Everyone watching?

Oh my God what a fantastic set.

David, the world tipped on its axis when you left us!

This is the first thing I’ve enjoyed since lockdown began. I miss live music so much.

Hate to say it Titsywoo, but.... Grin

Just wonderful. Hoping it's on iPlayer so we can watch the whole lot as we missed the first bit.

Absolute Beginners was the first dance at our wedding over a quarter of a century ago. Sat watching with DH reminiscing.

He's been amazing!

I was grumpy as the "love of my life" (he wasn't really) had just left the country to go travelling, my car had broken down a mile before we arrived at Glastonbury and I was sharing a 2 man tent with 4 people Grin. So I was probably sulking somewhere! Youth is wasted on the young!

Just great music stripped back stage

Excellent loving it

That bass player is terrific, who is she?

Meandyouandyouandme · 28/06/2020 23:15

Yes it’s going to be on iPlayer for a month Smile

Viragoesque · 28/06/2020 23:16

She is, isnt she, @morethanafortnight?

JayAlfredPrufrock · 28/06/2020 23:16

Isn’t she bloody fabulous

littlbrowndog · 28/06/2020 23:17

I think he’s giving a shout out to band now

mrwalkensir · 28/06/2020 23:17

I'm assuming its Gail Ann Dorsey on bass (watching something else at the moment). Remember somebody similarly complaining that Waterboys audience weren't engaged. We were mesmerised....

JayAlfredPrufrock · 28/06/2020 23:18

Ooh. Just lit up

emilybrontescorsett · 28/06/2020 23:19

Saw him in the 80s.
He was a true artist when people were allowed to experiment and the arts weren't stifled like they are now.
So glad I got to see him.

Soooo much Amazing Music Grin

worcestersauce29 · 28/06/2020 23:19

amazing

Viragoesque · 28/06/2020 23:20

That’s her @mrwalkensir — just looked her up.

Jellykat · 28/06/2020 23:21

Grin Titsywoo... mind you i'm just as bad, just about saw Bowie at Milton Keynes bowl, but was having a really bad Speed come down, so spent most of the time sitting on the floor looking at a sea of peoples legs!.. I'm an idiot too!

OrlandoInTheWilderness · 28/06/2020 23:22

Gail Ann Dorsey on bass. Incredible player and singer in her own right too.
Bloody amazing show!

BreathlessCommotion · 28/06/2020 23:25

I was there too. 19 years old! Been reminiscing tonight. Might have to dig my old photos out of the loft.

LetGoOfTheLittleDistractions · 28/06/2020 23:27

@RaininSummer

I need to watch this again. It was awesome. He was such a beautiful man.
Especially with his long hair! I'm not a fan of live music on TV but loving this. What a sad day when he went. Mind you I'm getting twitchy looking at all of those people so close together Sad
littlbrowndog · 28/06/2020 23:28

Oh no it’s over

worcestersauce29 · 28/06/2020 23:29

My brother in law was in the 'bowie/stewart' set back in the day whilst they were playing back rooms in pubs. He had many tales but sadly is no longer around to tell them
