Glastonbury 2007

[Whoa Nelly]

I heard Michael Eavis being interviewed about the line-up for this years festival anf he hinted that they were trying to get a band who last played live around 25 years ago. Does anyone has any ideas (my thought was Genesis with Peter Gabriel but that doesn't look likely) or has the plan been shelved?

[squeallyhoe]

who

[ganesh]

The Who are playing.Genesis(minus Gabriel) are touring apparently,and the Police are getting together (did they play 25 years ago?-time flies,yeah). Thats all I know.

[Mattk]

oh dear oh dear.
let sleeping dogs lie.
all classic acts who can never live up to the original times.

[Blackfoot]

Could be 'The Wurzels' .....Not seen them for a while !

[Goodsoulette]

Wurzels played there in 2000.

I dont know if you misunderstood but I saws him on local telly and he said that they may have an act they have always wanted to play there but never have and that has of course manifeste4d to be the Who. I havent heard of any other vintage acts in chats.

Although Coldplay are supposedly playing the Taunton Cricket Ground, yay!

[ganesh]

Mattk-would disagree,the best act by far last time,and the whole of Glasto would probably agree,was Brian Wilson of the Beachboys who they 'dug up' for a tour in Britain..just brilliant,and streets ahead of all the modern acts.

[Frenchoid]

Hmmm, swings and roundabouts, mattk and ganesh - I saw the reformed Velvet Underground at Glasto some years back ('93 I think). IMHO it was just awful - Lou Reed looked and sang like he just didn't want to be there - and I wish I hadn't bothered. Don't even get me started on the Pistols reforming!! On the other hand, The Who never really went away, did they, and their 'remake' of the Live at Leeds gig was brilliant, apparently. And one of the best gigs I've been to was to see the reformed Wonder Stuff run through the hits in 2000...

your all way off the mark i no who it is,ask 2morra & I'LL let u no

[Whoa Nelly]

As a totally wild guess I'd go for The Smiths - now that would be something!

[giginfoman]
