BBC Coverage 2023

[Calluna]

Just sounds incredible. We're in for a treat.

[sedra]

It’s going to be one of those Glastonbury moments and classic performances that makes me wish I was there- can’t believe I didn’t make it this year 😩 really missing it now 

[st dan]

Doubt we’ll ever see the field anywhere near this full again will we? Which of the big hitters could bring anywhere near this … possibly Oasis?

[Homersexual]

His enthusiasm is more infectious than anything. Legend.

He looked a bit frail walking on stage but absolutely solid opening.  The overhead crowd shots are insane, biggest crowd I've ever seen there, topping the stones by some distance I'd imagine.

Yeah I don’t think he’ll be jumping on the piano any time soon - walks like me at the moment ( I  just had hip replacement !!) expect he’ll stay sitting down for most of it. 

[Benjsh]

Really good so far. Voice sounding better than I thought it would at 76. 

Wish I was there. 😞

[dingbat2]

Great so far, just think what it's going to be like when he does the bangers. Sounds good, huge crowd, this is going to be something special, he knows why he's doing, judged it right so far

[Nicklord]

I can't understand 90% of the words he's singing. The crowd seems really into it and the energy can be felt through the screen as well

[Spindles]

It's just classic after classic tonight.

I don't know if even a reformed Oasis could outdo that crowd. Maybe Led Zeppelin if the impossible happens and they reform.

Oasis would have more of a chance than Zeppelin. Youngsters don’t give a sh*t about Zeppelin.

Are they fussed about Elton?

[Homersexual]

Just got goosebumps when everyone started singing along to Yellow Brick Road.

[onemoresolo]

Looks like he’s mixing this up a lot vs his regular setlist, interesting.

Yes they are. Elton had a big revival.

Yes. Loads of songs that literally everybody knows, especially after his little collaboration album with the likes of Dua etc got young’uns more familiar with his stuff.

Think Rocketman got a lot of younger fans into Elton too (if they weren't already)

[henry bear]

He’s knocking out some of the big guns early doors. Wonder what’s to come…

Yeah he’s had a massive career rejuvenation over the past few years. Don’t think he would’ve had such an insane crowd if he’d done it like five or so years back tbh.

Just lots more big guns. He’s got a lot.

[northernringo]

Yeah, I'd say Oasis is the only chance this crowd ever gets beaten.

Yeah I was 23 when I went to see that so not quite “one of the youth”, but it’s what made me give elton a proper listen

[al_coholic]

Oasis are not getting close to this. Liam is an incredibly lazy performer and divisive character

[Benjsh]

This is the Concorde moment for the festival. There's nobody left now that can top this field tonight. 

Stones was massive but not quite this big. Bowie sadly gone. Macca finished now. Led Zep isn't happening as much as I'd love it.

Running out of legends now.

Stoked for this. Feels like one of those headliners that’s been a long long time coming and suddenly everything fell perfectly in to place for it to happen.
