Enjoyed Ezra Collective, and liked the brief snippet of the Australian band that was on while they were waiting for Elton John so I'm going to find out more about them. Love Phoenix who are playing shortly so looking forward to seeing their set after

Elton will surely close with goodbye yellow brick road

Nah that's Goodbye Highfield Road bias!

Glad he did Pinball Wizard. Although a lot of the crowd will have no idea what it was.

 

[ajsccfc]

He's not really pronouncing many words, but with this many hits everyone knows what he's trying to say

Already played it, so assume candle in the wind or Rocket Man.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

He should of let the crowd finish off are you ready for love ,

All the highlights for me so far have been on the smaller stages, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Sparks on the Park stage Friday, The Pretenders yesterday and I really enjoyed The War On Drugs earlier today, oh and I'd say G&Rs sound had it right drowning out Rose, he's a pub singer who got lucky being in the same band as Slash.

 

[clint van damme]

I was (un) fortunate enough to have caught half of one of Eltons previous festival appearances and I have to say this is much better!

 

[It’sabatch87]

Not the biggest Elton John fan, but what a performance!!
Enjoyed that.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Tell you what he should of called that the Producing the goods show . Absolutely brilliant

 

[Finham]

The Britney and "Gaga" fans won't be happy with Elton's actual guest stars!

Queens of the Stone Age played a storming set. Nice tribute to Mark Lanegan. Sure they were going to do an encore that the iplayer has cut off. Maybe the delayed TV version will oblige (I doubt it).

 

[Otis]

Not a fan of Elton John or Guns and Roses at all, so will totally skip them.

I have recorded the entire Glastonbury coverage on the BBC. I intend to try and catch, Queens of the Stone Age, Viagra Boys, Generation Sex , the Foos and Sparks and some newer bands I have never heard of before, just to give them a whirl and see if I like them or not.

Not been impressed with the line up this year at all to be honest. Usually there is at least one band I am really excited to see.

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

Queens of the stoneage smashed out their biggest hits at the start of the set. I thought that’s a bit unusual

 

[Nick]

Fair play to Lewis capaldi.

 

[PVA]

Queens of the Stone Age were immense.

War on Drugs were great too, one of my favourite bands.

You should make use of iPlayer. It has the entire library on there of every set from the week available on demand. Saves recording the whole lot and doing lots of fast forwarding!

I think Otis has it on Betamax, remote on a wire and has to turn it over and fast forward if he wants to rewind.

Sounds a bit too modern!

They are a new one on me, so I will check them out.

I do actually use iPlayer too, but always tend to record everything as well.

It's either that or try and listen to everything on the wireless.

Looks a ghastly place, full of middle class champagne socialists, paying £300 a ticket whilst pretending they care for the poor, not washing, queuing for toilets, overpriced food and drink, cheering Jeremy Corbyn and Greta Thunberg, then leaving the place looking like an environmental nightmare. Apparently morning yoga classes for the masses this year too.

Have you seen the thread "You know you're getting old when ..."??
But i am absolutely with you.
I also can't fathom how the Beeb can just spending the licence fee on promoting a commercial enterprise and sending a reported THOUSAND of its staff to cover it!!

 

[PurpleBin]

I watched Lightning Seeds last night, brilliant set! You forget just how many good songs they had. Sweet look from Ian Broudie as they started "Life of Riley" (which some older readers will remember as the music between the goals on Match of the Day) as Ian looked at the guitarist...who is his son Riley, whom the song was written about when he was a small child! "Lucky You" and "Sense" also brilliant.

They of course gave in to the mass expectation and "reluctantly" played "Three Lions" (thankfully with no guest stars) and it went down really well, as you'd expect.

True story, one of my mates is best friends with Riley. Couldn't help myself first time I met him (and anyone else who seemingly meets him) mentioning it

 

[PurpleBin]

The Murder Capital and Shame were brilliant.

Probably because the BBC's output from Glastonbury is wildly popular, and licensed/re-sold around the world. I'm guessing it's a huge money-spinner for the BBC.

 

[Otis]

The Murder Capital and Shame were brilliant.

Another two bands I am not aware of.

Both quality. If you like Idles or Fontaines DC then you'd like these two.

Love Idles. Only heard one or two songs of Fontaines DC and liked them.

Will suss these out.

Elton John’s set was watched by more than 7 million people on BBC1, making it one of the highest rating programs of the year.

Yeah, but 20 million people watched the coronation and that wasn't very good either.

Yes, but 10 million people watched Mrs Brown's Boys and The Birdie Song got to number one. (I do still really like it by the way)

Just saying that people are daft.

 

[It’sabatch87]

Just watching Generation Sex, Four Legends especially Cook and Jones who was told he couldn’t pay guitar, self taught genius!!
Made my day!!!

Yeah, sure, OK, but he can't fathom it. It's THOUSAND, T-H-O-U-S-A-N-D, thousand in capital. OK? Yeah, MATE.
