BBC Coverage 2023

FF. First time I was ever beaten by a band. Had to exit via the crush barrier or I would've wet meself. The start of me questioning whether I'm getting to old for this sort of thing.

 

[germanmon]

I was all aboard the Pulp train for the Churnups and so was a bit disappointed, but this is making me consider Dave as an option next week instead. Good energy.

[MrZigster]

More mega pyro.

[MrZigster]

Hang on. Don't think I was working that year. Must have been another Liam performed year I was thinking of. 

[germanmon]

Jeez, I've just seen what time this finishes! I'm making my very own exit via the crash barrier for tonight - thank god for iplayer to watch the rest. Enjoy sir!

Sleep tight.

Rag n Bone man. Brilliant. Better live than as laid down on tape that one.

[MrZigster]

Killers at JP. Bet that was legendary for anyone who got in.

Never got my head 'round why this tune is so popular.

[MrZigster]

Barry Gibb. I may be getting teary and wondering why. Getting excited for it now.

I used to be able to hit those high notes.

'17 may have been the year I lost my voice. Literally couldn't talk after an operation. It was that or '15.

[MrZigster]

Should be Chic next then?

[MrZigster]

HAIM. I met them once. Have posted that anecdote previously.

They were just so cool.

Next but one then. Poor editing beeb.

Best Sunday afternoon ever contender that year. Late '70s disco heaven it was.

I’ve actually been enjoying your stories every night, almost like a nighshift radio DJ. 

I'm not sure how to take that as I generally hate DJs lol.

Talking way too much and over the music and making it all about them...

Whoops maybe.

Yea it was great (if you're talking Chic here), but the previous year (?) headlining WH was at a different level.

I'm talking both Barry and Chic. Was also at WH and that was one of those absolutely everybody is dancing moments.

However, if I'd known that they would be back the next year I would almost definitely have chosen to stay at Portishead.

There was 4 years between Chic sets in 2013 and 2017.

Wow. Could've sworn it was back to back.

Still a big part of me wishes I'd stayed at Portishead.

[MrZigster]

Janet Jackson. Better not say too much or that rabid superfan might make a return.

Was deffo volunteering that year.

[MrZigster]

Now this is the Liam set I got cross about. Crappy bar doof doof doof soundbleed bollocks.

[MrZigster]

Just noticed he's got a Damon Albarn lookalike in his band.

[MrZigster]

Last one pre covid of course. Possibly the end of an era? Won't be quite the same ever again? Hope that I'm wrong and they sort some of the issues from last year.

[MrZigster]

The Killers and THAT bloody song again. I was at The Acoustic watching Hawkwind (after catching the end of Keane iirc). One of the best light shows I've seen there. My mate back at home watching on telly was shocked I wasn't at The Killers. I was a bit cross when he texted me to inform me a Pet Shop Boy had made an appearance. That would have been the better tune to include surely rather than this overplayed thing.

[MrZigster]

The unfortunately short lived Pangea. A pity that didn't get a chance to evolve. Brilliantly Glastonbury idea though. Let's buy a crane for a pound and turn it into a disco. Eyesore my arse. Sod the council or whoever on that one.

[MrZigster]

Think the best thing I saw that year was Slowthai the (allegedly) gropey git. Wasn't into the music, or him, but f**k did he make WH happen with that mosh pit. Glad I didn't go further forward.

Saying that though, just remembered Beans on Toast at Greenpeace on the Thursday (I think). That was something else. Perfect first act type thing (though I think I'd probably seen Mik Artistik at Croissant Neuf Bandstand on the Wednesday, as is traditional).
