Glastonbury

[ClaretPete001]

Never mind before they become Chartered Accountants before they become miserable middle/older aged tossers who hate everything. If you find yourself getting wound up by Glastonbury you probably need to have a word with yourself.
Not in my day!

If you mean me - I became a miserable middle aged tosser without going to Glastonbury. It's just not interesting enough to get wound up by albeit I did enjoy the set by Yusuf Dawes.

Yusuf Dayes that should be. That's the problem with writing stuff without your old fart eyes reading glasses.

Being bitter and twisted is effin pointless, if you can't see what you are writing.

I did wonder if Yusuf Dawes was related to George.

[Clockwork Claret]

Enough of the tit for tat, eye for an eye boll0cks.

Its just pure disgusting and has no place. End of.

I don’t mind the music either, got a bit of an issue with Genocide in Palestine though

[ClaretPete001]

To be honest without my old fart glasses I couldn't tell the difference between the two, which is very worrying.

Apologies I wasn’t meaning you!!! Just the usual posters on this thread!

House!

Neil Young bloody poor so far.....hope it bucks up.

[Goalposts]

Seen him 3 times and been excellent each time , but the truth is you never really know what you’re going to get from the cudmungingly old sod.

Saw him at the Apollo manchester in 2008 he did 80 mins of acoustic and piano 8 till 9.20 covered all the hits went of came back on at 9.45 with crazy horse and played a full electric till 11.30. Still one of the best gigs ive ever seen . An odd memory is that during. The acoustic set their was a guy painting pictures on stage

Love Neil Young, but that was bloody shocking.

Awful sound quality too.

[beddie]

Raye. Absolutely wonderful, what a range she has, such a talented young lady.

[fatboy47]

Love Neil Young, but that was bloody shocking.

Awful sound quality too.

Always been a big fan but I've switched off.... garbage.

[Bordeauxclaret]

Pretty awful stuff this from Young.

Pub level stuff.

[dvalley69]

Always seemed a weird choice as a Saturday night headliner. He is 79 after all.

[Jakubclaret]

I don't think he's doing so bad taking into consideration his age & T1 diabetes & epilepsy & other health problems he's endured for a late Saturday night.

[Bow]

I think Neil Young sounds great!

[Upthe carrots]

Need to turn the volume up to 11 neighbours may not like it tho

[Swizzlestick]

I like Charli xcx but this is all very going through the motions so far. Some heavy lip synching too. Shame Lorde couldn’t stick around for the duet.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

A complete sh!tshow. Other than Neil Young who I've zero interest in given his game of hide and seek with regards to his live performance tonight being shown the BBC everything else is off

It would have been Scissors Sisters for me and Mrs

[Funkydrummer]

I think Neil Young sounds great!

Lovely cast, wrong fly.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

There's been some fantastic performances so far today, Neil Young isn't one of them!

[Bow]

You’re all mental. He sounds incredible! Exactly what you want him to sound like

[fidelcastro]

A bit of a potty mouth, isn't she?

[fatboy47]

Aye, ok.

[Bow]

Are you watching the iPlayer stream? Apparently the bbc broadcast is terrible, but the iPlayer sounds great

[Robbie_painter]

Reckon I could do what Charlie xcx has done so far.Utter shite.

[Upthe carrots]

Watching on I player at work with portable speaker next to my ear and it sounds pretty good to me

[Upthe carrots]

That's Neil Young by the way

[daveisaclaret]

We must defend free speech against the censorious woke right.

[Jakubclaret]

Always 1 just as things were quietening down on that front.

[Jakubclaret]

iPlayer was bob on regarding Neil young it sounded good.

[GetIntoEm]

Just what you need to end a Saturday night, Neil young. Not

[Swizzlestick]

A bit of a potty mouth, isn't she?

I think she’s overcompensating for being from Cambridge.

The slower tracks have sounded better in this set I think. It’s a shame she hasn’t had any guests because it’s difficult for a solo act to headline just on their own.

A shame it's mainly her miming.

[Darnhill Claret]

Not sure what some folk were expecting from Neil Young. Always been an acquired taste, but I thought he was excellent.
I'm also a Lewis Capaldi fan, who did great in his comeback, but anyone could have picked holes in it.
Live music, especially Festival music, you have to take into account the wind and the acoustics.

[dermotdermot]

I tuned in early in the set and I thought that Neil Young’s acoustic early bits were poor but he obviously grew into it because by the next time I tuned in he had a very tight band and they stormed into “Like a Hurricane” with such verve. He looked a mess but then did such a poignant version of “Old Man” and came back for rousing encores that I came to the conclusion that this must be far and away the best performance of this festival.

[Middle-agedClaret]

I thought Neil Young’s set was a fine example of sludge rock. I reckon The Searchers would have been more entertaining.
Love Raye and Beabadoobee.

[dougcollins]

I thought that at times in his set, Young was amazing.

And at others he was ******* terrible.

That's a feeble excuse. If you're good enough, you don't need guests and gimmicks.

[ClaretTony]

JOHN FOGERTY - UNBELIEVABLE FOR 80 great performance

Missed this - will have to watch on the iPlayer.

[A.Claret.Fan]

A shame it's mainly her miming.

If I go to watch an artist/band live, I expect that it's "live" and not pre-recorded.

I much prefer a warts and all performance than a staged musical which I have seen from several act this year.

For me, Gary Numan being a big disappointment in this.

[Swizzlestick]

It’s not an excuse - I’m just saying a solo headliner set can be improved with a few guests especially considering a number of her tracks are duets. A good number of headliners have done it.

[beddie]

Looking forward to Rod Stewart, my wife just reminded me of the time we went to see him in Amsterdam, it was organised by the Daily Mirror ( them were the days) and the best bit was we got to meet him, It was 1978/79. Seen him several times live. Also looking forward later tonight to Olivia Rodrigo.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

I'm just catching up with a few sets I've missed

Jaylen Ngonda
Ezra Collective (yet again at Glastonbury) are well worth checking out

[DanH90]

Surprised there hasn’t been a mention for the 1975 yet. Matty Healy is a deliberately provocative and arrogant frontman, and will definitely divide taste, but thought their set was actually very good.

Raye has a great voice, but none of the tunes really hit like you want them to. Ends up coming across like a very good Amy Winehouse tribute.

Yes, but are his friends electric?

[Dazzler]

I don’t mind the music either, got a bit of an issue with Genocide in Palestine though

Do you mean the Palestine that was formerly known as Judea?

[Dazzler]

Don’t worry we live in an age where facts don’t really matter anymore.

Neither does history, it seems.

Unless it's British history.

I agree about Healy but without sounding an old fart (I know) I really don’t think they should allow smoking or alcohol on the set.

There was brief chat earlier in the thread. He was actually less annoying than usual and it was a really good set. The finale track About You was pretty special.

100% agree about Raye - incredible voice, but she needs some better tracks. She’s recently started working with Mark Ronson, like Amy W did, so hopefully will help.
