2016-06-24 Glastonbury Festival

This is a common comment I'm seeing from some longstanding fans who are non-dirties. Which is that the sets are always 95% identical. Even when they have, at their fingertips, "Scribble", "Pearls Girl", "Dark+Long", "Skyscraper", "Always Loved A Film", "Spikee" they don't vary the setlist one jot between shows. It must get boring playing the same 12 songs in the same order every. damn. gig. Surely?

We turned on the Glasto coverage waiting for the next Euro games and I swear Jeff Lynne has made better use of his backing screens than UW has lately. (Totally having an AM Gold flashback to my youth here. Thanks dad).

Checked out some of the Underworld photos online and they were definitely animated! Will watch the video later tonight, was too drunk Friday and forgot to turn it on! :/

So sweet. I was hoping someone would post it here or on the tracker for those who have not access to the iplayer outside UK. But not that quick and in HD... Yannick, you're a prince!

Subsidiary question: do we happen to have a good recording of the "Dirty Club" track from this tour? There are some videos on YT but I'm looking for a decent audio for this gem. If any info please let me know

[Jram]

Has anyone ripped the audio from this?
I could do it, but it will be a pain in the arse - so if someone else has already done it a link would be great.... :-)

I have to confess not reading all the posts re Glasto, but it appears that Rick is using a completely new desk. Can anyone describe the new set-up?

What about letting the man do it himself?


But as Jetpig pointed out in another thread:

My understanding is that there was some fumbling at coachella weekend 2, showing that it's all still being done live, but what's the point if there's no major changes from show to show?

I miss the days where the only known factor was getting NUXX near the end.

So Underworld are not on this CD - here is the tracklist:

1 Coldplay – Birds
2 Foals – What Went Down
3 The Last Shadow Puppets – The Dream Synopsis
4 Jeff Lynne’s ELO – Showdown
5 Chvrches – Bury It
6 New Order – Bizarre Love Triangle
7 Years & Years – Eyes Shut
8 Jess Glynne – Right Here
9 Muse – Starlight
10 Wolf Alice – Giant Peach
11 Sigur Rós – Sæglópur
12 John Grant – Grey Tickles, Black Pressure
13 Richard Hawley – Tonight The Streets Are Ours
14 Laura Mvula – People
15 Madness – My Girl
16 Baaba Maal – Fulani Rock

The New Order set was pretty cool - and the current version of BLT is nice.
