Lizzo was very entertaining. She always looks like she's having a ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) I've never really listened to Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens but I'm quite enjoying his set. Perfect for a sunny Sunday afternoon. Edited June 25, 2023 by Cato 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and the bass player has a nice custom Warmouth bass! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trueno Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Cat Stevens defined my university years… along with… erm…Lynyrd Skynyrd. Really enjoying this stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) I'm really looking forward to Elton John’s last-ever performance. I'm not going to watch it, I'm just really looking forward to it.

Cato Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Blondie: Debbie's voice isn't what it was but the band and the arrangements are spot on and somehow the whole thing actually works pretty damn well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Debs is doing ok. Much better than some other footage I've seen recently. She's always been a bit wobbly but she can get away with it to a point I think The band is killing it on Rapture Edited June 25, 2023 by Mudpup 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I enjoyed Maneskin. They really got the whole crowd going. A bit samey but fun to watch. And Victoria is a solid bass player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise they were on, I've listened to a fair bit of their stuff since I first heard 'I Wanna be Your Slave' on the radio and generally been quite impressed. The live stuff I've seen online has been pretty good too, I'll see if I can find their Glasto set later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steantval Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) No improvement on Debbie Harry’s vocals since the cringiest at the I.O.W. 👎 My wife has already left the room saying Debbie is just shouting/talking and not actually singing.

oldslapper Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Grabbed bits and pieces on the tele. Lots of enthusiastic performances and responsive audiences. Enjoying Clem Burke currently, great drummer. As an aside, every year I ask myself “what’s with all the huge flags blocking peoples view?” Is it so their carers can find them? Bizarre. Anyway back to Glen Matlock and his lovely hair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I watched a bit of the GnR gig - I mean his voice was certainly not great but who is this mythical Axl Rose that people are talking about who could sing live? I have seen them twice in the 90s, I never heard it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddster Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Once the festival is over, I'll not miss hearing another over compressed drum sound until they mess it all up again next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I thought GnR weren't too bad. It took Axl a while to get his voice warmed up and it started to go again near the end. Rick Astley was great doing the Smiths stuff with Blossoms. If only they had dragged Johnny Marr over to join in. Pretenders sounded fantastic. Did anyone else see the Touareg desert blues band that played? Weird and brilliant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonybassplayer Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Can I just put things in to perspective a little. Some of these artists were at the top of their game 40/50 plus years ago. Around that time I could change the clutch on an MGB in four hours allowing time for a chat with work colleagues, bacon sandwich break and a ten minute scive. These days I couldn’t even attempt it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what have we learnt from that, don't attempt something if you can't reasonably expect to achieve it? Hhmm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vbance Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I was hoping to find some Wunderhorse on iPlayer, unfortunately no luck there so tuned into Jockstrap instead. Sadly had to turn off after 2 minutes as the misses came in to join me😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) I'm currently watching Editors on iPlayer. I've seen them a couple if times in recent years and they are great live. There's nothing wrong with the mix, but there never is with Editors. I'm not sure the new material is working live and I'm still sceptical over Blanck Mass' work on the production side. But that's a very minor niggle to be honest, still a great performance Edited June 25, 2023 by Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
