Will watch the full set on Tuesday night. Not in a position to buy tickets to the Hydro show until the end of July, very much hoping there's still some left. I'm in the same boat. Hoping for standing tickets still being available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When auld Reg snuffs it and the TV show the tributes - just whack on his Glastonbury 2023 set to show what he did at age 76. I saw Elton at the Apollo in the 80s and he was brilliant live then. It was his first tour with his old original band again. I haven't seen him since and thought he was done years ago. I was wrong, he was superb tonight. Thought the musicians in Blondie earlier on today were way ahead of the vocals, albeit I still quite enjoyed watching them. As for the QOTSA - I don't get what folk see in them, a lot like The Foo Fighters. Each to their own though.

As for the QOTSA - I don't get what folk see in them, a lot like The Foo Fighters. Different strokes etc. Personally I love QOTSA but am not a big fan of The Foo Fighters. Like you, I enjoyed Blondie but I think they need to call it a day. Debbie just can’t sing anymore unfortunately and, let’s face it, she IS Blondie. It was interesting to watch Debbie Harry, Elton (snippets) and Cat Stevens today. All in their mid 70s but Cat Stevens’ voice was almost as good as ever and he seemed much more youthful and sprightly then the other two. I know Elton has had issues with his voice in the past and he sounded ok today but he looked a bit wobbly on his feet. Everyone ages differently I suppose and we should enjoy them while we can as they’ll likely all be gone in a decade or so. Sad to think of how many musical superstars will be gone soon.

pub car king Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Agree blondie were rocking it. The issue was the near 80 year old woman trying to keep up. Would have loved to have seen them back in the day. Elton has fared a lot better with age. 15 minutes ago, paul wright scores said: I saw Elton at the Apollo in the 80s and he was brilliant live then.

Shandon Par Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Make it wit Chu morphing into the Rolling Stones’ Miss You was cool. The singer introduced himself as Elton John though and I’m not sure he’s telling the truth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Tunbridge Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) All that was missing from Elton’s performance was him actually resurrecting George Michael, fair play from a non Watford FC fan Edited June 25, 2023 by Scotty Tunbridge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brainier Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I thought it was great that Steven Sanchez allowed Elton John to open and close his set for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed a trick by doing his full Vegas show, if he'd stuck to his early 70s stuff it could have been legendary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Elton fucking John, give yourselves a collective shake. He sounded like he'd had a tongue transplant from a giraffe. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His constant stretching out of the lyrics and generally changing the tempo ruined the set for me. I thought they were really poor. They were never ones for engaging with the crowd though were they? Turner used to come across as cocky and likeable but now he comes across like he’s taking the piss and totally arrogant. Elton superb though, can’t believe I stayed up for it all on the sabbath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like Golden Wonder making crisps and patio furniture. I found out a couple of years back that Michelin (the tyre company) is the same company that hands out Michelin stars to top class restaurants. Absolutely bizarre pair of industries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely bizarre pair of industries. The Michelin one isn’t as bizarre as it sounds. The guide was started way back in the early days of motoring as a way of rating restaurants for folk travelling in those new fangled motor cars in which they, obviously had a vested interest in encouraging.
