Glastonbury 2023

[meltonblue]

Always loved the Sunday night headliner when I went to Glastonbury, not people I’d choose to go and see live on their own but the euphoria of being in a crowd like that watching legends with everyone signing all the words is an incredible feeling.

He’s absolutely smashing this so far.

That’s not true. He started a family and got involved with charity work.

Life as Yusuf Islam (1978–present)[edit]​

Muslim faith and musical career[edit]​

Yusuf Islam appearing at the Islam Expo in London (2008)
Following his conversion to Islam, Cat Stevens (now named Yusuf Islam), abandoned his musical career for nearly two decades. When he became a Muslim in 1977, the Imam at his mosque told him that it was fine to continue as a musician, as long as the songs were morally acceptable, but others were saying that "it was all prohibited", and he decided to avoid the question by ceasing to perform.[87] He has said that there was "a combination of reasons, really", and that the continuing demands of the music business had been "becoming a chore, and not an inspiration anymore".[87]

I mean it is just wiki but

Even with the big screens, how much will those right at the back actually SEE?

Tbf the pictures from Istanbul it looked mikes from the pitch but actually wasn’t it can be deceiving

 

[Blue and true]

Goodbye Yellowbrick Road - still his greatest track. Hits different that one

 

[Crooked_rain]

Did you really not notice when you first met or was it a rebound from the Roy Orbison lookalike chic?

Well she had a blonde bob and her bone structure reminded me of somebody and then I watched a Travelling Wilburys documentary and it clicked. the relationship didn't last too long after that actually

Agree. Great song.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Everyone is waiting for I’m dill danding

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Martin Tyler (purple jacket) on the drums.

Voice is exceptional but I'm sure he was using autocue for Pinball Wizard.

This is like a Matchday Forum.

 

[Lavinda Past]

He's absolutely coasting through this up to now. He'll start talking soon, drop a few F bombs to shock the grannies, and get more intense as he heads towards a big finale.

Standard.

 

[jimharri]

Or hear? In the open air like that, I bet most of the music is lost to the sky.

I don’t even like stadium gigs for the shit sound, never mind something on this scale.

True. At least it looks like a relatively still evening. If there was a breeze, the plebs at the back wouldn't hear a thing. Possibly speaker towers out there?

At least she didn't look like Jeff Lynne

Agreed.

Only Billy Joel rivals Elton on what he does. Fucking magician on that piano.

Elton is arguably a better pianist, him being classically trained. But they are both great at that broken chord, honky-tonk style.

Ray Cooper played with most people worth playing with over the years. Will only be out of work if his hands drop off.

 

[There is a Light]

Taking me back to soap bar, purple ohms and managing to get lost in orangefield park :)

Hahaha heady days

 

[Crooked_rain]

Must be a bit colder than it looks there

I saw a bird in a green vest at the blondie set earlier and just saw her again now elton's set, she was just on screen now at the Elton set and she has nipples like fighter pilots thumbs

He’s getting close with this one

Both amazing live. Unfortunately had to go to the Swamp to watch Billy.
