FAITHLESS?

[MikeyB37]

They headlined the Jazz stage on the Friday in '99, with Orbital headlining the Saturday. What a year! Can we have a 10th anniversary repeat of that please Mr E?

[glastoman417]

if they were making an appearance it would be as a headliner but we've already got two grandads and blurrrrrrgh

[Chocscoffer]

I saw them at V in 2005 - and they played something like 3pm in the afternoon.

Which was a bit of a shame as they were the highlight of the day by a mile!

Headlining Other Stage - YES PLEASE!

[Superscally]

That was 2004 that they played in the afternoon and it was ok.

However in 2006 they were on just before Morrissey (who was the headline act). They were absolutely awesome that day (I actually met Maxi Jazz that afternoon, he was watching the sugababes, he was stood next to me for ages until a mate recognised him!).

I'd love Faithless to return, Missed them last time round or rather caught the last 10 minutes of their set and felt gutted

[Red Day]

Saw them at T about 5pm in blazing sunshine and they were brilliant. Like another poster I haven't seen anything rumoured that would beat Faithless for me.

Saw them indoors at SECC and it's bands like Faithless that bring it home to me why I love live music in the first place.

i am currently watching the footage from 2002 and am still convinced that they need to make a return to the Big G in 2009

My number one performance of all time.

I am hoping that they are the 4th 'mystery' headliner.

[Tugger2k]

see, i knew this thread was worth a bump.

never met anybody who was at that gig who doesnt rate it in their top 5 of all time

bring them back to glasto 2009!!!!

[Tugger2k]

There is not one band, in the entire world, that I would chose over Faithless live.

Not even Radiohead (although I would cry a bit!!)

Their set in 2002 was the best act I have ever seen; I was with a large collection of family and friends at the back of the field & watching the crowd writhe and move and undulate was the most amazing thing; it took mere minutes for everyone, right up to the back, to be standing and dancing and shouting and screaming.

We still talk about it now - when my little sister was born in May 2003 we were still raving about it - it's no coincidence that her middle name is Jazz!

Good work fella! (note who uploaded it to youtube )

[coolethan]

fair play to those parents

[Tugger2k]

It really does show how important that gig was to so many people though - absolute definitive Glastonbury performance,

the beautiful rendition of Crazy English Summer bought a tear to many.

[MikeyB37]

hows it goin on the faithless community board?

[Tugger2k]

The word that springs to mind is 'Dead', not a sniff of a rumour there i'm afraid

[Tugger2k]

apparently, this IS my church

[MikeyB37]

but surely their out this summer, no?

i could take them not being at glasto as long as i knew theyd be at @ brixton, again!!

[Tugger2k]

I dont know any more than you really, the album's apparently due for release this summer so there's bound to be a tour & some fest appearances to go along with that.

And yes... back to Brixton please! Last time i saw them there was 2005, went to the Shepherds Bush Empire gig in 2007 (the night after the Chems in Trafalgar square, what a weekend that was!)

[mdp963]

I have seen them 4 times now ...coincidentally and strangely associated with memorable food of some kind

Glastonbury ... the definitive seminal musical moment after Garlic Bread, Pasty and Chips and Cider ( at the Bus)

Brixton ... totally different sensational late night performance after a top class West Indian Cafe Meal

BIC Bournemouth ... another brilliant evening after a excellent fish meal on the promenade at Bournemouth

Hyde Park - Free mega priced O2 hospitality tickets were there was awesome amounts of food and drink of every conceivable nature

I doubt that Eavis is thinking about Faithless as the 4th ( "surprise nobody has thought of act") .... they have been discussed ad infinitum
