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.

Very nearly put that on my list.

Eight Days would be fab and from what I can see he hasn't played Yesterday in the UK in a LONG while.

Blimey you're right - 2015 looks to have been the last time. 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.

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!

Good knowledge

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

[Ommadawn]

Just watched a Youtube video of him live this year. I hope he's in better voice this June.

I want him to do a secret Fireman set. But I'd settle for this:

Yea, from a lot of the videos I've seen over 2018/2019, its not great. Thats my ONLY worry.

Will it matter all that much? If you’re in the Field I mean?

[Gilgamesh69]

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"

It's my voice you all need to worry about.

But I probably won't be drunk and would like to hear him sound much better than he does in the video. If he can't sing anymore, should he be a headliner regardless of his history?

People are still enjoying his concerts and those who attend always seem to be overwhelmingly positive. 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.

I saw him December 2018 and his voice was absolutely fine.

No issues with the Macca Pipes whatsoever.

Same as the Stones, people say it didn’t sound great on TV but for me it was one of the best things I’ve been apart of in my life!

[SwedgeAntilles]

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.

This was the one I had in mind. But happens loads anyway, and at the end of the day what matters is the sound in the field.

[henry bear]

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.
