Just got in from the Chicago concert. Elton seemed a little hoarse during the show but sounded as good as ever to me. His set list pretty much followed those listed in other spoilers although he did not play can you feel the love tonight. Great show and because it was the only chicago area appearance New world theater was packed. Took us 1 hour to go 2 miles on Hgwy 80 getting in and over 1 1/2 hours getting out of the parking lot. the show itself was uneventful but with lots of energy. Elton signed many autographs and shook a lot of hands and seemed to be having a good time. But again seemed a bit tired. Has a show to do in Indy tonight so I am sure schedule is wearing on him. l Will see him again in two weeks in Madison, WI.
For all you people wanting to get the Citibank CD,what is your problem? Haven't you gone to a show. they had cases Cases of the darn thing in Chicago. They were handing them out as people went to the bathroom and as we were walking out. The couple we were with and we got our copy and had I not been so busy discussing the show with our friends I would have realized what I had just gotten and picked up a few more. the cd itself is a marketing tool for Citibank online services. It includes a netscape communicator ver 4.5, three ej tunes which can be played on a pc or cd player. an audio player, a video player, three games, three lame videos using the present ej stage set (still pictures of the set with still photos of ej appearing while one of three songs plays. Not really a video . An ej screen saver is also included, If I am able I will try to abscond with more copies from Madison show and I will post if I get any. For all those going to future shows, just look around the grounds, I am sure somewhere there are cases of this cd waiting to be had.
Gotta hit the sack now. Only got 3 hrs sleep after driving back to Rockford, IL from the show. Elton, see you in two weeks.
