[Music] Glastonbury Festival 2023 - the thread

[VAL1850]

Great Start but needed Roger and Pete....

 

[Beanstalk]

Elton’s crowd is absolutely larger than Dolly’s was. Must be pushing 200,000 in that field. Overhead shots are something else on the UHD stream.

 

[schmunk]

I note Elton's plumped for singing in the Pub Style...

 

[timbha]

Elton walked on like a bloke who’s been desperately avoiding the Glasto loos for a week

Or like he got the ST coach to Newcastle

 

[KZNSeagull]

Quite a few of the band that were with Elton in the 70's are still there, which is impressive.

 

[Insel affe]

Barrington Levy was excellent

 

[Insel affe]

Is it me or does Elton look like Chucky

Slave labour will do that

 

[Insel affe]

All that money, go bald and you buy a ginger wig…

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

What a bloody performer.

 

[clapham_gull]

What a bloody performer.

Elton or his hair piece ?

I think it was Ray Cooper, the percussionist, who the Argus described as looking like Steptoe….. in the 1970s!!

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Elton or his hair piece ?

Both

 

[Wozza]

Secret set innit. Wasn’t billed even if it was one of the worst kept secrets this year. Took the same spot The Killers did in 2017 so actually quite a big spot for them to get.

But they were in a 10,000 capacity tent.

It could easily be a HUGE singalong on the Pyramid.

He was the percussionist that went to the Soviet Union with him in 1979

 

[birthofanorange]

Rick Astley fast approaching NATIONAL TREASURE territory

Something most people would never write, let alone read, but you're not wrong.

 

[clapham_gull]

He was the percussionist that went to the Soviet Union within him in 1979

Of all the things to smuggle through customs.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Thought Cat Burns was fantastic. Moving little song about being a people pleaser. I'm a 58 year old, but I could completely relate to the 22 year old songwriter. Power of music!!

 

[jcdenton08]

Absolutely f***ing phenomenal. To all the haters: I told you so. One of the greatest of all time.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

And I dug out the Lewis Capaldi set. The crowd finishing the song for him reduced me to tears. Poor lad, and well done Glasto.
