Oh my word....my ears are still recoiling in terror. I've been a huge Orbital fan my whole life and seen them live multiple times.
Wtf happened at the end of their Glasto set....the spice girls? Really?
I'm trying not to be a mortally offended purist but whyyyyyyyyy?!?!?!?
I saw Orbitals last ever live performance at Glastonbury about 15 years ago. AND THEY'RE STILL FUCKING PLAYING
Orbital playing the Spice Girls needs its own forum.There is discussion on main Glastonbury thread but I am afraid your opinion is not valid as you called it Glasto.
Sorry, I don't make the rules.
Glastonbury 2024
Did Mike Skinner reach his flag? Was cut off on the BBC2 footage - very strange behavior! Yes he did. Quite quickly.
It started with Belinda's Heaven Is A Place on Earth right? The thing about that is thats not some wacky random song to use, Heaven Is A Place on Earth is the kind of philosophical realisation you get to when high enough. GOd is dead, there is no afterlife, heaven is a place on earth....this is it. So throwing that in towards the peak of a set has a sense to it.
Lyrics for Living on a prayer makes sense in that context tbf...I thought Spandex said they play You Give Love a Bad Name
That would be naff.

i really need to get out of bed !
I have a minidisc recording I took of them in ... 2002? doing that mix but I'd remembered it as Livin on a Prayer.
It was a stonking Orbitalesque piano house tune that samples and messes about with the chorus ("if you want be my lover, you better get with my friends, make it last forever, friendship never ends"), with added Mel C jumping around in an oversized tracksuit and Orbital glasses singing her line, having a clearly excellent time. It was fun, not annoying.
I do not believe in the basic premise that to love someone means having to get on with all their friends. Especially when one of them is Geri Halliwell.
I believe you may be overthinking this...
In fact its that kind of FRIEND FASCISM that holds people back in their relationship choices. The tyranny of the peer group. It's through intimate relationships that we grow and become better people, especially so when those partners challenge us by being different people, with different experiences than our usually very similar friend circles. Its a song of conformism. It belongs nowhere near an Orbital set. In all honesty it really bugs me so I'll say goodbye
It’s was fantastic, stop being old.Oh my word....my ears are still recoiling in terror. I've been a huge Orbital fan my whole life and seen them live multiple times.

Liking the post, not the saying goodbye, just to be clear
If we did; what would it be worth?
Heard some of that on the Wireless. Whilst driving.Oh my word....my ears are still recoiling in terror. I've been a huge Orbital fan my whole life and seen them live multiple times.

Cross posting my comment from the other threadIve seen Orbital live across three decades. I'm a real fan.
The Mel C bit for me as an Orbital fan and someone who didn't like the Spicegirls much...
Joyous.
Mel C's Bez dancing was pure Manchester. Awesome. Her enjoyment shone through and radiated out.
Phil wearing a wig!
The ten minutes of Tilda Swinton however. I'd like that time back please.
Finally who schedules Orbital to start in sunlight?
Sunlight robs them of their powers.
Gig didn't really warm up properly until the sun started setting.
The worth is everything, but there will be a cost ...but baby I was afraid before but I'm not afraid anymore
You know narcissistic abusers often try to isolate their partners from their friends.
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
Yea well I've seen them play multiple times over the last 20 years and they have never done a horrific spice girls track. each to their own, I just found it a bit gimmicky....
It's an interesting theory, and I've given it some consideration, but I think you are reaching. They list their friends (Easy V She's a real lady etc) and are adamant that to get with one means having to get along with the rest.
