The BST Hyde Park festival sallies ever forwards – mostly towards the much-anticipated Taylor Swift set tomorrow…
But before that we’ve some perfunctory performance from a little-known band called The Who to get past. The Who? Exactly – the freakin’ Who!!!
Here’s a flippant picture gallery taking in the rock megastars and their not inconsiderable “support” acts.
Kaiser Chiefs
Yeah! Here’s Ricky Wilson from the Kaiser Chiefs trying to stamp on the air itself!
And here he is trying to surf the air!
And jump clean over the air! (Or at least some of it…)
And finally – after a very energetic gig – here’s Ricky just trying to give the air a big cuddle.
Paul Weller
Weller I never, it’s Paul Weller!
Paul who? Oh, stop this! Look, he brought this massive sign along…
And this guy with a lovely turtle-neck sweater.
“Bye, Paul!” screamed the audience as he was sucked into the inter-dimensional hexagonal vortex behind him.
The Who
The Who! And Roger Daltrey is still capable of giving that mic so much aggro rock attitude.
Unfortunately, he did use part of the gig to flog giant badges for his band.
And then we got a reminder of what The Who used to look like. But who cares? The Who certainly don’t.
Because Pete Townshend can still do this with a guitar.
And, quite frankly, after that DREARY LOT OF ROCK GODS we just can’t wait for Tay-Tay and her shakey pop songs. Bring on the weekend!
