Very surprised there isn't a thread on this already (I think). Anyone go? One of the best concerts I've ever seen, probably 2nd only to Roger Waters. So much more than I was expecting. And does anyone possibly know where to find a setlist?

I won tickets and gave them to my parents.

Personally, while agree he is very gifted and accomplished, I can't stand the guy.

Fish was selling a pair. I seriously considered it.

I worked this concert. Elton John is amazing. Awesome set... the man played for 2.5 hours and he could've easily done another 2.5 and I don't think a single person there would've been tired of hearing him.

I went to this, it was great and I am not a huge Elton John fan. After 5 Heroin Beers I was dancing like that dude from the SNL clip with Michael Phelps and Peyton Manning.

Amateur. Any bartender worth his/her weight has mastered the short pour. Although applying it in practice to draft beer is somewhat more challenging...

I saw him in the 80's when he was a heroin addicted loser, and he was so stoned he couldn't even stand up. He just sat there and didn't move. He later apologized for that tour, but it made me feel ripped off and not interested in seeing him again.

Haha. The stand I was working stayed open until after it was over. Generally, staff get out the same time the concert ends, even if the stands close early. Nice try though.
