The great thing about Elton is that it's not just the voice ... which is not the same as it was before, some ways better, other ways worse - but it's the words, his music, the band, the history, the audience ... it is something else.
What a performance WOW sums it up. I've seen him a few times over the years and he's always great, no messing around just song after great song - just left ve him
I am not an EJ fan but I thought the concert was a fitting UK finale to a long career. Looks like he needs a knee replacement but his voice was strong for a 76 year old. I wasn’t sure about the guests, except for Stephen Sanchez who I thought was really good.
I was worried his last British appearance would be poor, but I’ve seen him many times and his rendition of ‘ candle in the wind’ was so good.
Best time to go, leave on a high .
I like the way he's altered some songs to fit his voice as he's aged. The higher notes in Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Tiny Dancer have disappeared. Great show and the two hours raced by.
They said on BBC Five Live this morning that he didn't hang around after his spot, they said he hopped in a car, drove a short distance to a helicopter and was home in Windsor in 39 minutes, rocket man indeed!!
