I'm sure that the writer of the most covered song in music history, "Yesterday", among many other great songs, will be devastated that he can't personally disappoint you at Glastonbury.

I once heard an interview with Chuck Berry that asked him if he ever got bored with playing Johnny B Good. He asked why he would, do people get bored with playing or hearing Beethoven's 5th Symphony?
If it's good then it's good, how ever many times it is played.

It's not just about how good the songs they wrote are. It's about how well they can perform them.
I saw BB King years ago, one of the best blues guitarists ever, a great gig. Then I saw him again a couple of years before he died. It was embarrassing, he was a rambling, senile, old man who was a shadow of his former self. He should have stopped gigging a few years earlier.

We went to a local pub before the concert and they only played his songs the entire time, we were in there.

I have similar fond memories, I want to see U2 in Cologne on the JT tour (85?), and their music was being blasted out everywhere before the concert. I also saw the Foo Fighters in Dublin last year and was in a pub that had them on loop.

Happy days.

i've never bought anything by 'The Boss' but saw the reviews on his latest release so took a gamble and bought it and its great.

I saw the ukulele orchestra of great britain a few years back, wrinkles and the odd paunch but still pretty good really...

I was lucky enough to see them in the Sydney Opera House of all places about 10 years ago. We wanted to see whoever was playing there during our 4 days in Sydney and we were not disappointed. An excellent show even though we'd just stepped of the plane and could barely stay awake.

I had 4 fabulous days in Sydney in an apartment next to Government house in Kirribilli over looking the opera house in February, seems such a long time ago now. Cabin fever makes me long for travel again, cant wait to go back to Oz, particularly the fantastic city and surrounds of Adelaide.
