Sorry but it was a dream. Would have been nice though.

If only... I think Nash is the only one to have graced a British festival in recent memory...he played Wickham this year, didn't he?

He did, and very good he was too!

CS&N played the Hard Rock festival (or whatever it was then called) in Hyde Park a few years back. I think it was the year that Paul McCartney headlined. I was there but I went to a couple of these so I can't remember who played which year.

They played 2010, the year after Neil (I think).  Mumbles "it's not a bloody festival, mind" under his breath as he wanders off...  ;) :) ;D

That thought crossed my mind before I posted but then, what else do you call an event that lasts for three days and involves thousands of people standing in a field listening to music?

That Neil show was one of the best of my life, certainly the best Neil performance that I have attended, though the Hammersmith show just after Chrome Dreams 2 came out was great too.

If you mean the one in 2009 it was, at the time, also the best show I had ever seen by any artist, only superseded by The Cure last year, also at Hyde Park. He was simply stunning.

I do indeed mean the 2009 show. It was a great year for live music. I had only recently seen the Mott the Hoople reunion at Hammersmith Odeon which I thought could not be beaten. Then there was an astonishing Flaming Lips show in Portsmouth. Everyone was on the top of their game that year. Sadly I don't share your love of the Cure (apart from their very early stuff), despite Robert being a provincial West Sussex boy from my own neck of the woods.

I went to that too. I saw Stevie Wonder the day before and had no idea who the support bands were...I didn't even think there would be any....and saw the t-shirt listing Elvis Costello, Crowded House and CSN as Macca's support and my face nearly split in half from smiling. As I normally have resting miserable git face when I'm having a good time, this was quite a feat.
