Which Elton track are you looking forward to the most?

[kalifire]

For those excited to see Elton, obviously. There are just so many golden tracks. Which one do you think will provide you with a moment to remember?

Blame Cameron Crowe, Tiny Dancer

 

[dondo]

Love a lot of Elton but for me Tiny Dancer due in part to it being featured in this film (as posted above by @Boomtowner!)

It's got to be 'Tiny Dancer'....but I'd be in bits if he did 'Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me'......and bought Gaga out to guest. 

[dreams_burn_down]

Probably 'Rocket Man'... or maybe 'I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues'

[Avalon_Fields]

Top 3 for me are Rocket Man, Tiny Dancer and Bennie & the Jets because it’s particularly good live.

I imagine Cold Heart may be huge if Dua Lipa turns up.

cold ❤️ with dua  and 🚀 man

Yes, Tiny Dancer and Rocket Man are particularly powerful. Not sure if he ever plays Song For Guy but I’ve always found it quite affecting.

But I’ll also be especially pleased if we get any deep cuts from the 70s that don’t get played that often if at all, and the casuals wouldn’t recognise. I’ll take Amoreena, Holiday Inn, Mona Lisas and Madhatters, Ticking or any song from Captain Fantastic.

A good 75% of his setlist 

[Olshansky]

Earlier in the tour he was playing "Daniel" and seems to have dropped it in favor of including "Cold" 

I'm kinda hoping Daniel makes it's way back somewhere in the set.  If not, I'm happy to hear whatever

He played Daniel last Friday in Liverpool  🙂

This... (maybe 'Someone saved my Life' might split them)

Tiny Dancer is everyone's new favourite..

[JB3]

That’s why they call it the blues

[Dan :D]

Thought it’d be “Are you ready for love” but he hasn’t played it since 2014 😞

hell yeah!!!  that's great news! 

[MrZigster]

I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues

Rocket Man

[balti-pie]

Bennie and the jets (which I’ve always fancied as a big slow doom/sludge metal cover, for some reason - get to it Green Druid or Mammoth weed wizard bastard!) 

[MrZigster]

I wonder if Bernie Taupin  gets a ticket?

Does anyone know if there's any reason for this? One of his last fairly big hits before his recent renaissance 

[Boomtowner]

I'm hoping for this era as well. Elton wasn't played by my parents, they were more Motown and Beatles fans. My first experience of Elton was the 80's one and when he owned Watford, and I wasn't impressed. It took the release of Almost Famous for me to discover his stuff from the 70's, and I'm a big fan of this. I consider most of his 80's output to be cheesy pop but I'm still a fan.

[Twiggy553]

Rocket man

[Gnomicide]

Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me could well be the song that gets me there, though I guess the chance of George Michael turning up are slim.

[Breeze]

Tiny Dancer may be the biggest singalong in Glasto history. 

But, whether you think it cheesy or not, 'Can you feel the love tonight' at Glasto among ~120,000 of your closest friends might be pretty special. 

[Gnomicide]

I don't like Tiny Dancer. I'm planning on sulking while everyone else sings it.

If you get upset, I hope someone holds you closer and lays you down in sheets of linen.
