Boomtowner Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Watching the Gabriels, and it made me wonder, what were the best cover versions that you heard this year at the festival? I'll start; Private Dancer - Gabriels Here comes the Sun = Cat Stevens (a real Glastonbury moment for me) Like a Prayer - Sophie Ellis-Bextor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutted I missed the Risk Astley / Blossoms set, just completely forgot, as I had them down for Friday. Just seen the set this evening, looked a lot of fun. I excluded them from my list as I wasn't there, but thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought there would be someone who said this, didn't think it would be the first response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Cat Steven’s and Gabriel’s for sure, also Elton’s Pinball Wizard. Plus Ninotchka in the Avalon Cafe covering classic Irish songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franswa Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 - Elton John - Pinball Wizard - Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Like a Prayer - Oh my God, It's the Church - Gay Bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantkatestacks Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 I am obsessed with Rick Astley now. Special mention for Elvana and their moshie conga as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolsgold1981 Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Like a Prayer properly blew me away. Was a bit “meh” when she started as I love that song so much but she absolutely did that justice. As mentioned - Here Comes the Sun was truly special Genuinely can’t decide between Highway to Hell for the pure “wow” factor and Pinball Wizard which was the perfect choice to start (apparently he hasn’t played it live since 2009 either!)

Skip997 Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Can't remember hearing a single straight cover all weekend. But Kelis and her band did some fantastic "mash-ups" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomViolence Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Not strictly a cover but I enjoyed Rina doing Beg for You. + 1 for Gabriels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDaze Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Here comes the Sun was marvellous indeed.. My biggest disappointment was the lack of cover from Hot Chip.. I felt sure they would nail an absolutely belter version of an Elton tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
