o/t Glastonbury Thread 2022

The Boss, I can go to sleep a happy man, he's almost Mick Jagger.
Agree, The Boss brings gravitas.

Dave Grohl has become a bit of a luvvie. A safe Gary Linekar type who will always be painfully on message. I was actually quite enjoying it despite not being a PM fan until Dave was rolled out.

The Boss is, well, he's The Boss.
 
I'm watching it a bit behind & have fast forwarded many songs, it's a festival & the audience want the most famous well known stuff, many have fallen foul of this & tried to play new stuff. Yes he's doing well for 80 but I expected better song selections. As I type Get Back is sung 🙄

It gets better, stick with it!

Some like Levi can't accept that point. Even he has to say "it gets better". Is that because the point I first made was perfectly valid.

In your opinion.

Grohl comes across as a genuinely decent fella and a great musician.

And your comparison to him and Lineker is hilarious.
 
He's played over 2 hours, is still going, has had Dave Grohll and Bruce Springsteen guest, he's 80 years old and this is a Paul McCartney concert not a Beatles concert so he has played stuff across the back catalogue. If you're not enjoying it, I get that, I wasn't going to watch as I thought it would be embarrassingly bad but it has actually been absolutely amazing and will be seen as an iconic set for years to come. So well done Paul, you have certainly proved me wrong, you have had the crowd eating out of your hand. Legend, no doubt. Absolutely brilliant and still playing after 2 hours 20 minutes.
 
Here we go , Hey Jude, the song he got absolutely destroyed for, thanks to his rendition at the London Olympics, without the context of a full concert.
At least 20's will be swaying because he knows it and not kept up with his full catalogue....neither have I.
 
To be fair if you're opening your set with a song written in 1964 ( Can't buy me love ) and every fucker in the audience know the words, you're 80 and still headlining with a crowd most people would die for, you've not had a bad career.
Still think The Stones were the band The Beatles wanted to be.
So the Beatles wanted to just rip off blues tracks constantly?
 
You seem to make it look easy to make a fool of yourself at times. That was incredible. And here come an encore. Over 2 and a half hours at 80, crowd absolutely enraptured and you're still trying to win petty arguments. Give it a ** rest.
What the fuck are you on about? I've not mentioned his age once. I've stated he's a legend. My issue is with his chosen set list, nothing else. Too many songs early on that the audience just didn't know. What part of that don't you understand?
 
"I was right!" - see! 🤣🤣
I wouldn't worry about the audience. Most of them were too busy filming themselves.
That was a wonderfully eccentric effort from a living legend.
When Springers rolls up to pay homage you must be worth it .
 
Really impressive that from PM. 80 years old, and nearly three hours without needing a piss.

Seriously though, I do kind of get what 20s says - the first hour was mostly stuff that not many would know. However, the important thing is that in the end he didn't really leave out any of his classics - Let it be, Live and let die, Hey Jude, a host of other Beatles songs, Maybe I'm amazed. I think it was 36 tracks in total. So I'm not sure it mattered that he also did some lesser known stuff. Quality music from a class act, thoroughly enjoyed it personally.
