[quote name='julesb' timestamp='1467634833' post='3084975'] Fantastic player. Only musician I saw all day playing a fretless... I forgot to to mention she had some sort of mechanism on her waist where she hooked her bass on dispensing the need for a strap. Not seen that before. Might be of interest to those here who have shoulder probs... [/quote] Yep, I saw her at the Barbican a couple of years ago doing the Chamber Music show. Bit polite for me, so I was slow on the uptake with D+Evolution, which is a smashing album. Sad to have missed the show, but I'm seeing Stanley tonight at the Jazz Caff and Giuliana later in the year - those three were the main attractions for the weekend for me.

Did you catch Esperanza Spalding? edit: I've actually read your post properly now.

Looking forward to the London gig tonight. Stage time there is 8.30pm, 11pm curfew if that's any help. No support.
-
yes, that's a year gone very quickly. Still a huge sound in my ears today and for many years. There's probably a legion of bc readers on the edges of their seats ready to give recommendations if asked... (Fragile, The Yes Album, Relayer would be my top three albums)

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1467114431' post='3081250'] I think you're out of luck. It should be before Time Is Running Out and it isn't. The iplayer version doesn't seem to include it. I expect it got the chop, probably for the same reason as Adele's set when she f***ed up River Lea. It was the first time she had performed that live though. [/quote] Oh, that's a shame. Thanks for looking anyway. For the rookie Muse-o, what songs would you recommend from the Glastonbury set?

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1467102993' post='3081133'] It's 13 of 19. Go here....

Posted this on the other Glasto thread, now realised this is the better place... Can someone who knows Muse better than me tell me at what time Hysteria pops up in the set? I don't know any other songs and I don't want to listen to the whole thing. Thanks! Here's the iPlayer link. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p03xs070/glastonbury-2016-muse

Lee Poms gets around doesn't he? Can someone who knows Muse better than me tell me where Hysteria pops up in the set? I don't know any other songs and I don't want to listen to the whole thing. Thanks! http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p03xs070/glastonbury-2016-muse

I liked the bloke on Fire Extinguisher in ELO's Mr Blue Sky. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p03yk1r6/glastonbury-2016-jeff-lynnes-elo about 56mins in

[quote name='project_c' timestamp='1466985623' post='3080287'] Also I know it's a cliche to moan about festival toilets, but I'm a festival veteran and even for me, these were the most disgusting toilets I've ever seen. Yesterday, I saw a toilet with a turd on the seat, with an apprehensive cockroach sat next to it. It was quite unnerving. [/quote] I saw Apprehensive Cockroach supporting Blur at the Good Mixer in 1991. Crazy times.

Meanwhile LCD Soundsystem were on at the same time on the Other Stage. I've just watched on iPlayer, amazing. -
I was standing behind him in the queue for the movies recently. I said hi, within two sentences he'd made a willy joke. Good lad. He's great with Steven Wilson, and he was in John Paul Jones' band at one point as well which must have been something. He was ok with Hackett, but no Lee Pomeroy.

[quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1466509966' post='3076320'] Probably their most consistent album - at least from the ones I've heard - and very accessible. Wasn't it [i]Strangeways [/i]that the band themselves thought was their best? [/quote] Wikipedia says 'Morrissey and Marr feel the album is the band's best, with Morrissey asserting that, "We say it quite often. At the same time. In our sleep. But in different beds"' I can't remember which is my favourite, but thanks to this thread I'll give them a listen again with fresh ears after a few years away.

There are quite a few Smiths singles that don't appear on their regular albums, so you may miss out on some top tracks by sticking to Best Ofs or Greatest Hits etc. Having said that I can't think of any decent examples right now so I'm hoping someone who knows what they're talking about will be along soon to help me out here.

The Queen Is Dead is a smashing album.

Refused to gig last night - being unreasonable?

[quote name='visog' timestamp='1465482325' post='3068629'] Well you either know those two records or you don't... Think the Leprechaun might have had Anthony Jackson on bass? [/quote] Ah, they're from lesser-known corners of the Corea catalog? I didn't know. I shall investigate! edit: you're right - Anthony Jackson and Eddie Gomez on bass. -

Got to admit some of it I'd have NO idea what to expect, for example The Three Quartets Band The Leprechaun Band If I had to choose I'd go with, in rough order of preference, a top 5 of RtF electric RtF acoustic CC Elektric Band For Miles Electronica then anything I've missed with Steve Gadd. -
[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1465471318' post='3068500'] OMG really? There's a band called Velcro Pelmet up near Alnwick, too..! [/quote] Get us a gig up there and we'll happily play as "The London Velcro Pelmet"

[quote name='PaulGibsonBass' timestamp='1465462825' post='3068369'] What can we do? They don't seem to want to discuss it, we can't force them to change their name, we haven't registered the name so I guess we have no legal right to it. Any one else ever been in this situation? [/quote] My current band is called Velcro Pelmet, so no. Get all your mates to get in touch with them assuming they're you. eg "Can't wait to see you at *upcoming venue you're playing*!", "Really liked *your song here*, hope you play it next time!" "Your drummer *insert name* is really hot, is he single? let him know I'll be at your next on *insert date*" etc

He's a young-looking chap, but it's his 75th. Good going! I'm sure I'll do something similar in [s]fifty[/s] [s]forty[/s] *looks at calendar, swears* years time -
I watched it with the sound through the stereo and it was just about ok. What wasn't so ok was [a] Space Oddity shoe-horned into Planet Earth and [b] so much footage of the middle-aged mums in the audience with their clapping out of time and dad dancing. Now I'm not averse to middle age mums as any passing glance at my internet history will suggest, but you know etc etc. I liked John's 5-string in New Moon On Monday. Any idea what it was?
