Gonna make a point of rewatching it in the coming days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like watching it on a 20 inch screen with the sound turned down to 1 Really don't see the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah not really, it was so packed I doubt being closer would have made much difference. Besides, it was cute seeing my daughter do the โnanna nanna naasโ to Crocodile Rock. Like I said, it was very, very good, but Iโve enjoyed other sets even more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My rating was definitely influenced by watching it from the extended field. Well 'watching' is stretching it. I wouldnt do that again. Pit or go home is the only big stage way forward for us.

So was quite happy at GF to hang back and soak up the vibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Not convinced that the closer you are, the better the experience. I was miles away for blur and it was still the best show ive ever seen. ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.ย I'm not even an Elton John fan in day to day life but I absolutely loved it at the time, and looking back now I realise how amazing it was I got to be there!ย Worry is that my Glasto experience has peaked too early (and this was my first year going) and who would top that on the pyramid stage for me now?ย ๐ ย haven't watched the full set back yet so might put it on tonight and re-live it all again ๐ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
