Cuban Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I've been fortunate to pretty much see all the bands I ever wanted to over the last 35 years, but when I look back, the Knebworth 1990 festival, it was such a special day. With perhaps just one or two exceptions, who were still fun to see, it was an almost perfect line up for me. Cliff Richard & The Shadows Status Quo Dire Straits / Mark Knopfler Tears for Fears* Elton John* Eric Clapton* Robert Plant & Jimmy Page* Phil Collins Genesis* Paul McCartney* Pink Floyd* *These were just awesome in my view. I know they were all Silver Clef award winners, but can you imagine a line up like that these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillumpuffer Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Eeemmmm unlike the Knebworth festival of August 4th 1979. With one or two maybe 4 exceptions !

beetleron Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 it was a great day all around.......couldn't wait for the show hoping jimmy would make an appearance........mtv broadcast the whole thing loved this one personally....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillumpuffer Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 To be honest MM I can't recall much of the bill. Chas & Dave woke me up with "Rabbit", after a few pipes and things it all went into a haze. Todd was great as I was really into Utopia at the time. Remember it being a beautiful day, Zepp were just brilliant. Slept on the motorway as we'd missed out coaches home. But didn't give a shit One question MM. This has always niggled me and it's an open question to all who were at the first show. During Kashmir I am sure that there were exposions of flash pots ( I think that's what there called) about a couple of mins in. I had a audience recording of the show and you could hear cheers from the crowd as they went off. Now on the official DVD the explosions appear at the beginning of Achilles Last Stand. Clever editing or my mistake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillumpuffer Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Yes that is correct, just after " all will be revealed" I thought I was right. Thanks man. It's niggled me for years. And there were loads of people sleeping out on the motorway.Thankfully I took my Afghan!! Our coaches were booked to take us back at 12. But there was no way we were missing any of it. I never slept - just too fried after the day. We trained it home on the sunday. The staying power of youth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hot dog Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 The weather was very changeable that day, sunny for half an hour then torrential showers. Pink Floyd's circular screen, which spent all day leading up to their set face down to the stage, filled up with rainwater bulging the screen alarmingly. They had to cut the screen off and release the water, meaning Floyd had to perform with the circular ring behind them, unable to show their films due to the lack of screen, and it was absolutely pissing down by then. Great day though, some very memorable performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hot dog Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 One of my favourites from the day - very apt choice for Knebworth too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 As an aside, I believe Knebworth 1990 was the only time Clare Torry sang 'Great Gig in the Sky' live with Pink Floyd. I was in the crowd, but I doubt if I realized she was one of their singers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Commander Cody (who?) Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen are probably best known for their cover of "Hot Rod Lincoln" but they have a string of other hits such as "Lost In the Ozone" and "Down To Seeds & Stems (Again)". His guitarist, Bill Kirchen went on to play with Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello and others and is an in demand session musician. I'll always favor the Commander's version of "Hot Rod Lincoln" but Bill takes it to new heights where he quotes everyone from the Clash to Hendrix. It's always a show stopper at his concerts.

I was in the crowd, but I doubt if I realized she was one of their singers. She sang it in Wembley arena at Roger Waters' KAOS show in 1987 and also appeared on Waters' "When the Wind Blows" soundtrack album (1986) and Radio KAOS album (1987) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators sam_webmaster Posted January 21, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 21, 2015 Live at Knebworth’ Brings Historic 1990 Concert to Blu-ray by Jeff Giles January 20, 2015 On June 30, 1990, an amazing assortment of British rock legends shared the Knebworth stage, including Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, Robert Plant, Elton John, Phil Collins, Genesis and Dire Straits — and on March 17, the show that’s been called “the best British concert of all time” will make its belated Blu-ray debut. Among the show’s many highlights was a heavily rumored appearance by Jimmy Page during Plant’s set, which Plant later joked was a sort of make-up effort for the widely panned Led Zeppelin reunion set at Live Aid five years earlier. “At Live Aid, Zeppelin sounded like a set of rabbit’s bones rattling,” Plant said after their performance. “But working with Pagey in my band today was great. No top of the bill, just a lot of heart.” The show has long been available on CD and DVD, but the new version promises “the best possible quality” by offering upscaled standard-def footage with uncompressed stereo and DTS-HD Master Audio. The set won’t be available for pre-order until February, but Eagle Rock Entertainment is advertising a list price of $17.98 for the disc. Check out some footage from Knebworth ’90 above and the track listing below. ‘Live at Knebworth’ Track Listing Tears For Fears: ‘Change’ ‘Badman’s Song’ ‘Everybody Wants to Rule the World’ Cliff Richard & The Shadows: ‘On the Beach’ ‘Good Golly Miss Molly’ ‘We Don’t Talk Anymore’ Phil Collins: ‘In the Air Tonight’ ‘Sussudio’ Paul McCartney: ‘Coming Up’ ‘Birthday’ ‘Hey Jude’ ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ Status Quo: ‘Whatever You Want’ ‘Rockin’ All Over the World’ ‘Dirty Water’ ‘In the Army Now’ Eric Clapton: ‘Before You Accuse Me’ ‘Tearin’ Us Apart’ Dire Straits: ‘Solid Rock’ ‘Think I Love You Too Much’ ‘Money for Nothing’ Elton John: ‘Sacrifice’ ‘Sad Songs (Say So Much)’ Robert Plant: ‘Hurting Kind’ ‘Tall Cool One’ ‘Wearing and Tearing’ (with Jimmy Page) ‘Rock and Roll’ (with Jimmy Page) Genesis: ‘Mama’ ‘Throwing It All Away’ ‘Turn It On Again’ Medley: ‘Turn It On Again’ / ‘Somebody to Love’ / ‘Reach Out, I’ll Be There’ / ‘Pinball Wizard’ / ‘In the Midnight Hour’ / ‘Turn It On Again’ (reprise) Pink Floyd: ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ ‘Run Like Hell’http://ultimateclassicrock.com/live-at-knebworth/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IpMan Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 ^ Hey there Sam...Didn't Robert also perform Liar's Dance as well? I remember him doing this song and a damn fine job at that. Was it simply not included in the DVD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 It's only a small portion of Robert's set, IpMan. He did MMH with Jimmy too. Plus a number of solo/Zep songs with his own band including Tie Dye On The Highway, Immigrant Song, Manic Nirvana, Going To California. I have it on audio tape and listen to it in the summer months, while in the pool. It has such a warm feeling to it. Good set and a great day! Can't believe they put 4 Status Quo songs on the DVD!?!

IpMan Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 1990 is when they should have done the Zep reunion imo. Hell yeah, that was Roberts most "rocking" year as a solo artist. Manic Nirvana was his hardest hitting album, Jimmy was going to join David Coverdale in a few months and we know what that brought. Just imagine a Zep reunion in 1990 where everyone is on the same page. Unlike the O2 I guarantee they would have played Achilles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apantherfrommd Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hey sam webmaster dude. How's it goin? Thanks for your post. blu ray would be great. It's ashame they didn't include the whole show. Plant's Immigrant Song, Liar Dance. And I know Floyd did a lot more. You'd think with blu ray they'd had more room to maneuver. Ya know? I still have the VHS. And I've got Floyd doing Comfortably Numb and Wish You Were Here, and Sorrow, Money and Great Gig In The Sky. Great pics, by the way.
