, Jonathan Ross, Alison Krauss, Billy Connolly and Kenny Rogers

8pm Queens of Country

Documentary profiling the most influential female country singers of the 1960s and 1970s, examining the backgrounds behind their music. The programme tells the stories of Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, Bobbie Gentry, Loretta Lynn, Tanya Tucker and Dolly Parton, featuring a selection of classic archive performances. With contributions from Jack White, Billy Connolly, LeAnn Rimes, Lauren Laverne, Crystal Gayle, George Jones and Elvis Costello

That's about it. Saturday Night Fever is on again! Friday Night at 1am on RTE1

Also, Midnight Run is on ITV on Sunday at 11.30pm. It's very good and it gets in this listing because ... em ... Robert DeNiro is in it, and Bananarama had a song about him. I'll get my coat ...
