Glastonbury ... from the comfort of your sofa

[Superphil]

Just checked and they played the suite in 77 and 78. F***** if I can remember which one it was that I was at though

Well there you go, I really didn't think they had. First time I saw them was Hammersmith Odeon on Iron Fist, 1982/3 I think.

Just a heads up for fans of great music. There is a stream of Father John Misty's set at 6.30pm at Glastonbury. http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/e84mxj/acts/avm3v2#p02vr7rd

I caught him in Bexhill last night and yet again he was phenomenal!

How come everybody loves Glastonbury ... from the comfort of your sofa but hates people who watch football on Sky... from the comfort of your sofa ?

Serious question

Sky armchair types who live in places like Plymouth and support Man Utd and not their local team deserve a bit of stick.
Glastonbury is once a year and not easy to get tickets, I think plenty of genuine fans of the bands playing would like to go.

I like watching some of the bands at Glastonbury from the comfort of my sofa with a beer, not actually sure I would like to be at Glastonbury.

Fair play for taking up the challenge of replying

Tho suspect few will add much to your 'Not sure I would like to be at...' whether it applies to festivals or football. Guess in the end I'm probably advocating cutting the Sky viewers a bit of slack seeing as how we do exactly the same re Glasto - except we get it for free.

3 days without a number 2 is not an option for me

I would definitely get lost, lose my tent and anyone I was with if I went to Glastonbury, I have a terrible sense of direction.
At least I can find one of the toilets in my house

TBH I've never felt the need to go and looking at the crowd at the front watching Florence & The Machine they looked less than half my age

Slaves putting some balls into the whole proceedings. Marvellous stuff

Watching Burt Bacharach. The man is an utter genius

Blimey, I knew this man had a catalogue of hits but by Christ I didn't quite realise to what extent. Quality.

Agree. He's done about 30 songs so far and everyone a huge hit. He's 87 as well. At his age he should be shuffling round in his slippers and pissing himself, not playing at Glastonbury

3 days on a campsite with limited facilities with 177'000 pissed-up people really isn't for me, but I'm quite happy to watch a few hours of mid-summer highlights with a nice cold beer each evening once the kids are safely tucked up. Similarly, I don't have SKY and wouldn't ever watch a televised Premier League game from start to finish, but I enjoy Match of the Day in the winter months with a crackling log fire and a decent glass of red (Italian or Spanish).

I think I must be getting old as the quality of performance at Glastonbury this year (from what little I have seen on TV) seems a bit lacking?

Was, far to gone, voice shot, to be given a slot with his carers

I'm talking about his songwriting not his singing. He can't sing for toffee

Greatest song writer ever?

Indeed. Fair play to him, I am only 46 and I am already shuffling around in my slippers and pissing myself.

What?! No Father John Misty fans. For shame NSC!

 

[Bry Nylon]

Who's on tonight?

Either gonna watch Glastonbury or The Theory of Everything on DVD.

One here. Enjoying Glastonbury with an ostrich steak and a glass of 2003 vintage cobra wine!
