A guest for Bryan Ferry · Sun, 07 Jul 2019
Bryan Ferry was superb on Sunday at Hyde Park: my son summed him up, 'this guy is so cool'. He is and he really has still got it, belting out great old Roxy Music numbers in addition to his later solo songs. To be honest he eclipsed Barbra: she was magnificent when singing but spent too much time gushing about England, her dogs, her career, saving the world blah, blah, blah - one felt like shouting, 'Shut up Babs and just sing'. Bryan, respecting his audience , did just that - still as great as he was when I last saw him 17 years ago.

We were half way back in General admission and were very disappointed that there was such a bad delay on the screens. Too far back to see stage, fair enough but for the screens to have such a bad delay really spoilt it for us.
I had really been looking forwards to "seeing" you but this lag made the screens useless. Everyone was p....d off a out it in our area.CandA2407 was there for BECK at Barclaycard British Summer Time 2015 festival · Thu, 18 Jun 2015
Should have a headliner. Fantastic set but the hour flew by far too quickly....
A guest for BECK at Barclaycard British Summer Time 2015 festival · Thu, 18 Jun 2015
It was a fantastic show. The crowd was very happy too.
Because Beck was a support act for Strokes, his show was only one hour long.
I felt it was too short.
Anyway, he was absolutely fantastic!A guest for 10cc at Barclaycard British Summer Time 2014 festival · Sun, 13 Jul 2014
10cc were, for me, the stand out act in the gorgeous weather at Hyde Park. The musicianship and harmonies were, as always, spot on. The crowd rose as one in complete appreciation of the acapella version of Donna which was as tight as I've ever heard it - a real achievement in an outdoor venue. The set was hit-laden which is to be expected, not least because they had so many but also to appease the neutrals in the audience. The band interacted with each other, both sonically and instrumentally which demonstrated what fantastic musicians they all are. A great performance from a great band.

A guest 100% for Barbra Streisand · Sun, 07 Jul 2019
Barbra was absolutely great when singing, unfortunately she spent too much time gushing on about England, her career, her dogs, saving the world blah, blah, blah.
I actually remember some of her script from when I saw her at the O2 in 2007.
Have to say I really don't think she's that comfortable with this type of open air venue, more difficult to control in comparison to a seated internal concert. And I fully respect her desire to control - it's her name selling the tickets and she wants to give us perfection. Barbra, you delivered perfection every time you sang but, for me, not when you chatted.
And yet......I'd put up with the chat again and be happy to pay the £700 that my ticket cost to hear again, Barbra sing 'My Man' & 'The Man That Got Away'. She's not Garland but doesn't need to be, she's herself.
