DeanoL Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 Your farewell tour doesn't last this long and get constantly extended if the show is rubbish. Nor do tickets sell at £150+ for those shows. A name like Elton could certainly still keep going on name recognition alone while putting out a mediocre show, but not for this long, at those prices, in those size venues.

I'll keep saying this, if I can end my evenings with Prodigy/Fred Again and then Pulp > Elton, it would be an all time. That would be my perfect outcome!!

They were superb every time I saw them (the last time was 1993). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitehorses Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) If the recent headliners were organised slightly differently; E.g. 2022 had been Billie, Arctics, Macca and 2023 Kendrick, GNR, Elton then most of these arguments dissolve.

As CalGon says it’s just the Dill Danding stuff people use as a stick to beat him with. I don't have any experience of seeing him live and in all honesty I'll probably see him at the farm, but haven't people also said that Disney live performance is bad? I don't have Disney so haven't seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have Disney so haven't seen it. I only count the opinion of people who have actually seen someone live. A recording of a concert can not come across well even when people there have enjoyed it tremendously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setlist is pretty much all songs I know and I’m more of a casual listener to music than most on here … I think it’ll be my most known headliner ever it’s gonna be an absolute blast with everyone singing along … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomicide Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 The Disney+ thing is pretty poor but the crowd seem to be having a great time, which is how it should ultimately be judged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip997 Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 4 hours ago, MEGABOWL said: That Stones one was funny. The difference in perception between people watching at home and those in the field felt huge. Maybe it wasn’t but reading the comments when I got home on the Monday was a real eye opener. I must have assumed everyone would enjoy it as much as the people around me in the field did. So naive. I was in the field for about 15/20 minutes. They were poor, I left. Public Enemy were superb. Lemmy once said the Stones are a great studio band, but a bad live act. Reckon he knows more than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sub Elton? they are massive, but I think they’d appreciate subbing. But I’m leaning more secret set as well. Which would be utter chaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Neil’s info is correct then Lizzo and Capaldi are on the same day. Doubtful The 1975 are subs either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
