100%. Sorry Seems to be the hardest word might have gone down well.

That's been in his usual touring set, played it when I saw him at the O2 a couple of months ago.

Not done the Dua Lipa video, that was weird.

Not brought out TikTok Tommy Teacakes out.

Done "I want Love" & "Nikita" to replace them.

Otherwise, setlist was spot on.

Started a rewatch. The drone shots are gobsmacking.

The level of delirium in the crowd for the Crocodile Rock / Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting / I'm Still Standing section is quite something.

Folks going f**king bananas 🍌

The Highlight for me.

Reg's face when the "la la las" are sung back to him.

That was my favourite on the night & it works on TV too.

Yip. Glastonbury Gold right there.

Might do a little rewatch now. I did enjoy the Brandon Flowers appearance, Elton seems to support and mentor a lot of new artists as they are coming up.

That was the point of those guest spots. He is thinking about the future and seems to have gone over lots of peoples heads because he didnt have Gaga or Eminem show up who need zero exposure right now. Go listen to his Rocket Hour show and he loves talking about new acts he is listening to. And its frustrating why Stephen Sanchez gets seen as a bad guest because he is just seen as a tik tok artist for some reason. He aint Ice Spice.

 

With the tour ending this weekend he will cross the $900 mil mark and for now will hold the highest grossing tour record ever.

Just watching it myself. We were by the pylon at the very back of the field. Had to pause simply to marvel at the number of people between us and the stage.

Dont think I’ve been to a gig with so many people anywhere, ever.

I really didn't think his set or performance was that good tbh, a solid 7/10. 

I thought I'd regret missing him more but I don't, he didn't even play Love Lies Bleeding.

Got a video of my 5 year old doing the “La La La laaaas”.

Does anyone have anything like official estimates of the crowd size? Definitely the biggest crowd I can ever remember seeing.

Heard talk of 100-120k.

Pretty much every other person across the entire site was at Reg.

I would say around 130 - 140k, row mead was full. I say there was more people than at a knebworth gig and that up to 125k

Bought the hoodie last week and it's arrived today, it's really good quality and the print on the back is amazing.

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!

That would have largely resulted in tumbleweeds from an audience not even that familiar with Daniel.

The roar of the crowd as he plays the opening bars for I’m still standing are something else.

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

Brilliant.

I thought he missed a trick. At the end of the song, the crowd were all still doing it.

He should have let it go on... very minor quibble. But he doesnt normally get a crowd like that

I was in a pub on a Friday night a few months back and it came on as part of the ambient music.

By the end the entire pub was singing along.

That gave me an inkling that it could well go off.

Demand I guess….or they’ve seen them on eBay for £150.

Had a littile look at a few major band / artists hoodies and it seems to be in the right ball park. Didn’t want to pay over the odds.

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