[Music] Glastonbury Festival 2023 - the thread

She is 77 ffs

Cat Stevens is 74 and yet he can still sing extremely well. I can't stand his music, but at least he can sing.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Personally I thought Rick Ashley and the band playing Smith’s songs was my highlight! Shame Johnny marr didn’t join them

Is ability to sing age dependent?

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Yusuf/Cat Stevens has been just fantastic. A great human being whose songs are still relevant.
Hard to believe that ”Where do the children play” is 53 years old and it’s message has been completely ignored.

 

[Whitechapel]

I need to go next year ffs. I say that every year and I’m never organised enough when tickets go on sale.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Is ability to sing age dependent?

No, but it is being used as an excuse for Debbie Harry's shortcomings.

 

[big nuts]

Alison Goldfrapp on Park Stage sounding great now.

brilliant songwriter and amazing voice

 

[A1X]

Great set from Becky Hill on the Other stage

 

[The Maharajah Of Hockley]

Becky Hill doing a cracking job on the other stage

The two standout acts I’ve seen via the telly box are Fatboy & Rick Astley . Most of the others I’ve seen have been okish but I wouldn’t have bought tickets to see them personally based on their performance. Looking forward to Elton

Yep, and I'd like to add Cat Stevens, to those two.

 

[Stato]

You can add Blondie to the list of bad. An even worse vocal performance than Axl.

Oi! She's doing fine. (I am of the generation who grew up thinking that Debbie would always be the coolest woman in the world and we weren't far off. She's still a close second to Kim Deal.)

 

[Randy McNob]

Rory Breaker on drums

 

[Wrong-Direction]

I paid no attention to glasto this year, today I've had a catch up. This would've been a good year!

Am determined to get tickets next year even if I have to employ a bot farm.

 

[Machiavelli]

Oi! She's doing fine. (I am of the generation who grew up thinking that Debbie would always be the coolest woman in the world and we weren't far off. She's still a close second to Kim Deal.)

Agreed. Again.

Righto. Agree about Kim Deal.

Is ability to sing age dependent?

Actually, it can be as your vocal cords deteriorate with age.

 

[Si Gull]

Editors storming it on Woodsies atm. Best thing I've seen so far. Not a great fan of their more recent stuff but it comes over much better live.

Not sure about covering Seal, though, when they've got a good enough back catalogue themselves.

Unfortunately tuned into the Rod Jane and Freddie banality of Cat Stevens.

My teenage years were blighted by my peers "discovering" his albums at the back their parents cupboard. The endless loop only stopping when they discovered the hard rock of Tracy Chapman and Tanika Tikaram.
