Mogwai Other Stage Glastonbury Festival Glastonbury, UK Sunday 27th June 1999 mogwai fear satan cody small children in the background kappa xmas steps summer helicon 2 helicon 1 like herod 1999: CSB > D7 > DAT master > CDr 2009: EAC extract from 1999 CDr > CDWave (tracking) > TLH (FLAC, checksum) There is a 5-second dropout around 2 minutes into 'Kappa', as per the master. Sounds like the mics became disconnected? My CDr appears to be a clone from the master DAT. It's untracked and was bought (yes, bought) in 1999 from the person who made the recording. Whoever this person was had an extensive sale list of recordings made at the 1999 festival and earlier events, as well as FM radio recordings. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reviews etc: http://www.youngteam.co.uk/brightlight/eng/gig270699.php Mogwai headlined the second stage. Other artists on the same stage earlier in the day included Glastonbury Town Band, Toploader, Dr Didg, Snowpony, Electrasy, Dogstar, The Delgados, Feeder, Tindersticks, Mercury Rev. Line-up: Dominic Aitchison, Barry Burns, Stuart Braithwaite, Martin Bulloch, John Cummings Additional musicians: Richard Formby on lap steel on 'Cody' and Luke Sutherland on violin. Mogwai were in the habit of having extra hooded/masked guitarists on stage during 'Like Herod' in 1999. I can't remember how many musicians were on stage at the end, but it may well have been eight or more. New stage set consisted of white gauze screens with 'mogwai guitars right', 'mogwai guitars left', 'mogwai drums' and 'mogwai barry', mirror balls, and a new light show. 'Summer' played to mark four years since the group's formation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some friends and I went to Glastonbury for the day. We went specifically to see Mogwai. It was a very pleasant sunny afternoon, and I seem to remember we stayed at the second stage for most of the bands. Snowpony, The Delgados, Tindersticks and Mercury Rev were all very watchable. Dogstar (Keanu Reeves band) suffered considerable abuse from the crowd. Someone threw a tennis ball and managed to hit Keanu's bass strings at one point. The resulting 'thunk' drew the biggest cheer of their set. Eleven years later, having seen Mogwai more than 50 times, I can't remember seeing them play to a bigger crowd than this. There seemed to be people everywhere. Towards the front, there was a sizeable group of people howling along to the opening of 'Mogwai Fear Satan'. In hindsight, they turned in a damn good show, although I remember being frustrated at the time by the lack of new material or surprises in the setlist (this was the fifth time I'd seen Mogwai in 1999). It was very strange watching Mogwai in such a huge crowd, having seen them numerous times in less-than-full 200-capacity venues in the preceeding two years. auto_pilot April 2010 App\Http\Controllers\Api\FileDownloadController::download(): Return value must be of type string, none returned
