2023 legend slot

[bexj]

And the Glastonbury legend Arthur Brown who, I think, will be 81 during this next festival!

Bring back Lionel Richie or Dolly. Both sets I really wish I'd been able to get tickets for! 😭

Where's Joni on that list?

And indeed Neil Young - the greatest live performer of all!

Think he's only coming back for a C, S, N & Y. Headline set. Can't wait for that one

You might be waiting a while for C

Saw this list on FB, good list of potential Legends, but also brings home how little time we have left to see musicians from this generation 

Genuinely thought smokey died years ago 

Alice Cooper would be great but don't think he's big enough for legends, would love to see him

I also agree they should get Lionel back 

[Jose Pose]

Thought Peter Gabriel was a good shout (from that list), but no, playing in Ireland on the Sunday.

Was so brilliant at Cropredy a few years back (2012? 2013?). Would love to see Alice again.

No Babs? I’m out.

Stevie Wonder only 72? Incredible. 61 years in the business (with immediate success) and nowhere near his 80s. 

That 2010 set should be revered a lot more. Up there with Bowie in 2000, no doubt.

Definitely well regarded - but not flawless given a couple of iffy setlist choices

Radio 6 playing ELO just now. The idea that they only have one tune beggars belief.

Was there any more chat of the Bon Jovi rumour that appeared last year? Could they be tempted by the Legend slot?

He'd easily be my top choice for the Legend slot. Watching him on the 'Summer of Soul' documentary....I never realised he's also amazing on the drums, as well as everything else! 2010 was fantastic.

My favourite bit where where he used "magic" to make his voice higher... but we couldn't say that it was magic or the spell would be broken.

Am I remembering that correctly or was I absurdly high?

Iggy pop is playing Rock Werchter

To say they have one tune is way off. To say that they have a 75 minute set of universally recognisable hits is equally so

ELO have one amazingly well know song, then about 5 songs most people would’ve heard and know, but not necessarily know it was by them.

no you're spot on.

it was at that point i'd had enough and left to go watch the end of orbital

My scientific analysis of ELO's setlist indicates 10 bangers out of a setlist of 15.  11 if you include Roll Over Beethoven.

I disagree.  Their best of "All Over The World" is almost solid gold.  Outside of Horace Wimp and possibly Wild West Hero (which I still love BTW) there's no flab in it at all.  If I had to pick a top 10 from this, Mr Blue Sky wouldn't even be in it.

In other news, I woke up this morning with a random thought.  Wasn't Alicia Keys rumoured to be lined up for 2020 and wouldn't she be a cracking legends slot act?  Too big maybe?

I’m just basing it on your average Joe on the street non-ELO fan, which is most of the pyramid field come sunday tea time.

Lets face it, if name an ELO song was a pointless question nobody would win with Mr Blue Sky.

Hear me out lads, Ringo Starr has a US tour finishing on 17th June
