Elton is giving it some.... on 22:11 - Jun 25 by SlippinJimmyJuan
I like Elton's music a lot but not enjoying this that much. His heart is definitely in it, his playing is lovely and some of the vocals are pretty good for a man of his age.
The bum notes and at times unintelligible lyrics are hard to listen to though. Completely understandable at this point in his career and still think he has outshone the other headliners, but for me it's just a shame that they left it this long to get him there when he has clearly seen better days. Same thoughts on McCartney last time really.
That really is nonsense.

I don't think I said anything unfair - it just isn't as good as it could have been in my opinion. Have to say the run from Crocodile Rock was pretty good, but now we have hit a pretty ropey rendition of Cold Heart and I'm back not enjoying it much again.

Kiki still has a good figure for a 76 year old
I saw Elton in 1989 or 1990, my daughter saw him last year.
.....long may the olduns continue to headline Glastonbury - after all, they will be replaced by other olduns soon - but this is a special type of oldun and the special types are getting very old now.
Has Kiki been on? I only just put it on to see if she was going to make an appearance.

But those on social media saying it must be biggest ever crowd haven’t got a clue. Before the ring of steel fence that was introduced in the early 00s, the Levellers had over 300k for their headline set in 1994.

Stop moaning about it …..and switch it off then
Who's moaning? I just gave an opinion on art, which is subjective? Some of you just seem a bit upset I don't wholeheartedly agree with you. A very good end to the show with Rocket Man too.

A Kiki impersonator did appear, but not as good as Kiki.

I started listening to Elton in the very very early 70's and love loads of his music, tonight was a fantastic way to close a brilliant career. Actually my thoughts are, OMFG, WOW WOW WOW. That was a completely and utterly amazing, performance. Thank you for the music Sir Elton.

I enjoyed it. Amazing songwriter and performer.
For nostalgia purposes, opening tracks on an album don’t get much better than this:

His voice does come across as the 'pub singer' at times tonight
However, this is because he is singing it with passion and absolute commitment. Over the years he has been there. Consistently producing quality songs after quality songs.
A truly fitting closing act to Glastonbury
To quote the Rocket Man 'I think it's going to be a long, long time' before any act surpasses this (and not because it is another year ahead)
Awesome set

Heart and emotion in every song, one thing to think about is that he would receive the lyrics in the post from Bernie Taupine, Elton would write the music to these lyrics and record three or four tracks a day. Amazing talented song writer and performer.

The song by Stephen Sanchez is superb. A modern version of Elvis and you could see it meant everything to him to perform with Elton tonight. The wife and I were loving it all but we're not musical people, just loving the show

He’s going out in style, fair play to him.
But those on social media saying it must be biggest ever crowd haven’t got a clue. Before the ring of steel fence that was introduced in the early 00s, the Levellers had over 300k for their headline set in 1994.

And I was one of them.
Not sure it was even close to 300k though.

I thought he was one of the best headliners Glasto have had for many, many years.
On the one hand, it was a fantastic show for the neutrals and those who only have a passing interest in Elton John’s music. It was hit after hit and a fantastic show. His voice was far better than it has been so that was also great.
For those of us who delve a bit deeper into his catalogue, I’d like to have seen him throw in a few deeps cuts like Macca did last year.
Indian Sunset, Madman Across the Water, Mona Lisa’s and Mad Hatters etc.
Can’t fault his set list for the crowd at Glastonbury though.

Would think he probably does on his own tour, but with Glasto, it's obviously more about playing the classics as they won't be as hardcore as his usual base.
One of the issues Arctic Monkeys had was that they didn't play many of their hits and focused on new stuff.

Yeah completely understand the set list. It was perfect for Glastonbury. But I found McCartney’s set more fulfilling because he played so many deep cuts.
