Anyone else? I tuned in last night and couldn't believe how bad it was! 1975 was headlining and it was so middle or the road. Maybe I'm getting old but the music was awful!!! So bland. Im early 40s 🤣 What are your thoughts?

Kneecap are very critical of the old IRA heads , calling them out for their hypocrisy in their film. From Kneecaps perspective the old generation of Republicans are holier than thou about drugs and many of them were / are informers for the Brits - or ' touts' in the local argot.

Of course not all Irish yoof agree with Mo Chara et al. Some of them are out burning down refugee hostels and other such wholesome activities which might find more favour with the Daily Mail readership.

But it's weird how they call others out on their hypocrisy and don't realize they're the most hypocritical of all. I can't with stupid people anymore! But then the Kneecap thugs are all on drugs and so are their fans, so that further tampers the critical thinking skills.

All the older acts tend to do that. Even Neil Young had some long guitar solos. I saw Frankie Valli a few years ago and he had some backing singers who did a lot of the work. At 80 Rod Stewart is pretty fit. He apparently runs every day as well as the gym. I think we should make allowances. I would rather he was there than not.

It was always a hallmark of a Neil Young set that at some point the band would get into a middle eight hundred and forty four + solo long enough that a punter could go off, skin up and wander back just in time for them to be about to go into the last 4 choruses, a return solo and an extended outro.

Difference for Rod is that he probably went and sat in front of a portable air cooler whilst changing his clothes instead of a quick toke.

Just been watching Rod and can't really agree. His band, the dancers, the violinists, every device possible in play to conceal that it is really a bit too much for him. I was getting worried during the last bit where he was in the pink suit, he looked quite unwell and very breathless. He isn't really putting a lot of emotion into it, just singing the words (not always very well). If you look at the early songs with The Faces on Youtube the singing and delivery are quite expressive and emotive but the backing is a bit crap, it's the other way round now.

Just enjoyed Snow Patrol. Great voice and pure sound.

scoobysnaxx · 29/06/2025 18:49

Chic are amazing.

Nile has written some of the best songs ever!

NeartoNewquay · 29/06/2025 18:33

@Spooky2000 - just said this to DH - certainly our local pub singer could sing them under the table.

Spooky2000 · 29/06/2025 18:29

Honest to God, for some of the acts I've heard better karaoke in the local.

WillowTit · 29/06/2025 18:26

loved rod saying he was going to change his shirt and have a cup of tea

the80sweregreat · 29/06/2025 17:44

Rod pulled out all the stops and the suits! Fair play to him. All the older musicians and singers have been great.

bigfatdoormat · 29/06/2025 17:41

Rod was the absolute best. He's got all the songs could have done so many more.
Sid anyone think that proud mary segment was a tribute to Tina Turner?
Was thinking that generation were quite something Bowie Beatles Stones Elton Beach Boys Bolam Springfield

the80sweregreat · 29/06/2025 17:39

I loved it all apart from Lulu , but she wasn’t that bad in the end. I have a soft spot for Rod though.

Loved Gary Numan and seeing his daughters perform. Really enjoyed Wet Leg. Raye and Self Esteem aren't my thing. Wasn't sure about Amyl. Peter Capaldi with FF was cool. Gutted that Blossoms dont seem to be on the replay list.

We tuned into BBC 4 to watch Amyl and Beth Gibbons. Amyl were great. Beth was boring

Inbetween were the Nova Twins. Guitar based rock from two young black women. Loved them. Not heard of them before but super catchy tunes just made for video games.

NotSmallButFunSize · 29/06/2025 17:34

Such snobbery - music is just entertainment, let people be entertained!

Can't stand people who are snooty about music

I was there too. For @RampantIvy@RitaAndFrankand @abnerbrownsdressinggownit was bloody brilliant. Although the crush was so bad that some poor girl was airlifted out. And the only reason I survived the front row was that there was a lovely posh boy from Bath with his arms locked on the barricade either side of me. Bless him.

<sigh> those were the days.

Luckily I was standing further back - that sounds so scary.
I remember Robert Smith’s really ineffective attempts to get the crowd to move back for the helicopter.

Were you at the James set where all the crowd sat down for ‘Sit Down’?
That was fun! 😆

Didn’t she shag Jason Orange?

Fair play, I wouldn’t kick him out of bed

Notouchingmybhuna · 29/06/2025 17:19

Best act all weekend 😃

NooNakedJacuzziness · 29/06/2025 17:18

Lulu looks amazing

Pedallleur · 29/06/2025 17:15

Hot Legs!! Bet he doesn't sing the original lyrics about being pussy whipped and his daddy.
Young women in his band? Imagine that. He enjoys the eye candy. All a bit cabaret

Notouchingmybhuna · 29/06/2025 17:15

She looks amazing at 76!

BlueEyedBogWitch · 29/06/2025 17:14

BlueEyedBogWitch · 29/06/2025 17:13

Oh fuck it’s Lulu.

the80sweregreat · 29/06/2025 17:13

I always liked Mick hucknall
Stars was a great album

Thegreyhound · 29/06/2025 17:10

Don’t think much of Mick Hucknall but his voice is so good. Not so much Lulu
