jonnythenotes Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 From that bloke who headlined last night, to Lionel Richie....(with a real live band.... ) this evening.. Real music, a real voice, real musicians and hugely entertaining, with no shock your granny language, and humility by the boat load, and I think it's a fair bet he won't try any Queen numbers out... Nice one Lionel and co... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is storming it though & he's got the top notch band I hoped Kanye was going to bring with him. Sunday afternoons at Glastonbury have always been brilliant, I used to go a lot in the 90s & its just a time when loads of people come together to sing along to some classic tunes, the atmosphere is indescribable. My personal favourite was watching Johnny Cash on a sunny afternoon, probably the only gig I've been to where my dad was a bit jealous that I'd seen it & not him.

Rich Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Brick House... oh my GOD how funky is that band?? Fantastic stuff. Anyone else noticed that the bassist has taped over the logos on his bass and his Ampeg rig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloudburst Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Lionel was fantastic!!! As is Paul Weller. Hopefully the fact that these real musicians are performing so well tonight will start to educate the younger viewers about what a fraud Kanye West is.

cloudburst Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I prefer the look of a standard 4001/4003 myself.....but I liked his tasteful playing. And his tone. CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBunny Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Awesome performance from Lional Ritchie and I thought the songs worked much better with a small band than the full strings/brass studio versions. Highlight of Glastonbury for me, closely followed by Paloma Faith. Both demonstrated a master class in how to work an audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cytania Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Highlight has to be Mavis Staples, although Vintage Trouble came a close second 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72deluxe Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Anyone know where you can get the George Clinton / Parliament set from? On the other thread mentioning Vintage Trouble there is a link to a big Vintage Trouble video but I was wondering where/if there is a downloadable George Clinton set?

KevB Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) But wasn't there a thread a while back on here with some voicing near outrage that LR was even appearing? Edited June 29, 2015 by KevB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one I'm still trying to figure out was the one with Mary J Blige, a red 5 with black scratchplate and ramp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 [quote name='Apothem' timestamp='1435590142' post='2810334'] Mary J Blige, [/quote] A great band with her as well, Lionel's band really on it too. That Kayne character didn't stand a chance with his Laptop (bless him). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
