Glastonbury 2023

[AGinAg (37)]

iPlayer has just gone down!

 

[Ellie]

Evil Edna returns!

 

[Iguana]

He sounds quite good! In a shouty way

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I predict Elton's special guests will be the the Reynold Girls, the woman from Deacon Blue, former health secretary Aneurin Bevan and Blazin Squad.

 

[D5K]

Maybe I shouldn't have watched Rocketman yesterday as he's (obviously) seeming very old in comparison.

 

[Christian]

He sounds quite good! In a shouty way

Looked quite uncomfortable walking out, but sounding good here.

 

[dmlaw]

He sounds quite good! In a shouty way

He isn’t appreciably more honky than he has been for his entire career.

 

[Ellie]

 

[AGinAg (37)]

The crowd size is mental.

What a film!

 

[Iguana]

The crowd size is mental.

Imagine the queue for the LOOS

 

[D5K]

The crowd size is mental.

The ones at the back might as well watch along on iPlayer. Although I assume reception is a complete nightmare there.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I loved Rocketman. Talk about getting the tone right.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Imagine the queue for the LOOS

With iPlayer coverage I have no desire to go again! Smaller festivals only for me!

 

[PercyPig]

Here for Britney

 

[dmlaw]

The crowd size is mental.

Wow. That‘s surely one of the biggest crowds they have ever had.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I hope he does his tribute to Jill Dando.

 

[Iguana]

"It MAY be my last ever show in England"

Bit of a row back from "this is his last ever show in the UK" in the intro

 

[Iguana]

I hadn't realised Gaga and Florence's Hey Girl samples this. And if it doesn't, he should sue

 

[COB]

Very much going for the approach to the GYBR high notes, and fair enough!

 

[dmlaw]

That’s interesting. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is usually his show closer.

Maybe he’s done.

 

[Iguana]

I've not ONCE heard him shout EUROOOOOPE!

 

[Ellie]

Still a bit Vic Reeves pub style singing.

 

[COB]

He's gonna bring out Kate Bush for Snowed In At Wheeler Street, I can feel it in my waters

 

[Iguana]

This bodes well for the comeback of Candle In The Wind '97.

 

[COB]

I've not ONCE heard him shout EUROOOOOPE!

There's still time!

 

[dmlaw]

He's gonna bring out Kate Bush for Snowed In At Wheeler Street, I can feel it in my waters

My money is on a Luciano Pavarotti guest appearance for ‘Live Like Horses’.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Kiki Dee for Don't Go Breaking My Heart '94.

 

[VoR]

Gay icon Leann Rimes for timeless gay classic ‘Written In The Stars’

 

[BoysForSeles]

I’m not sure why I’ve never invested in a greatest hits by him, I really should have.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

My parents played his GH on repeat back in 1990 on a family holiday. I am fully aware of his big hitters and have a healthy disdain for several of them.

 

[COB]

Have we spotted the person in the crowd holding up a @ZenGiraffe on a stick in some of the shots?

 

[Sheena]

I’ve really come to appreciate him in the last few years- the 70s stuff is (mostly) gold and I’ve got all those albums on vinyl now- he’s a charity shop staple.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

No but there was a Rachel Adedeji flag yesterday.

 

[Ellie]

I hope he does Made In England and Act of War with Millie Jackson

 

[Sheena]

When I saw him at Hyde Park last year, he didn’t do Don’t Go Breaking My Heart, which was the big miss. So I led a singalong of the crowd near me on the way out

 

[VoR]

I think my first exposure to his wider back cat was that episode of American Idol where Jennifer Hudson bellowed her way through Circle of Life like an elk in labour and some previous frontrunner went home absolutely massacring Goodbye Yellowbrick Road

 

[Ellie]

I just always remember Your Song playing around the house. Then when Sacrifice came out and that double GH album, he was pretty much everywhere with no real breaks.

That was the one I had drummed into me.

@IntoTheDark was in it's presence earlier today!
