Caught a bit of his set last time he was here (as a group) and was meh. Today, solo, he put on a great show. Propably a bit much for the BBC though.

RedM Posted June 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 Best today, George Ezra. Even batting lyaningitus he was superb as ever. Love George, seen him quite a few times. Certainly gets the crowd bouncing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re Headlining at Glasto on a Saturday night, top spot of the entire festival, should be the crescendo. We want sing-along festival anthems, how many of those songs had full-on audience participation that brought the house down? Possibly 15-20% or so. Should be more like 40-60% for me in that spot. Maybe I’m getting old and want to release energy and have a good time when listening to the top slot at a festival. Maybe the era of festival anthem bands have past - certainly seems so from the headliners this year - more’s the pity in my view. To be honest we thought the same. Even the Beatles songs he played weren’t the best for a festival/Glastonbury audience. Got to say though, it got better towards the end with DG & BS, then Live & Let Die and Band on the Run. Nice tribute to George with Something, the John tribute was ok. Should’ve played Octopus’s Garden and got Ringo in. Overall I did enjoy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 Yesterday, my itinerary was Warmduscher; Cate Le Bon; get a bite to eat [that's not a band name]; Jack White; meet some old friends [also not a band name]; dash to see about half the Pet Shop Boys set and meet up with the girls. Walk to village gate. Home in 15. Today, I shall be avoiding the roads and hoping my cats aren't run over by departing festival goers who think it's OK to speed through narrow village lanes at 55mph now they've done their 5-day "love and peace" schtick. Work commitments and plantar fascitis stopped me having the full-on Festival experience this year, but I'd be daft not to take advantage of having it on my doorstep. I can hear the bands anyway, I might as well see a few! When there's no mud, it's always a fun visit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His second stint on the pyramid at age of 80 lets face it will be his last and really it was a set highlighting his wonderful career - he made a point of playing the first ever beatles song but went through many eras of his career - it was one for all generations I guess. No frog song thou.. My main complaint was the fact there was no Temporary Secretary… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As horrific and wrong as it seems, it really hacks me off the amount of stuff on the floor, I don't think it will be too bad. The ground is rock hard so the plastic and cans haven't been trampled and embedded into the mud. Each night the Pyramid is left like this and by the next day the litter pickers overnight/early morning have been amazing and you find it clean. This year there was a lot less rubbish left than say after Coldplay which looked total devastation with the mud. People had got up and left picnic tables and chairs, this year people took them with them as they were clean and dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to car about 20 minutes later fearing we’d be stuck for hours. On the other side of the road they diverted us through a one way country road special that came out in Wells. Cut through Farrington Gurney to Barrow and home in under an hour. Massive comedown commencing. Not the greatest line up for sure but given the last few years going back to that special place was magical once again. We packed up by about 9.15am today. Queued to get shuttle bus to train station. Got the bus after about 45 mins. Got taken to Bath and West and stayed on the bus for another 45 mins. Half hour wait at the station. Got train at 12.15ish. Lucky I had MrRedM to pick us up from TM and I was back home 2.15pm. It sounds a lot 5 hours but I was expecting a lot worse. Very impressed with how well our exit was handled, from the bag handlers to the station staff, no overcrowding or hassles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh that makes sense. I was thinking it'd be worth it if you couldn't get a ticket (same cost) but not worth being blacklisted forever! 22 minutes ago, Slacker said: I don't honestly know buy it was something to do with where be works I think so I assume they could track him down if he shot off.

If that's all they can attract to play after a 3 year absence god help us next year Paul McCartney was booked for the 2020 Glastonbury I think. A lot of it depends on what the bands are doing, at the time. A lot of the big artist are either touring outside UK or about to start touring. I would not be surprised if next year Coldplay or Muse return. As they were there only a few years ago so with the Covid gap would be too soon to appear again. Bruce Springsteen will probably depend on going there or doing BST dates. Never understand why Red Hot Chilli Peppers have not gone there.
