Ultimate Song To Close The Festival?

[robith]

you reckon? If were them, I'd close with Tender. Got the potential to be amazing, I think. But yeah, this is a low is a great tune too

but anyway, for me, ultimate closing song ever would be Prince doing Purple (Thank f** there isn't any) Rain or actually, pretty much anything from his set

a boy can dream, can't he?

[russycarps]

flaming lips - do you realise

[thatshowitstarts...]

flaming lips - do you realise

[The Klumpster]

Agree with lots of suggestions so far.

'We are the champions' by Queen would have been a bit special

'Consideration' by Reef would be good for the long 'it's gonna be alriiiight' ending to ease the fact that the fest is almost done for another year (yes I know they could never headline )

'Bridge over troubled water' by Unkle munkle funkle for the weepers

[Okky]

We are your friends.

[sifi]

Express Yourself - NWA.

[Dunney77]

Probably one of these two;

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

I am the Resurrection (BIG JAM) - The Stone Roses

[Dunney77]

Ohhh yeah! and i forgot this one;

Killing in the Name - Rage Against The Machine would be sickkkk

[grumpyhack]

Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd with Van Morrison (great live recording worth hunting down as Van really adds to it).

N17 or I Hope You'll Meet Again - The Saw Doctors

It's Over - Roy Orbison (you did say artists live or dead).

[gibbo13]

champagne supernova - oasis with john squire (as they closed knebworth)

[MartinGooding]

straight to hell - the clash

[Red_Eye_Jedi]

'Consideration' by Reef would be good for the long 'it's gonna be alriiiight' ending to ease the fact that the fest is almost done for another year

[remote]

Bob Marley - 3 Little Birds would be good.

Realistically -

Oasis - Live Forever

Radiohead - You and Whose Army

[Chocscoffer]

Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence

[budvar]

This Is A Low - Blur.

And I'm pretty sure it actually will close this year's festival. Which is nice.

[Originalshez]

Land of Hope and Dreams - Bruce.

But as he's on Sat, not gonna happen.

Grab your ticket and your suitcase

Thunder's rolling down the tracks

You don't know where you're goin'

But you know you won't be back

Darlin' if you're weary

Lay your head upon my chest

We'll take what we can carry

And we'll leave the rest

Big Wheels rolling through fields

Where sunlight streams

Meet me in a land of hope and dreams

I will provide for you

And I'll stand by your side

You'll need a good companion for

This part of the ride

Leave behind your sorrows

Let this day be the last

Tomorrow there'll be sunshine

And all this darkness past

Big wheels roll through fields

Where sunlight streams

Meet me in a land of hope and dreams

This train

Carries saints and sinners

This train

Carries losers and winners

This Train

Carries whores and gamblers

This Train

Carries lost souls

This Train

Dreams will not be thwarted

This Train

Faith will be rewarded

This Train

Hear the steel wheels singin'

This Train

Bells of freedom ringin'

This Train

Carries broken-hearted

This Train

Thieves and sweet souls departed

This Train

Carries fools and kings

This Train

All aboard

This Train

Dreams will not be thwarted

This Train

Faith will be rewarded

This Train

Hear the steel wheels singin'

This Train

Bells of freedom ringin'

[Grimmy]

Realistically either Tender or the Universal will be a great end to the festival, not a big fan of this is a low myself.

Ideally I'd go for Sit Down by James, love that song.

The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter

[greg1999]

[beamends]

"Going Home (Is Such A Ride)" - Dory Previn

[Pilton]

this year id like 'this is a low' - best song ever closing the festival has to be 'common people' by Pulp, or id take 'the boatman/julie/battle of the beanfield - levellers

[ramragon]

one day like this by elbow with the crowd singing for ages after the band go off stage, it worked to a smaller degree last year would loved to have seen more of the crowd involved and it go on longer
