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

I can’t stop watching this. It’s the most disturbing performance I’ve ever seen.

Richard Sanderson is still very much active and still has the pipes at a youthful 71. 

 

100k at this. Crack pipes being passed round the pit. Comfortably Numb vibes guitar solo.

Honestly, know he's been and done it, but would love to have Tom Jones back, and not even necessarily in the Legends Slot.

 

Saw him in Halifax this summer, a truly moving performance.

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.

 

 

Keep him away from Coldplay or they'll wheel him out and sing Fix You at him.

Limp Bizkit or Creed would be ideal.

Best description of Creed I read was  as "...a Christian rock band. As in "Oh God, it's Creed""

Surely that's The Creed?

Indeed, the idea that in the current climate any festival, but especially this one, would want to give their best platform to someone who famously eulogised Powell is extraordinary. 

i know michael has said hes not interested in having clapton, one of his close collegues used to ask for clapton all the time.

[NorthernSoul52]

Clapton's a great guitarist, but not exactly stacked with a setlist of bangers given the way he frequently constructs his shows.

 

Of course, you could meet the needs of the show, but it's pretty moot. He won't be doing it.

How good would that be, her powerful voice booming over the pyramid field? An act that would transcend the generations. True legend imo. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Proper set of pipes still on her, I hear.

[MK1]

If he really goes on tour again, why not. A legend....

Already done it, to a mixed reception.

I thought he was brilliant but then I had got all his solo stuff. I had also seen him live both solo and with Garfunkel. He was much better solo!

I think his current output is far too mellow and almost too ambient to suit a gig. It would have to be a total bangers set or the reception would not even be mixed

[CaledonianGonzo]

I also dug it more than most I think. Really glad I got to see him. But he should have done Graceland.

I’m probably biased though after he put money behind the bar at the Hammersmith Odeon (Apollo) for all the audience to have a drink on him on the Still Crazy tour. I had two drinks. In those days two drinks wasn’t far off the ticket price

Two drinks can be not far off the ticket price in some places these days. Paid seven quid for a pint at The Wardrobe the other night.

Doesn't feel like there are any front-runners yet.  No obvious candidates announcing tours next summer with suspicious gaps.
