There are a couple of Groundhog albums in my collection

i had a couple, they were in a two album package, with the artwork of two albums on a gatefold, can't remember which albums now, (i also had two king crimson albums packaged the same way).

RIP Tony Bennett...although Glastonbury 98 was before my time I always enjoyed seeing his performance in the highlights compilation.

Ah, great voice

[Pinhead]

Just seen this in the news. Can slightly still recall the set too. RIP

It was watching this on the TV that got me into him. Saw him in concert 3 times and always great. Sad news

His set in '98 was an all time great for me. Sad news, but a life well lived, I'd say.

I remember that set really fondly 😃

RIP. 

One of the more impressive things Ive seen a live act do - 89 year old Tony singing Fly Me To the Moon unamplified in a 2000 seater.

A life well lived. Great singer as well.

I saw him do that in Glasgow 5 or 6 years back. Very impressive.

1998 was my, arms my son's, first Glasto 

Was very impressed by his immaculate turnout in a year of horrendous muc

Genuinely absolutely f**king gutted about this one. Been rooting for her for decades, hoping she would get better. Her autobiography was so upsetting as well. At least she is forever at peace now.

Very Sad news

Supposed to play in 2020 wasn't she?

Her final album is still unreleased. No Veteran Dies Alone

Yep she was. I only saw her live once but am glad that it was during a happy period of her life and she seemed to be really enjoying herself.
