Nationwider Posted 22 July 2006 Posted 22 July 2006 I heard Michael Eavis on the radio this week saying that one of the headliners for next year's Glastonbury 2007 was likely to be a band that haven't played live for some 35 years. I'm not sure if he meant just at Glastonbury, or 35 years anywhere. I'm hoping to go next year and was wondering if anyone had any ideas who this mystery band might be? (Notwithstanding the fact the Eavis is a bit of a bumpkin and might have got a bit confused!) Led Zep? The Who? The Kinks? Cream? Freddie and The Dreamers? My guess is it'll be LZ, or The Who (kop out). If it was Creedence Clearwater Revival, I'd start queueing now, although Pink Floyd would be good too.
Ultra Posted 22 July 2006 Posted 22 July 2006 But a lot of original members of the acts that have been mrntioned are now dead! If they could somehow be resurrected, whether at Glastonbury or anywhere else, that WOULD be worth seeing..
Nationwider Posted 22 July 2006 Author Posted 22 July 2006 It was on Mark Radcliffe's show and this was basically what he was saying - effectively you'd need a quorum of ex-members for most groups as there's hardly any from that era that have survived 100%. Strangely, people were texting in and suggesting groups like The Doors and The Beatles! I can understand Led Zeppelin giving it a go (in theory) minus John Bonham as they did in 1988.....but The Beatles without Lennon and Harrison!!! I have a feeling it'll be The Who (Eavis has possibly got a bit confused) - who I can take or leave.

Just the Dreamers you mean, Freddie Garrity died a couple of months ago I'll be going next year too and would love it to be someone like Buffalo Springfield or The Byrds.

Ultra Posted 24 July 2006 Posted 24 July 2006 free......black sabbath....faces Faces would be closest to the bill. Rod Stewart left them around 1973-74. But I'm sure a couple of their original members are dead as well..
macbeth Posted 24 July 2006 Posted 24 July 2006 Faces would be closest to the bill. Rod Stewart left them around 1973-74. But I'm sure a couple of their original members are dead as well.. i think Free is the best bet with brian may filling in for Koss

Yeh Ronnie Lane died about 10 years ago, but plenty of decent bass players out there who could stand in for him. Not sure but I think Ronnie Wood used to play bass
Unit Posted 24 July 2006 Posted 24 July 2006 Led Zep? The Who? The Kinks? Cream? Freddie and The Dreamers? I can't see it being the kinks, I saw Ray Davies a few months ago and he was ace at the demont but then Dave Davies played a seperate tour a few weeks later and couldn't play because he'd had a stroke, I don't think he's in a healthy enough state to talk let alone sing or play
crazy horse Posted 24 July 2006 Posted 24 July 2006 i think Free is the best bet with brian may filling in for Koss i'd go with this ........paul rodgers /brian may Queen 2
macbeth Posted 25 July 2006 Posted 25 July 2006 i'd go with this ........paul rodgers /brian may Queen 2 yep Freen
Daggers Posted 25 July 2006 Posted 25 July 2006 Why on Earth doesn't he just name them instead of playing some kind of dumb Times Cryptic Crossword game? Could it be that he doesn't know himself, the daft old get? Anyway, Glastonbury is crap ~ a small corporate town populated by sales reps and beauticians all trying to out-cool or out-bohemian each other. Food stalls advertising planet saving fayre while sucking your pockets dry, beer tents selling over-priced watered down lager and idiots buying hash cake and wondering why nothing happens. People rolling in the mud just to get a photo in NME and children cluttering up the first aid tent because they are tripping having taken three sherbet flying saucers and swallowed a licorice dab. Or is it just me being old and cynical?

Or is it just me being old and cynical? I was wanting to go once before I kark it, but you're making it sound all sh*tty. I think Eavo's actually a bit of a fruit. It would be quite funny if it turned out to be M-People, though.
macbeth Posted 25 July 2006 Posted 25 July 2006 I know who it is.... Extreme Noise Terror ENT must be playing at my local hospital ; i've just seen the ad posters

wirralsimon Posted 26 July 2006 Posted 26 July 2006 If it's a big name band that hasn't played live for 35 years there are some bands it can't be The Who - toured loads of times over the last 35 years Pink Floyd - I saw them twice in the 1980's and they did a spot on live8 this year Queen - toured will Paul Rogers recently Kinks - still touring regularly until quite recently It's probably one of the sixties groups where everone went onto solo careers that now aren't worth a carrot like Crosby Stills and Nash.

The People's Hero Posted 26 July 2006 Posted 26 July 2006 It's Chas and Dave. No.. wait, I saw them recently in Maidstone. Silly me.
Janx Posted 26 July 2006 Posted 26 July 2006 It's Chas and Dave. No.. wait, I saw them recently in Maidstone. Silly me. I had a piss nex to Chas at Brannigans in Leeds about 4 years ago... they were ace!! (on stage, not in the toilets!)
The People's Hero Posted 26 July 2006 Posted 26 July 2006 I've heard that in the toilet department, they're painfully mediocre. Chas anyway.. Dave likes to keep himself to himself, avoids using urinals, maintains that air of mystery. An elusive todger for sure is Dave's.
