off to elton john gig tonight

[carolfoy]

well, what can i say? it was a strange concert really, the first 7 or 8 songs were ones nobody knew, there were a few real die hard fans in the audience who obviously had a new album or something and they were singing along but the twenty or so people directly around us were all looking as baffled as us he then sang Daniel and Rocketman so that got us going a bit then a few more obscure ones (he can still play the piano mighty well even if we didn't know what he was actually playing lol) then he slotted in I guess thats why they call it the blues (I think thtas the best Elton song anyway) and then a couple more unknowns, the last 45 minutes were the best though and we had all the greats, I want love, Sacrifice, Your song, Are you ready, I'm still standing, everyone was on their feet to the dismay of the health and safety people, and it ended on a real high.
Mum really enjoyed it too which was the main point as it was her birthday pressie, finally got home about half twelve, a great night out.
thanks for your good wishes but I didn't even take my camera so no pics I'm afraid!

Glad you enjoyed it Carol

Elton isn't someone I would jump at the chance of going to see, yet looking at the list of songs, some of his older stuff are classics (Your Song is probably in my top 5 songs).

Really liked the one he brought out recently as well (think it was called Ghetto Gospel??).

Was it a sell out Carol? or lots of seats free?

 

[carolfoy]

looked completely packed Kaylee, and at least it stayed dry (up until after when we queueing for the bus of course)

and Paul, i agree, I'm not a huge Elton fan but he really is a living legend and so talented
