Hate Glastonbury but Liam Gallagher was unreal

Hipsters hating hipsters for not being hipster enough - but secretly liking it because others being less hipster makes them more hipster.

Must be my age but I enjoyed the Jacksons, like going back to the days of my youth. Not seen much but also enjoyed Liam Gallagher, Foofighters & Pretenders.

Absolute nonsense. Music today is probably as good or as bad as it's ever been. It might just be that you have to look a bit harder.

Couldn't agree more but it's in the electronic / hip hop scenes which p!sses me off as I was brought up on good guitar music and imo there's just a miniscule amount of good stuff around these days.

Barry Gibb is excellent.

Staying alive is one of those songs everyone knows.
Well done to the staff all dancing along at the front.

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Sun Jun 25, 2017 6:41 pm

Barry Gibb knocking 'em dead - a good time being had by all in the sunshine.

Good to see.

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Sun Jun 25, 2017 6:51 pm

One of his backing singers is a big lass !

Blimey !

Sidney1st · Post by **Sidney1st** » Sun Jun 25, 2017 6:58 pm

Its for people like Gibb that its worth going to Glasto.

The time I went I watched Van Morrison and it was a great show.
I'd never really listened to him before, but it was well worth a watch/listen etc.

Same with someone like Gibb, a proper artist /legend.

The Bee Gees have written some amazing timeless songs.

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Sun Jun 25, 2017 7:05 pm

Class is permanent, as the saying goes.

There's no denying that he (and his brothers, god bless them) were a class act.

ŽižkovClaret · Post by **ŽižkovClaret** » Sun Jun 25, 2017 7:08 pm

Haim have some great pop songs

TVC15 · Post by **TVC15** » Sun Jun 25, 2017 7:13 pm

Barry Gibb been great - Bee Gees were unique and as said above wrote so many classics.

Just showed all 4 brothers on the screen - Barry only one alive now....very sad.

Very strange to think they were from Manchester

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Sun Jun 25, 2017 7:14 pm

Another class act to follow, Nile Ranger with his band, Chic.

Looking forward to that too.

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Sun Jun 25, 2017 8:19 pm

There's some class musicianship going on that stage right now.

Stonking stuff.

TVC15 · Post by **TVC15** » Sun Jun 25, 2017 8:22 pm

Chic brilliant -

Nile Rodgers cool as **** - now he has written a few hits !

Nile Rodgers produced Bowie's Lets Dance album and played on Serious Moonlight Tour - which I was very fortunate to see back in 1983 and still to this day the best live show I have ever seen by some distance

Can someone explain how his guitar sometimes plays on its own?

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Sun Jun 25, 2017 10:44 pm

Just tuned in to watch him - I'm a drummer and even I can tell that his guitar is a bit off.

Mind you, it matches his singing.

Longsidebovril · Post by **Longsidebovril** » Sun Jun 25, 2017 10:44 pm

Loop pedal

He records as he plays, then loops it and plays over it.

SalouClaret · Post by **SalouClaret** » Sun Jun 25, 2017 10:54 pm

If anybody has tried using a loop pedal you'll know how bloody hard it is. God knows how he manages it whilst playing the guitar and singing. He's not my cup of tea but fair play to him.

Not as hard as it used to be.
Ableton can squash loops to same length and keep pitch on the fly as other kit can - he also has soundmen to mix / balance tracks.

I'm also pretty sure the stageside soundman does some of the "channel muting" also.

It's a cazy world where Ed Sheeran tops a bill containing Nile Rogers.

RingoMcCartney · Post by **RingoMcCartney** » Sun Jun 25, 2017 11:11 pm

A bloke on his own.

With nowt but a guitar and his voice.

He's got 10s of thousands of folk in the palm of his hands.

Badly tuned acoustic or not.

Fair play to you Mr sheeran.!

That Corbyn chap was sh1he. No vocals no guitar and if that was a white man rap then I for one am stunned at his attempt to be a white London socialists version of Dizee Rascal. In fact it was offensive. What next Teresa May blacking up and singing Swanny ?

The Killers won it for me.

A barnstorming set full of tunes.

Well, I'm lounging in a field ready to head back and the festival was typically brilliant. Flaming Lips and Speakman Sounds were standout performances but for me the real joy is in the festival itself, we've seen some completely bonkers stuff. Such a varied few days with great company and a few ciders. What's not to love?

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Tue Jun 27, 2017 2:32 am

How many individual No. 1s has this chappy Rangers had, compared to Ed Sheeren?
