I went thru listened again and made a note or comment after each track. Here you go.
Plainsong: sounded normal. Open. Missing the other guitars which the keyboard doesn’t NOT make up for. Fascination Street. Almost there. Very few guitar lines missing. A Night Like This. Missing something, like the second guitar… Too much flanger, Bob. The End Of The World. Average song sounding average. Keys playing guitar almost cut it. Lovesong. Missing a bit. Just Like Heaven. Electric sounds cool but missing the acoustic, and the lead played up and down the neck was a bit of a miss at the end when switching to rhythm ( on the video) The Only One. Meh. Sounds fine I guess. The Walk. Normal Push. Where’s that Bass VI!? Friday I'm In Love. Missing guitar is almost covered by keyboard. Almost. In Between Days. Nope. Missing guitars Play For Today. Yup. Just like the old days. A Forest. Great but what’s with that intro keyboard ? Primary. Rocking. But where’s the VI? Too much flanger, Bob.. Shake Dog Shake. Too. Much. Flanger. Robert. Severely lacking the other guitar. The Hungry Ghost. Fine. One Hundred Years. Yeah boi!! End. Missing the other guitars. A lot. Disintegration. Missing the second guitar.
Lullaby. C'mon, one guitar? No. The Lovecats. Terrible song. Not a well played rendition The Caterpillar. Yup. Lovely Close To Me. Keys on a gtr? Nope Hot Hot Hot!!! Sounds fine but is missing parts guitar Let's Go To Bed. Fine but a bit loose Why Can't I Be You? As above
Boys Don't Cry. Lead fuitar part on keyboard = no Jumping Someone Else's Train. Just need that second gutar Grinding Halt. Fine. 10.15 Saturday Night. Sounding great Killing An Arab. Sounding great. But “Another”? Yuck
So, all in all, Bestival is not for me.
would be interesting do the same with FESTIVAL 2005
