The prices are definitely outrageous! But mom was treating me as an early birthday gift, so I happily accepted! :o) eom Tukey

I saw him here at our arena which is also home to the SJ sharks, so my complaint is the arena sometimes depending if you are sitting higher the sound bounces off.
I think those arenas are way to big for EJ. I would of liked if I could to see him at a smaller place. I got his tee shirt, bought the new CD when I saw him. Loved it! Love the songs and stories!
I saw him years ago also outside at Berkly. It was early 80's he was in all his *Loud and big Elton John clothes and act* That was fun. The concert I saw him recently, was more mellow and he wore a tux! But still good!

Haha yeah, I was expecting a more flamboyant outfit....he wore his classic long jacket, all in black with a sparkly design on the back. He looked great though! ;o) eom Tukey

I absolutely love love LOVE EJ. Have seen him in concert a couple times and he's awesome! Just like you said...him and the piano for hours, no special effect/props/etc. His voice always sounds great and his playing is fantastic...I don't know how his fingers can take it! Glad you had a good time!

His voice is getting a little raspy (perhaps with age?) and I love it. I think he sounds better now than he did twenty years ago! :o) eom Tukey

Whoa...that is pretty expensive! But I'm glad you enjoyed it Tukey. And a true artist is one who can sound just as good (if not better) live as they do recorded. So many of them suck when they try to 'sing' live (try being the operative word).

You are very right! Luckily everyone I've saw in concert has been fantastic! :o) eom Tukey P.S. I'm going to reply to your email soon...just had a really busy week with Ottawa and the boy's bday and the concert! xoxo

He is playing in St. John's this weekend. I wish I could have gotten tickets to see him but I was travelling the morning they went on sale . I looked on ebay for tickets but the prices were outrageous!

Oh definitely....there was a big hooplah around here because of the scalpers buying the tickets and then selling them for outrageous prices....two tickets near the front row went for $2000. INSANE! I happily took my upper bowl seats for the cost price lol. :o) eom Tukey
