Elton John Glastonbury Bingo! Suggestions..?

487 replies

I need enough to have at least 40 (ideally).

I have, so far, numerous songs, and suggestions for who the mystery guests will be.

I also have names of people who'd potentially be mentioned or spotted (as there won't be commentary during the set, just before - it's not as easy as it is when doing, say, Royal Wedding bingo!)

Each card will have a mixture of the obvious and the not so obvious.

However, hive mind, more suggestions would be great - I have 32 so far, but can also omit some if other better one's come up. There are five of us to make cards for.

Current list is below...

  1. I’m Still Standing
  2. Legend
  3. Harry Styles
  4. Paul McCartney
  5. Britney Spears
  6. Final
  7. Promises to be different
  8. Lady Gaga
  9. First time at Glastonbury
  10. Final UK show
  11. Rocket Man
  12. Kate Bush
  13. Special Guest
  14. Royalty
  15. Honky Cat
  16. The Bitch is Back
  17. Border Song
  18. Tiny Dancer
  19. Showman
  20. Ed Sheeran
  21. Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me
  22. Don’t Go Breaking My Heart
  23. Candle In the Wind
  24. Your Song
  25. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
  26. I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues
  27. Dua Lipa
  28. David Furnish
  29. Collaborations
  30. Circle Of Life
  31. Sworn to secrecy

A double necked guitar! Ain’t seen one of those in centuries.

They haven't been around for so many decades! 52 years ...

The band aren’t in the first flush of youth but they were fab. He hasn’t even taken a break has he?

Exactly..what a star

Tracker1234 · 25/06/2023 22:51

What about the Circle of Life?

WeeSaltire · 25/06/2023 22:51

Saw him at the Apollo in Glasgow in 1972 - he’s still the best and a consummate showman.

No Britney then?

the80sweregreat · 25/06/2023 22:52

Slash had a double guitar last night at Glastonbury

Piscesmumma1978 · 25/06/2023 22:52

Wow ❤️

the80sweregreat · 25/06/2023 22:53

I don't know what happened, but him and George fell out , had a spat and I think he felt bad about it

YellowAndGreenToBeSeen · 25/06/2023 22:53

HadEnoughOfBears · 25/06/2023 22:52

tell us more

It was firstly about George not being out and then later, about drugs.

mrpenny · 25/06/2023 22:53

Piscesmumma1978 · 25/06/2023 22:52

Wow ❤️

Truly

the80sweregreat · 25/06/2023 22:55

Amazing , the entire set
Loved it all
Goodbye Elton

MardiBras · 25/06/2023 22:55

Such good musicians ❤️

AutumnCrow · 25/06/2023 22:55

Loving the improv stuff

Ireallydontwantto · 25/06/2023 22:55

George and Elton singing don’t let the sun go down on me , is probably my favourite singing performance ever… I don’t think we have emotive songs/performances like that so much now ?

Teabutnotasweknowit · 25/06/2023 22:55

Thank you Elton. The doundtrack of my generation.

YellowAndGreenToBeSeen · 25/06/2023 22:55

This is beautiful.

Diegofrompennyburn · 25/06/2023 22:56

Fireworks are brilliant!

Teabutnotasweknowit · 25/06/2023 22:56

soundtrack obviously

the80sweregreat · 25/06/2023 22:56

What a send off

groupery · 25/06/2023 22:57

i wish i had seen him

DillDanding · 25/06/2023 22:57

TheOwlChronicles · 25/06/2023 22:38

@DillDanding what's awful about it?

I think because we are watching with our sons and their mates. They are enjoying it, but seeing him as a cringey pub singer. I don't think it helped every time he staggered up from the piano. They have a point; but we are old enough to like it despite the slight awfulness.

Appleofmyeye2023 · 25/06/2023 22:57

MardiBras · 25/06/2023 22:55

Such good musicians ❤️

I think we’ve really seen how bloody good Elton is on piano…all the bling and razz and energetic dancing around in his early days concerts wasn’t there, and able to see him just as a piano man
