Glastonbury 2017

Same thoughts as you 55 !

Churning out the same songs at every gig is not what rock and roll is about.
Where's the spontaneity the excitement ?
I'm not saying Radiohead were as exciting as some bands, but they do what they do because it feels right to them.
It's a bit like saying to Vincent Van Gogh, that in the commercial world that we wanted him to paint by numbers.
It ceases to be 'him'.
Jimi Hendrix when he headlined festivals that dwarfed Glastonbury, would often nearly half of his set of songs that had never been released and improvisations that were exactly that.
After a year or two of playing the 'hits' he wanted to move on as a progressive and innovative artist. He felt stifled and caged to be expected to play the same songs in exactly the same way.
Radiohead are one of the few bands who have the balls to have an similar philosophy.

Rock and roll is about getting the crowd going, entertaining...

Kiss are far from the best songwriters in the world, but give kick ass performances live.

Radiohead can do that at Glastonbury for the simple fact the audience is for the most part people there because it's Glastonbury, couldn't give a toss who the bands are.

There's no comparison between Hendrix and Radiohead...
