Watching Nick Cave. 22 years ago. It feels very current, albeit he's been understandably badly affected since then by his son's death. But the staging and fashion? Bang on.

[Music] Glastonbury revisited on The BBC this weekend
- Thread starter Icy Gull
- Start date
Was that Tinker from Lovejoy sitting on the speaker at the front of the stage, playing guitar?
Serios question . . . . ELO . . . Miming ? Or really playing ( Jeff Lynn particularly . . .) have seen a few gigs, inc the one on TV . . . There's something not quite right for a 'live' performance.
Either that or eveyone else has been doing it wrong for the last 65 years

Watching the reruns of the 'legends' earlier, I'd forgotten how wonderfully over the top the end of Shirley Bassey's set was with the orchestra playing out.

Saw Nick Cave in Sports Direct in North Street about 10 years back, he was trying to do " Keepy Uppy " with a ball while his boy looked on, had strangely skinny arms and weirdly dark hair.
See, this is where the world has gone slightly mad. Can you imagine Maupay on stage at Glasto in a pinstripe suit, inhaling a Marlboro Light?
Stick to your strengths people.

Thats the next viewing ........its also on spotify...
This Bowie set is absolute quality. Again, the fashion. That coat could be a unique designer piece made exactly for the gig or it could have been picked up for £1.50 from Cirencester Oxfam. Either way he's rocking it.
Rene Zellweger on now, doing some awesome Bowie covers

I've been watching and listening to Bowie for the last twenty five minutes. Looks a bit like a smartened up skinny Robert Plant and singing like Anthony Newley with added vocal mannerisms, it's a good job he had a hot band. I just don't get what people saw in him. I liked him in the 70' for a while, and a smattering in the 80's but after that, not for me. But hey, each to their own.

When it comes to arty-farty music, give me Kate Bush over David Bowie all day, and all night.

You cannot be serious man....
In my opinion that's a classic performance.

But must add he is probably an acquired taste, bit like marmite.
At the risk of going back to the "do musicians get better when they're older" thread, you need to listen to Blackstar. It's astonishing on its own, but is incredible when you get that he knew he was dying and we didn't.
This, now, is greatest hits but still puts so much modern shite in the bin, effortlessly.
