I’ve just bought this. Wish I bought it at the time or when I saw this though. Needed pay day to come in. Hopefully worth £78!

 

still haven’t quite come down from the high!

Glad I bought it at Glastonbury for £60

Just read an interview with him in the Glasto week Radio Times. Says he may do a ‘Kate Bush type residency’ in the future, but only in the UK

He’ll play again I’m sure of it, he’ll still the odd one off gig.

Give it a couple of years and BST will chuck a load of cash at him.

I enjoyed how it went Croc to Saturday to Standing without so much as pausing for breath.

Normally I'd agree... maybe Croc Rock should have been the last of the 3? It is only a very very minor quibble

The atmosphere for Crocodile Rock was outstanding. Didn’t expect that to be one of my faves. 

I felt the same about Are You Ready For Love. There was so much love in my bit of the crowd for that one, it spanned generations.

Just getting a chance to watch it now. The singalong to the piano riff at the beginning of Bennie And The Jets is astonishing.

So happy I was there.

And can I point out what a bloody great pianist Elton John is.

Are you Ready for Love was incredible, expected it to be though. Probs my favourite part of the set

Watching it back, those aerial shots are truly something else. What an amazing experience to have been there.

October is going to be sheer bedlam.

Email from Reg suggesting plenty more gigs to come.

Yip. And to be fair to him he never said it was his last ever show....

BST 2025 is my bet.

Wasn’t his Glasto show labelled as his last ever UK performance?

Final uk stop on his last ever tour, it’s a bit of a string vest of a promise

Yip. His last tour, but not his last gig.

A little too ironic?

TV coverage of Elton's set has officially reduced all of our chances of getting tickets by 300% 😭 potentially a really interesting shift in demographic next year. Please don't become like Latitude 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Just watching TOTP Review of 2023

And they scrolled a message saying the full Elton John Glastonbury set will be on iplayer from New Year's Day

[Gnomicide]

So... 6 months on, now it has had time to nestle a little firmer into the memory banks, how do people view Elton's set?

I didn't comment on the thread at the time but I really enjoyed it, probably more than I expected to. I've enjoyed a fair few other Pyramid headliners more (I don't think anything will ever top the Stones for me) but yeah... it was pretty spectacular. 

[MrZigster]

I'll be interested to see if they have added (much needed) subtitles since broadcast.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Haven’t watched it back since just afterwards, so think I'm ready for a re-visit with a few refreshments..

Is there anywhere that one could watch the full Stones set?

It was about as good as a headline set could be. 

Kendrick the previous year is still my overall favourite ever set at Glastonbury. 

But…..

The crowd for Elton was the best I’ve been a part of. I doubt I’ll ever be in another situation where that many people are all so full of joy. 

Solid 9.5/10.
