Edited - Friday only option. 

 

 

 

Could see a Crowded House slot. They would be ideal Pyramid. Big songs, big voice, big singalong.

I'd be well up for Tears for Fears.  Tarred with a bit of an 80s brush but they have some genuinely great tunes, and Tipping Point was one of my top albums of 2022.

 

@stuartbert two hats put me on to this podcast in general and this one in particular, picks apart what makes Everybody Wants To Rule The World such a damn fine song

Glad to have been of service. Sinnerman, Hyperballad and Like A Prayer are also great episodes, off the top of my head.

What about Roger Hodgson?? Is he still active? Haven't heard anything from him since covid.... 

Was managing Crystal Palace last year

Yeah, it does come with the spectacle as such.

 

Hmmm... Tears for Fears then. One of the biggest albums of 1985, celebrates its anniversary. Not saying you play it in full, but gives them a timely sell.

In a similar bracket to TFF, Simple Minds. Another one you might look at and think it's a mid-afternoon slot elsewhere, but probably have enough singalongs to justify the LS billing.

 

We're going to run out of some options soon, I guess.

Roy Hodgson and Neil Warnock would be a fabulous Legends booking to be fair.

We dismissed the bloke from Supertramp a few pages back.

I know they smashed the Other headline slot the other year, which arguably shows where the festival considers their currency. But Pet Shop Boys would have been a good Legends Slot.

 

Possibly work much better under cover of darkness though.

I saw an interview with NT once where he said they don’t like playing in daylight. Might even have been specifically talking about the big G but I can’t find it.

Now or never for Frankie Valli, his pipes have never sounded so good

They subbed the Pyramid in 2000 and it didn't really land like it has both times they've headlined Other.

That may be the most unsettling thing I've ever seen.  The unblinking reanimated corpse of Frankie Valli, bemusedly miming to Sherry and not knowing what the f**k is going on, surrounded by grinning sycophants.  Truly the stuff of nightmares.

 

Why doesn't he blink?  Why?

 

WHY!?

Didn't he have to release a statement the other day say he wasn't being coerced in performing and the victim of elder abuse or something?

 

Here it is

Mind, if you're animatronic and just a series of remote-controlled motors within a lifeless body, can you even be the victim of abuse?

Heres President Jimmy Carter at a Frankie Valli gig last week. Looks like he over did it on the edibles. 

 

Typical f**king camping chair brigade.

Does seem to have slipped quite dramatically. Saw him a  few years ago, and it was splitting the difference. Bit like Barry Manilow too.
