Comments: This recording captures Sir Elton's headlining set at the "British Summer Time" festival on June 25, 2022. Very solid audience recording which didn't require any EQ. Considering that this was a GA/festival setting, there is a notable absence of obnoxious crowd noise. You do hear some close-mic conversations between quiet moments and between songs, but nothing too annoying.

Typical setlist for the tour, I believe; this farewell tour has basically become a Broadway production (Elton notes that it is the 233rd show of the tour, with roughly 100 to go). Not that it makes anything bad; it's just a pretty well-oiled production at this point.

Many thanks to TallTaper for taping and sharing. I was just the helper who EQ'd and tracked it.
