Maybe his goal was Glasto after 3 weeks break but it was heartwrenching today at times. He was fully supported by the crowd though which I hope gives him confidence. He acknowledged his difficulties and kept apologising and wondered if he would ever be invited back. Pretty sure he’s cancelling Chepstow next Saturday. I was watching it, and thinking it’s sad watching him like this. 4 minutes ago, RedM said: Britney isn't it Apparently arrived in Bristol Airport today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them doing their best 20 songs would be an amazing headline. They said they were going to split up after their first album.

Respect to both Rick and the Blossoms for creating the Smiths music with such love and affection. Enjoyed that I remember Blossoms being good last year too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollis a musical phenomenon that ruffled so many feathers. Tim Freisse Green the underlying influence on later music. Get past three minutes and this concert is worth a watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't too familiar with their stuff before last night, but I thought they were superb. Thinking man's music after the same old noise assault stuff from The FF. BTW, only heard one song from someone who's name I have forgotten. An all girl band with a dreamy sound. Can somebody help? I enjoyed what I heard of them. Bit shouty for me, Arctics. Manics same. Foo Fighters, well, Dave should be at the back, on the drums, bit of backing vocals if he must. Ffs Kurdt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where you’re coming from and let’s face it, the future hardly looks orange. But things can change. The beginning of the end started around the time music started becoming too easy to make. Ie home recording, computers, auto tune, predictable chord sequences, sterile sound, etc etc. sadly, I’m not gonna be around for Glasto 2040, so who give a toss :laugh: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most have been covered. Replicated. As more time goes by, the less anything has been covered. As Hollis noted...Silence between notes has a massive impact. If you can't play a note properly...don't play it. Music because of its ' science and maths' really only has so many endings...unless you go really ' out their'...however our brains compute with certain patterns. So it's not indefinite. Music like most things we know is at it limits because of structure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
