jparx Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Really the big hitters are my top five. Hard to choose but something like Something Live and Let Die Yesterday Helter Skelter Hey Jude He doesn't seem to have played it for a few tours but Eight Days a Week would be high on my list of tunes that are not nailed on but possible. I'd lose it if he opens with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey you're right - 2015 looks to have been the last time. I just thought it would be a banker but perhaps not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought it would be a banker but perhaps not? Just did a check, last time he played it was the same time he played Eight Days a Week in England too. So maybe he pulls both out? I really can't see him not playing Yesterday but then you gotta think can he play 'all' the hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry bear Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) So far on the 'Freshen Up' shows (39 since 2018), he's only played Yesterday five times (seems to play either that, Birthday or I Saw Her Standing There as first encore). It seems appropriate to play Birthday at Glastonbury's 50th, but also seems inconceivable that he'd not play Yesterday. Don't hold your breath for Eight Days A Week!

Gilgamesh69 Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Twist and Shout Eight Days a Week I Want to Hold Your Hand Yesterday The Long and Winding Road Tried to go for ones I haven't seen him play live already. I like to think it's a good mix of danceable bops, singalong hits, and some tear-inducing songs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ommadawn Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Just watched a Youtube video of him live this year. I hope he's in better voice this June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilgamesh69 Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Honestly don't get people worrying about his voice. When I'm drunk with me mates on the Pyramid field, dancing and singing away to hit after hit, I'm hardly going to be thinking "oh no, this really doesn't sound as good as how he did 50 years ago, my night is ruined" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can't sing anymore, should he be a headliner regardless of his history? Edited February 9, 2020 by Ommadawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes, still a headliner. My bet is it won’t come over fantastically on telly With the mixes but that there, it will sound fine.

Hugh Jass Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 I saw him December 2018 and his voice was absolutely fine. No issues with the Macca Pipes whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwedgeAntilles Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 As long as you have realistic expectations of how he'll sound it'll be grand. As mentioned a few posts back his days of belting out the likes of Long Tall Sally have passed but he'll do just fine on the current set list. It's going to be amazing.

henry bear Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 It’ll be the last time we’ll see the greatest songwriter of modern times (IMHO) play songs from the greatest back catalogue (ditto) as headliner on the Pyramid. If he sounds his age it’s not a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
