Oh we love it over here, it's standard practice to buy a house by a school and complain about the noise at playtime, buy a house next to a main road then start a campaign to stop it being used by lorries. The most common one is to buy a house with little or no parking and then leave notes on legally parked cars asking them not to park outside in "their space".
I saw the other day that permission has been given to build homes next to Donnington park, wait until the idiots complain about the airport, motor racing and music festivals after moving in. They should have to sign a legal document confirming that they've been made aware and no complaints can be lodged for at least 100 years.
At some point the Jools Holland and Glastonbury threads will merge.
How many years of complaining about the mix or the acts do people endure before they realise it's not compulsory or legally binding to watch either of them?
Just don't watch or listen to the media, watch the acts and either enjoy them or don't, that's as deep as it goes for me.
Maybe I'm becoming like our own member Douglas Dad3353 as the years go by, maybe I'll plant some radishes.
I think that's exactly what he wanted to do, put on a show.
The majority of us here would be really happy if 100 people came to a gig and enjoyed it and wouldn't even think about that being the time to stop, if thousands of people go home happy after your gig still then why stop?
If you are bringing joy to people I say carry on if you want.
The Rod set was perfect IMO, I've seen him live and he takes a few songs to warm up vocally, you get exactly what you'd expect and nothing less, he's of an era where you put on a show rather than walk around to a backing track.
I'm not sure what St Vincent was doing tbh, she was having in ears issues to start with but was she trying to play around with the timing to be cool, couldn't really hear her very well.
