NorthernSoul52 Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 Returning from having lost my password again to say, inspired by Elton, I'd take Billy Joel for Sunday, Clive. (Big argument over whether he is better suited to seventy-five minutes as a legend or two hours as an outright headliner though.) Either way: 1 Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway) 2 My Life 3 Zanzibar 4 Vienna 5 The Entertainer 6 Just the Way You Are 7 An Innocent Man 8 Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) 9 Don't Ask Me Why 10 The Longest Time 11 New York State of Mind 12 Big Shot 13 Allentown 14 The River of Dreams 15 Scenes from an Italian Restaurant 16 We Didn't Start the Fire 17 Uptown Girl 18 It's Still Rock and Roll to Me 19 You May Be Right 20 Only the Good Die Young 21 Piano Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But remember a year or so ago, there were a lot of people on these boards saying Elton was defo a 'Legend' and not in contention for headliner status... 2022 was such an innocent time. tbh Billy is one of those acts of his vintage I have still yet to see and would love to have at the farm.

I think it was a bit earlier than that. 2015-2018 or so when he was touring rural cricket pitches it was a valid point - but then the combination of his Farewell Tour and the fact he started having hit records again catapulted him back into the Headliner or Nothing category.

This would actually be a good move and really cool booking. Edited September 7, 2023 by SomeoneListeningIn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty hard for an act with the kind of record company support that Bad Bunny must have to chart as badly as this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he could deliver an all time great Sunday afternoon set, but could do so much more. Anything short of headline would be an outright criminal waste. Get him to close the stage and he'd nail it.
