Artic Monkeys and Foo Fighters, boring Lizzo great, Becky Hill also but too many average performances from what I've seen Elton might save it Friday and Saturday headliners weren't great maybe, but Reg more than deserves this slot and Glastonbury is so so much more than the headliners.

He’s doing better than I expected and as you say, it’s much more than the headliners, I guess I’m a bit stuck in my ways with music, but always find someone new to explore more from Glastonbury, tonight it’s Cat Burns, never heard of her before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny Dancer is my all time favourite of his songs and I was shitting myself thinking he was going to ruin it for me. But he just didn’t go high and I enjoyed it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Oil Services Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Elton bringing on some vocal back up, good move. Needs some permanent singers at the back, like Laughing Len had the Webb sisters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italian dave Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Elton proving me wrong when I suggested yesterday that his voice was gone!

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Given his age and the recognition that he can no longer hit the high notes Elton's voice has held up pretty well. Having said that he's just murdered Sad Songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per the earlier discussion, he’s 76. It’s not great, and the slower ones make his limitations more obvious. But I’ve seen him a couple of times in the past 10 years when you’ve barely even able to hear him a la Debbie Harry, or Diana Ross. This is better. Whether he keeps it up for 2 hrs remains to be seen! (And agree with you about the great LC. Although stick the Webb Sisters on and I could happily listen to them all night anyway!!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Not a fan of Reg at all, but think he’s holding up well tonight. The only thing I’d say is that he (and David Furnish) have bigged up the guests preshow and the two so far are the equivalent of bringing out Rodney McAree as a Bristol City legend. Expecting him to bring out a Britney or a Macca to redress it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
