[kj] NMA covers?

[Chris Williamson]

I was sitting in the pub one Saturday afternoon and a mate came in all excited and told me that NMA and Tom Jones were filming on Shepherds Bush Green. I was like " yeah right, good one" and he said "seriously!"  We went down and sure enough there they were filming Gimme Shelter (and there's even a little snippet of me in the video).

 

I met Rod Heaton for the first time that day (RIP Rob)

 

Anyway. For those interested, here it is .......

erm, it was quite a short set, as Sullivan's voice was going - hence Green Onions towards the end as an instrumental - but from my memory there was also:
 
Gotta get out of this place - Animals
In a Rut (chorus only) - Ruts (like they used to do in the encore at festivals)
Gimme Shelter - Rolling Stones (duet they did virtually with Tom Jones for the Shelter charity album a few years ago)
51st State - Ashley Cartwright
All day and all of the night - the Kinks (also performed on Sunday by Ray Davies - another Glastonbury highlight - on the pyramid stage)
 
N.B.: Those song titles may not be right, but you get the idea - I think I may have missed 2 or 3.
 
I really enjoyed it anyway - made a refreshing change from the recent set they have been doing.
 
Looking forward to the 30th anniversary tour in the autumn, when I hope a few of these covers, and many of the old songs will be re-aired for the first time in ages...

Hey Jane, thanks for the info - didn't know NMA were playing Glastonbury. I've always liked them, and just did a search for a setlist of the covers show... do you remember any of what they played? Someone on their forum mentioned Summer In The City (Lovin' Spoonful) and Green Onions (Booker T & The MG's), which honestly doesn't excite me too much! Can you remember any others?

Thanks.

T.

In all my years of solid gigging that is a rarity, and one I'll not forget for a while. There were a lot of open mouths amongst my friends - one nearly dropped her falafel, and I was so pleased I hadn't heard that particular rumour in advance.

> I love Muse anyway - have done for years, and as always, they'd already not disappointed me with a blinding show - that Edge moment though, was just the icing on the cake... I've never watched Muse on TV, and I don't as a rule like big gigs, but they really do own the stage and overwhelm any audience when you are there...

> Great weekend - also enjoyed Stranglers, 2 NMA sets (including 1 soley of covers), Neville Staples, the Beat, Gang of Four, Nouvelle Vague, Ade Edmondson's band, Slash - surprisingly, Alabama 3, and probably a few others which have slipped my mind right now...
