My first reaction to the Pyramid lineup is the average age of the performers......BB King 85!! Paul Simon 70, Don McLean 65, Morrisey over 50, Bono 50, Beyonce??, only needs the rolling bones...next year sponsors are Age Concern. Was a huge fan of Paul Simon in the earlier days.....saw him recently.....sounded bored!!

This.
Saw him in Bournemouth a year or two back and was really disappointed.
Such a wonderful catalogue of songs to pick from, but the gig just never took off.
Ironically my brother, who was there with me had been to see Art Garfunkal a few weeks before and had come away raving about it.

Have been listening to latest 'So Beautiful So What'. He's trying too hard to recapture the past....it doesn't come off. Agree with your brother about Art, but even there maybe it is now time to sit back, listen and remember.
[cite]Posted By: siblers[/cite]The Streets are pretty woeful live.
can't say i agree, been to see them 3 times and each time i've had a blast. His hearts not really in it anymore but a couple of years ago he was bang on it. The "Go Low", "Go Moses", and "freeze" are inventions of his that get the whole crowd involved.

Remember them at Oxegen in Ireland, they didn't even realise they were in Ireland and were saying stuff like "how is london today?" spent most of the set just arseing around on stage. Guess it depends what mood he is in.
Never been a fan of 'Council House' music myself. The Kinks were alright I suppose but I confess they depressed me to much. More of a West Coast California man myself and these days anything that has that certain psychedelic lilt is attractive. These days Another Brother and Shpongle seem to hit the mark. In fact anything that Simon Posford seems to turn to gold.

And he'll be no different. Crap. Or probably even crappier!
Good work!
