Thought fatboy was coming out for a sec

He did looking like a great big pink ball

Funny thing is - Norman didn’t even remix it. Ashley Beedle did, but got released on Southern Fried I think

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

I can’t see any Albion flags, guess they have all left five hours early to get the train before the rush.

Elton John is sounding the best he has for years really good performance

 

[AmexRuislip]

He (and others) do seem to pull it out of the bag at Glasto.

 

[Questions]

Blimey lads, it’s Glasto. Share a joint or something and give each other a hug, there’s good boys.

I went in 1979 and didn’t go in

 

[Machiavelli]

Elton guest predictions...

Britney Spears
Rina Sawayama
Dua Lipa
Maybe Eminem or Lil Nas X or Jake Shears.

Guest number one:
Elton has impeccable taste

I think there's more there than the whole of my first Glasto in '92. Insane amount of people....good luck finding your tent.

Last time I saw/heard him broadcast live was during Covid lockdown and he was in full pub-singer mode.

Doing GREAT tonight. What a way to bow out.

I was just about to make exactly the same point, you are correct that it was released on Southern Fried so our Norm did have some involvement but he wasn’t responsible for the remix of the song itself.

You should have seen the state of us when Ali Mac powered that penalty past De Gea in the 99th minute

 

[Farehamseagull]

Every single tune a banger! What a legend.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

It's the boring bit in the middle. Looking forward to Crocodile Rock...

Amazing voice for a 76 year old

 

[ManOfSussex]

Was that Macca in the crowd then?

Four days in... drugs taking their toll 🫨

He is a consummate performer, he knows his limitations and is playing within them. He has changed the key of most of the songs and is letting the backing singers hit the high notes. He is doing really well so far.

 

[BN41Albion]

Superb so far
