Well I'm sure others will write and give a better review than I can..
But I like others loved the concert. The arena was PACKED. I was in Section 114 row Q behind the stage. SO we were really 4 rows from the back of the stage. The stage had a metallic screen with a Greek/Roman design I cannot report about the light show the others saw but it seems pretty well. After each selection Elton would stand and thank different sections of the audience. Heck I even got him to wave at me!! Also seeing the show from behind the stage gave me insight on how he and the band view the audience.
Elton came on stage with the band at approx 8:10 and played until 10:45pm He made 3 encores.... He wore a yellow coat and black shirt with purple glasses. During breaks he spoke to the audience and even signed autographs.. He made a few dedications to people in the crowd..
The LJVM Coliseum was rocking!! Here are some of the songs he played, and not in order (sorry):
The one... Tiny dancer Levon can you feel the love tonite Daniel Bennie and the Jets Saturday nite Philadelphia Freedom.. Take me to the Pilot several from the Big picture.. Your Song.. Made in England Guess thats why they call it the blues
Again I enjoyed my 6 or 7th time seeing him since 1976.. One girl who sat beside me said it was her first time seeing Elton. I think that she enjoyed the concert! when she was not distracted..
*****Also they DID ALLOW PHOTO CAMERA's there last nite.....****
If anyone reading this and took pictures write me let me know if you want to send me a photo...
***** NO VIDEO or AUDIO *******
The shirts were going for 25.00 3 different styles:
Programs were 15.00
Oh yeah one other thing.... I want to get up on my soap box now****** IF I offend anyone I'm sorry *******
During the concert these girls sat behind us and just yelled and whooped and hollered. They WERE DRUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How they got into the area I'll never know. They even spilt beer on me and several others causing major distractions. One girl even took off her top and showed her black BRA and danced.. While I thought that was all and well fine the Police Took Her out!!!!
Again I'm 39 and they were in their twenties... Maybe Im a little wiser now. I used to raise hell and still do given the right times....
How come every time I go to a concert I always have to sit near IDIOTS who distract me from watching who I payed to see the performer not them.
Hey I respect others and their right to have a good time but when its a bother to me and my friends I draw the Line.... PEOPLE STAY HOME!!!!!!
