Saturday Concert
« on: April 07, 2014, 01:09:39 pm »

The Earth Wind and Fire Experience last year was great - really gave us a chance to exercise the feather boas - has anyone heard anything about 2014?

Here comes the annual bore-fest about the music. 'Who is playing?', 'I hope it isn't a French band, French bands are sh*t', 'Even though they may all be dead, who would you really like to see?' YAWN, YAWN, YAWN. Ever tried watching the motor race? You never know, you might like it.

If it bothers you so much, this thread could have easily been avoided if you simply read the title and moved on old timer.

It was really full last year, but I guess that you won't be blocking my view this year!

I'm really happy with French bands too - Air, Daft Punk.....

At the Silverstone Classic they had Pink Floyd Reloaded - A German based tribute band who were tremendous. I think they would go down a treat with an LM crowd for a great Friday night concert.

Whilst I have never bothered about seeing a band on Saturday night at LM I do think that if you strip away all of the extra events that go on at the weekend eg the parade, ferris wheel, the village activities, the museum, the antics,....... and the band,    the event would become sanitised and lose a big part of what makes it special for all of us, including those that only go to watch the racing.

I couldn't agree more it all adds to the general atmosphere whether you bother with the concert or not and personally i have never been that interested in the acts to bother.
It's like all the sights and sounds it just isn't the same without some sour faced slightly rotund french woman staring me down when heading in to relieve the bladder pressure, or in our case the customary Grand Marnier Crepe at 3am.

The whole event is like a good old woolworths pick n mix if you don't like the aniseed balls you don't have to suck them  ;)

I dare say some of you out there may think I talk balls, but I can categorically confirm I never suck on them!

Looking forward to it now I know who will be playing.

Always worried it will be some fading 80's band.

Doesn't matter, surely the big screens will be showing some kick-ball action from Brazil ?
