General here…
Have you heard?
Elton John is coming to Kitchener and Sudbury - tickets go on sale this Friday (Feb 1) at 10am through www.ticketmaster.ca.
As someone who has seen many, MANY concerts over the years - over 100 for sure - I would say if you are even considering going to see Elton live, you owe it to yourself to go. He has to be one of the greatest performers I’ve ever seen. His catalogue of music speaks for itself - so many great ballads, but so many rockers as well. And his show really is more of a journey than your typical concert.
From the crazy-big rock-show ending of Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting to the lone spotlight as he hits the first notes of Rocket Man…
“She packed my bags last night, pre-flight…Zero hour, 9am…”
Come on, that’s showmanship!
I’ll never forget Bennie And The Jets. It’s one of my all-time favourite concert moments.
Just that signature beginning - the pounding on the piano - the bass and drums in time- and the lights pulsing on every deliberate chord…
BAHMP BAHMP BAHMP BAHMP BAHMP BAHMP - BUM BUM BA-DAAH DUM…
What’s amazing too is that I’ve never owned an Elton John album or CD, yet I knew every single song - simply from hearing them on the radio over the years.
Proof that you don’t have to be a huge fan to enjoy the show.
So…
Really - if you’re on the fence - should you go? Should you not?
Do it. Go. Thank me later. Buy me something with BBQ sauce on it.
