tevaburger Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 but they were good as Primal's backing singers, or is everyone good compared to how Bobby sounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adjwholovesmusic Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Trevaburger, I'd forgotten about Ian Brown. That was horrible in 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osama Jim Laden Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I'd like to think Shakin was gonna do green door til he saw some pillock with one, then in a drunken moment thought 'f*ck it, I'm better than one song!'

Perks Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) for all the Haim shouts on here...which of their 4 sets this year? not my cup of tea, but give them a bit of credit though for seeming to be truly loving their experience, understanding the significance of glasto....

dingbat2 Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Did they not introduce a tune as "this is from when we were good"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindles Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I saw MGMT at Reading in 2008 and they performed a perfect rendition of their hit album which the crowd lapped up, clearly the choice to avoid them since was the right one.

strummer77 Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Gorillaz and Morrissey were both good craic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porcelina Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Beady Eye and Local Natives were fairly terrible this year. Wu Tang Clan in 2011 was a mess. LCD Soundsystem in 2010 - left after two tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Yeah enjoyed them both a lot. Was near front for both though so crowd further back not being into them wouldnt have affected me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyhack Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Gorrillaz - much over-hyped. But nothing to match the disappointment of Paul Simon, who I'd really been looking forward to. From memory, it was cold and wet, which didn't help. Anyway we packed it in and went back to our tent for a mug of cocoa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porcelina Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Paul Simon was on a roasting Sunday afternoon...!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudger Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 U2, but i was in a horrendous mood, pissing down with Rain, and i thought they stunk the place out. AWFUL. Missed the Scream for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neville Street Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Gave U2 15 mins then went and watched Brit Floyd partly due to rain, partly due to the fact they were just not doing it for us. Brit Floyd were excellent (and indoors!). Paul Simon goes down as our most disappointing Glasto set too, and yes it was hot iirc. It was weirdly claustrophobic, in a field! Chairs like we had never seen before, and he just didn't seem to want to be there. Yes he was poorly, but play a few of the songs we all wanted please, we are easily pleased by Sunday afternoon. Totally missed for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackmypie Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 James Blunt 2008, I was 13 at the time and didn't know much about music however I made my parents watch them with me. Fucking hell it was so awful, everybody singing 'you're beautiful' has to be the most cringeworthy thing I've ever had to witness. I remember a lot of people with Pimms and picnic blankets on that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachbon Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Forgot about Gorillaz. They were shite, I left after about half an hour and went to see Flaming Lips on the other stage. That was a good decision. Paul Simon was also rubbish, a huge disappointment. MGMT in 2010 were a disgrace. Probably the most boring band I've ever seen.

JC-Mo'Fucka Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Got to admit, i was subjected to 'Avicci' this summer and that was far worse than anything i've ever seen at glasto. I think it was the worst act i've seen ever. Never again. Edited November 28, 2013 by JC-Mo'Fucka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russycarps Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 It was all a bit low key, but to be fair he did play quite a bit of popular stuff - The Boy in the Bubble, 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, Diamonds, You Can Call Me Al, etc. Some S&G stuff would have been nice, but surely noone was there expecting to hear nothing but...?

carlosj Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Seen loads of - in my opinion - interesting gigs at Glastonbury that people on here slag off.Thing is festivals are different as the audience is made up from a wider range of people than a gig and a lot may see that act therefore as bad, when really it might have been fine, but wasn't to their taste. Horses for courses really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
