Elton John: Will You Be There?

[august1]

Clashfinder has him top at 67%, AM 63%, Blondie/Churnups 50%. Gun and Roses are the 68th most popular act of the weekend with 13%

I will be there, but I do expect him to do other one off gigs like Rod Stewart, no touring,  in the future  

[CaledonianGonzo]

He's already said he'll do that.

Saw him last year at Vicarage Road and was one of the most disappointing gigs I've ever been to. He barely sounds himself anymore. Definitely swerving him in favour of QOTSA and would encourage anyone on the fence to do the same.

Saw him 2 months ago and he sounded brilliant, so would highly encourage anyone on the fence to see him

I saw him in April and he was pretty good.

There are a few videos in my Facebook post, which I've temporarily made public.

I'm seeing him next week and am going HAM for Reg

I saw him last year and he sounded amazing. I was very impressed, expected him to be past it. Would definitely recommend anyone that hasn’t seen him to put up with the inevitable huge crowd

[CaledonianGonzo]

Any theories as to what Reg could be cooking up at Wembley Arena if its *not*:

I have to say he'll have misjudged the mood if he'd putting all his eggs in the basket marked

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Or....what are Pete and Rodge up to?

[nikkic]

2 weeks until Reg bitches

[CaledonianGonzo]

Dunno when I've looked forward to a gig more.

It's certainly right up there.

I was extremely hyped for Kenny last year, had wanted to see him for ages and it felt like we were getting to see an artist as they ascend to greatness. 

But yeah, this is different, our whole group will be there, most anticipated act we've ever had. 

One for the ages.

Looks pretty epic to me!

Also once you consider the Glasto factor* it’s gonna be EVEN MORE EPIC

 

*The Glasto factor = The additional vibes bought by excitement and build up to festival AND having 75% or the artists usual (often seated) audience replaced with party-hungry festival goers… which in turn inspires the artist to turn sh*t up to 11 (see also Macca or The Stones).

Yup. Reg ain't gonna know what's hit him.

00k amped up Glasto goers is going to be a moment.

That’s the real question here. Elton has all of us marked on his Clashfinder for Sunday night but Is HE ready?

[Justiceforcedave]

If he doesn’t cry I want my money back.

nice but might create a few practical issues 🙂 

[Superscally]

What do you think the odds of them closing the field and do you think it will be possible to get from War on Drugs to Elton missing the last 15 mins of WoD as a sunset WoD on Other will be heaven...

[CaledonianGonzo]

Depends which route you take. Go via the Acoustic and you'll be fine.
