So, as many of you know I went to the Elton John concert on Wednesday night. Wow, what a great show! He opened with "Funeral For A Friend" (an old but very good song) and then followed that with "The Bitch Is Back" (my theme song, lol) before playing what seemed like every top song he ever came out with. His encore started with him spending 15 minutes signing autographs for people in the front row before he sat down to play "Pinball Wizard" and then finally "Your Song" which he dedicated to his fans. I think the highlight was him doing "Candle In The Wind" and "Daniel" solo, just him and the piano, OMG, I had chills, he sounded incredible!! I really wanted to take my camera but there were signs all across the entrance and they were checking bags when you went in so the camera stayed in the car. Of course as soon as the concert started there were flashes going off everywhere so I guess I should've been a rebel and tried to sneak the camera in! The girl I went with got a few pics. on her cell phone so hopefully one of them got okay.
Hopefully I'll see him again next year. There's a BIG rumor going around that Billy Joel is coming out of retirement to go on tour with Elton. This comment was made by Billy's guitarist and also by Elton so I'm hopeful that it will happen. I saw that concert in 2003 and I'll be fighting for those tickets again!
