David Gilmour is actually one of my favourite guitarists. Pink Floyd have some absolutely brilliant songs, but also a hell of a lot of self-indulgent pish. Hence, they're okay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 You know what else pisses me off about Queen? The fact that their 'album' Greatest Hits is counted as the best-selling album in the UK. A Greatest Hits is a compilation, not an album. c***s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyAnchor Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 You can say Queen are good in this part of the forum but do not venture into the music forum with that kind of pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 As a 57 year old I remember watching it on TV. Most of the performances ranged from poor to mediocre. Queen were excellent that day. Freddy Mercury was different class. My mate travelled down to be at the event and said the sound quality was terrible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outdoor large live gigs then were often woeful. Today with the big money in festivals there has been an incredible improvement in sound engineering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
