elton john concert


Recommended Posts

So I went to see Elton John this Friday at MSG, and if anyone wasn't already sure, he is the fucking man. He started off playing songs from his new album which nobody wanted to hear, but I guess it was a neccesary evil.He got the crowd started with "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" which brought this really drunk guy who was out of control to tears. He then proceeded to play every song out of his book, including his tribute to John Lennon "Empty Garden."If any of you get the chance to see him live, seize it immediately. He is a one of a kind showman, and you can see he really enjoys what he does. If anyone was there let me know.

He does put on a show.Went to see him with Billy Joel here in Clemson, in the Valley, along with 52000 of my best friends, April 8, 1996. Most awesome 4 1/2 hours of music ever. The two of them started together, for a couple of songs, then Elton took the stage for a set. In the middle of his set Joel came back out and they did one of Billy's songs together, and then Joel left again. He came back out for his set after EJ was done, Elton popped back out when Joel did "Yellow brick Road", and Billy finished his set. The stadium was tired, and feeling peaceful as midnight came and went, but when the two of them cranked up" Whole Lotta' Shakin'" and "Great Balls O' Fire" to close the show, the place was jumpin like the Tiger football team can only dream about.Don't miss either one of them.Mensch
