So as the title states...the 'Rocket Man' himself will be in town in April, one week before my birthday and I'm buying tickets this coming Monday when they go on sale. I like about 5-6 of his songs off the top of my head, with his Disney work being my favorite.
I'll be honest, I'm mostly going cause the young lady I'm talking with wants to go and I want her to be happy. Plus, it's Elton John. Point of the thread is, has anyone been to his show before? What can I expect?...I feel like I would get bored if it's just 2 hrs of him sitting there at his piano singing...but I doubt that because nobody does it better, really.
So, whose seen the man Live in action before?

I have seen Elton live a few times. He is an incredible performer, and his shows are fantastic.
He usually tells a few stories here and there, but mostly, he just rocks his songs the entire time. Mostly his classics with a few odd b-sides or new songs thrown in.

He is playing at Bank Atlantic in like 2 weeks. I was moderately interested in going just to say I had seen him but I ended up having some other stuff going on. The tickets weren't bad imo. I think uppers were like $45 and sideline lowers were $155. I think it would have been completely worth it if I was able to go.

Yeah, front row is 140/person I believe, which isn't horrible, I know but -- at the moment, out of my price range.

Yeah, I don't own any of his stuff other than a Best of on vinyl. However, I saw him when I was in Vegas and the guy is very entertaining! Not cheap but worth it!

April 22nd in Mankato, MN CANNOT come soon enuf!!!!!!!!!!!! We're seeing him the 21st here in Ft. Wayne...Got you beat by a day friend... My favorite artist is definitely MJ, unfortunately, I'll never be seeing him perform... When do tickets go on sale for your show? I have to be up crazy early Monday, the Ticket Office is expecting a line. I've never bought tickets for an event that would sell out before... |

Halloween King is more than entitled to their opinion...I'm more interested in the company I'm going with than the artist himself. He's her favorite musician, at least alive, and I'm pretty excited to get to give her this. So for me it's not about the music (though as originally stated, I do enjoy several of his songs)...but the lovely young woman I'll be escorting... |
