Glastonbury 2023

Watching Elton John at Glastonbury is like being forced to watch your Nan having an orgasm.

Jfc Frieda.

I thought he was great, all killer, no filler, and him championing a lot of new artists in his final UK gig was weirdly moving and a testament to his love of music

 

[pbsmooth]

Smashed it. Best pop headliner in years.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

That was a masterclass.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Hit after hit, songs that have stood the test of time. Dunno if Elton was ever the greatest of singers, he sure as hell isn't now (Vic Reeves in the club style?) but he's always been and still is a performer.

I was watching at the start with little more than curiosity to see who he brought out as guests, but that was a brilliant set and the finale of Rocket Man was was utterly superb.

 

[friedaweed]

Did you see the size of his Kamode ?

 

[tommers]

Did you see the size of his Kamode ?

Is that the guy who reviews films?

 

[neonwilderness]

I only really put it on out of curiosity, but that was the best of the three headliners I reckon

 

[Dystopiary]

Has anyone seen this?

All my nans are dead so that would be quite impressive.

I'd probably fear death somewhat less if I knew I could still reach climax from beyond the grave

Elton was phenomenal. I danced all over my living room & nearly cried several times. Loved the shots of the crowd in their outfits & that glimpse of the people in the crowd marriage proposal.

 

[Dr. Furface]

Well that was quite the way to bow out.

 

[Sasaferrato]

That was absolutely superb. I'm listening again at the moment.

High energy throughout, just off a two year tour and 75, what stamina.

What a swansong.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Well that was quite the way to bow out.

Wasn't it?

I tried to go and see Elton John, but even half an hour before showtime the field was busier than I’ve seen it for a long time, so I decided to do something else. It struck me that I hadn’t been to visit William of Walworth’s memorial properly yet, so I wandered up to it, and got to watch and listen to the crowd for Elton John from across the valley, which was pretty interesting.

In death as in life, he was unable to roll himself a spliff, so I rolled him one, just to keep that Glastonbury tradition alive, and sat there for a good while remembering him. Here’s the view from his memorial from this evening from my visit.



The setting sun was shining through two stones onto the memorial too, which was lovely.

Your Nan must be worth watching then. He still has his faculties and did a great performance.

I want to know the story behind a "Send Nudes" sign I saw.

I wonder if it was
a) a fake number
b) their number
c) the number of a friend (prank)
d) the number of an ex (for revenge like that Chewbacca competition one but very nasty)

Arcadia to finish

 

[savoloysam]

Never been an Elton fan but I enjoyed his set. His voice still holds out and I was surprised at how many of the younger ones were enjoying it too.

 

[seeformiles]

I was drunk and in tears during Cat Stevens’ set - just beautiful

 

[cupid_stunt]

Now talking about Rocket Man, which one of you ordered a Domino's?



Imagine sitting there tripping, only to have him buzz over your head.



Still, I suppose it's one way of avoiding the on-site prices.

I'll be downloading loads this week, with 'get_iplayer', which converts iplayer files to MP4 format, removing the digital copyright stuff that normally deletes downloads 30 days after you watch them. I am amazed it still works after so many years and the BBC hasn't found a way to stop it.

It does make me laugh, as a tool to crack the digital copyright, it still reminds you that a TV licence is required to access BBC iPlayer TV content legally.

So, hypothetically, would one need a TV licence to download the files first or do you give this get_iplayer thing a URL and off it goes ? Hypothetically ?

Well, basically I just open 'get_iplayer' on my laptop*, paste in the iplayer URL and off it goes, but I guess by doing so I am technically accessing the iplayer.

*You see a command line, type in 'get_iplayer', leave a space, paste in the URL - C:\Users\mike>get_iplayer[space][paste URL]

Then I transfer the files from the laptop to an external hard-drive, to plug into the TV.

Kill all the flag people

I’ve just torrented them to my plex sever to watch
