Elton played for 2 hours and 45 minutes which included 2 encores. The show started promptly at 8 pm. The play list was the same one as listed at the Hercules site.
His black baby grand piano was on stage (left side) with 2 giant screens above each side of the stage which made viewing "fantastic". Elton signed autographs on 2-3 occasions. Fans were allowed to come and stand at the stage as the show progressed. Before the concert ended, I believe the fans were 3-4 deep in front of the stage.
Pictures were allowed as long as the camera was not of bigtime professional looking quality. I personally stood behind the stage (great viewing ) and took a number of "home" pictures.
Elton did very little talking, he would finish one song and almost immediately start into another one. I was impressed that a 52 year old man could pack the house and have fans (from seven to seventy) screaming for more even after the limo was long gone ...
And oh yeah...... Coke should sponsor his show since he was drinking DIET COKE between each song........... !
