Glastonbury, Music Festivals & Live Gigs

I just updated the VLC player on one of my old computers today and was looking for a video file to test it.
I found an old video of Glastonbury 2008 and took this snapshot.
Duffy was all the rage at the time, not heard anything about her recently.

As far as I know it's an open secret so U2 will play Glastonbury on Friday 24th June 2011.

Anyone wanting to listen to thousands of live gigs legally should visit

http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/performers/concerts/

which is the free, requires registration, streaming archive of the late u.s. concert promoter bill graham.

or

npr is national public radio in the u.s - the concerts are much more recent than wolfgang's vault eg Flaming lips at bonaroo festival 2010 including their version of pink floyd's dark side of the moon lp in full.

On both sites there are odds and ends which you can download but it's easier to use:

which is an audio stream recorder.

As for Duffy I suspect she's waiting while october/november to release a follow up into the pre-christmas market or alternatively suffering the problem which seems to affect female performers more than male, of how do you follow that (see also adele).

about an hour of kasabian's t in the park set is currently showing on the bbc's red button service.

And muse's glastonbury set is on either bbc 3 or 4 next friday, 23rd July.

Heck of a line up for Sonisphere at Knebworth July 30 - Aug 1st

With luck you should be able to access u2 live in turin tonight here:

later. Links are at the bottom of that first page. You might need to have a bit of patience and/or keep trying as the people responsible haven't done this before.

For those with dab radios - if you go to absolute radio extra from about 5pm today you'll be able to hear complete sets from madness, kooks, kings of leon and kasabian from this weekends v festival.

got my next live concert booked. Going to see The Saturdays at manchester apollo on the 10th February 2011

Thought i'd ressurect this thread for anyone interested you can hear Primal scream play the whole of screamadelica live on bbc radio 6 music tomorrow from 9pm-11pm and the manic street preachers live from blackwood nest thursday 8 - 10pm on radio 2.

On friday 17th december at 10.30pm bbc four is showing (almost) all of Pulp's 1995 set at glastonbury - if you've never seen it this is one of the all-time great performances, Glastonbury or anywhere.
