CaledonianGonzo Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Yeah - he could easily rock up to the Pyramid and do his show without it being the main event. My formula for success is to get Bryan Adams and Cher for different slots on the same weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 The Rock for the Dads slot sort of fizzled out after Motorhead and ZZ Top. Obviously it was due to stage a comeback this year in the guise of Aerosmith but for me it should coexist with the Sunday Teatime, not be absorbed into it. Shopping list should be: Aerosmith Alice Cooper Def Leppard Judas Priest The Cult The Groover from Vancouver etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quark Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Looking at Cher's discography and setlist from 2019 tour, I dunno tbh. There's obvs a couple of big songs in there, but I reckon there would be quite a bit of filler. The shorter 2019 set (closer to what she'd get on sunday teatime) had no Gypsies Tramps & Thieves, Jesse James, Love & Understanding, or One By One. Quite a few ABBA covers. The finishing run of songs would be decent, but I dunno as it would be one for the ages unless she tweaked it slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't even mind a couple of ABBA covers, although assume they were associated with her appearance in the Mama Mia sequel.

ELO did it despite only having one song deeply rooted in normie culture, and you can guarantee Cher would be a hell of a lot more fun than that was.

Oh I'm not saying she couldn't do it. Even with the recent setlist the last 4 songs ago would be, to quote Calgon, taps aff territory. But to make the whole thing be a bona fide classic it would need some tweaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Fresh from that Elton John bombshell, let him bury the hatchet - and bring Billy Joel down for a Sunday afternoon! Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway) The Entertainer My Life The Longest Time Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) New York State of Mind She's Always a Woman It's Still Rock and Roll to Me The River of Dreams Uptown Girl Scenes From an Italian Restaurant Piano Man You May Be Right We Didn't Start the Fire Only the Good Die Young Very tasty.

Yeah considering that he consistently sells out the likes of Madison Square Garden five times over any time he tours the U.S. I can’t see him ever accepting anything other than headliner, which of course he won’t be offered. Shame though as that set you’ve posted would be an all timer for the legends slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedra Posted July 2, 2022 Report Share Posted July 2, 2022 Would be happy for a Cher or Billy Joel Sunday set. Or maybe Carol King ( with James Taylor dropping by) or for Uk legends possibly Sir Tom as he is getting on a bit now - I know he has done it before but he at least can still sing! I can’t think of any other serious Uk options unless they went for the group option - Spice Girls, Take That etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want some of these , but how about - Culture Club Erasure Duran Duran Donovan (might be better on Acoustic stage) Spandau Ballet The B-52s John Lydon Sam Moore (although at 86, probably not) Eric Burdon (only a year older than Paul McCartney) Roger McGuinn - (think he might have played already and again probably best on the acoustic stage. Still all those Byrds songs would be lovely). The Human League Tears for Fears 23 hours ago, CaledonianGonzo said: The Rock for the Dads slot sort of fizzled out after Motorhead and ZZ Top.

To add to above soft rock options - Bon Jovi Deep Purple Journey (have songs used in Stranger Things season 4) Boston Kiss Eagles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
