nadroj Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Anyone caught any of this yet? Some good performances, with some great keyboard players (playing live!) Some not so great performances, too. Shania Twain is a trooper for keeping on at her age, but she mostly left the choruses to her backing vocalists/tracks and just covered the low harmonies. Was a very flat set. Cyndi Lauper had some great energy, and her keyboard player was pretty stellar, doing a lot of iconic parts live. She did somehow manage to sing the whole of Girls Just Wanna Have Fun out of time, though. But again, there’s good live footage of the keyboard player there - the off beats were being played live, synced up delay and everything, and the solo (which is hard to make sound good) worked. You also get some close ups of him changing patches on the fly - fun to see on a big stage. Coldplay brought out Michael J Fox to play guitar, which was a nice touch. Parkinson’s is an awful disease, but he looked like he was genuinely having fun. Anyways, footage is all free online (BBC website, maybe YouTube) if you’re so inclined. Decent mix of young and old acts. Seems rare to get high quality footage of entire sets from a lot of these artists these days! 3 Quote Hammond SKX Mainstage 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the years, i've hired him on several recordings that i produced here at the studio. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobshaw78 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Fontaines DC had a pretty intresting/wild set-up when it comes to keys and modular, plus the set itself was 👌 https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0j2ml52/glastonbury-fontaines-dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamPro Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I tried the BBC website - was greeted with a notice "BBC iPlayer only works in the UK. Sorry it's due to rights issues." So it's YT or nothing for us interested Yanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrrtyuuiioop Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 If you are outside the UK and get the error message, you may have success using a VPN. The Coldplay set is well worth watching, awesome from start to finish. Cyndi Lauper had sound issues to start off with but they got sorted.

It's great to see Michael J Fox enjoying himself despite Parkinson's. Music has a way of bringing joy to everyone, doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naah They were getting away before Sza came onstage. Never in Glastonbury has a so called Headliner sort of performed to such a small crowd. Certainly well short of the 120,000 who watched Coldplay, us Brits know a class act. Shania Twain had a massive audience for her Legends spot as did Cyndi Lauper Quote Feck u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen Lulu many times and also been to Jool’s concerts which are stunning the guy can play anything. His guest artists are world class.
