Tiesto13 Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 Can't actually think of that many cover's I heard. But of the ones I did, The Staves version of You're still the one was excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw I thought her set was lovely and she was going through her career and talking about the people who helped her which I thought was really sweet.

Probably my surprise act of the weekend I only went to see her because it fit in nicely with 2 other acts I wanted to see and I was blown away. Even got a couple of tears from me. I think she'd have been a great legend slot. I knew so much more than I thought I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was in the studio with her then husband Maurice Gibb, and Robin, and they’re trying to work out a new song but can’t figure it out. Then Barry arrives late, as soon as he walked in he started singing lyrics to the song without any preparation. It became a number 1 hit. She said they had an amazing telepathy.

As it was I only got to see half of Romy to get to Bob Vylan in time and both of those were great as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one interview, you said there were 30 acts in the world that could pull a crowd of 60,000 or more and only two of them hadn’t played at Glastonbury… Only one now! Who is that? Fleetwood Mac. I’d like to get Mark Knopfler to play, obviously, but he doesn’t like playing to big crowds. https://highprofiles.info/interview/michael-eavis/ Unfortunately I think he's retired from touring now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's also a shame is that I had Tuesday night tickets to see him at the Albert Hall back in 2019 and turned up to his Wednesday show. I almost cried.
