I make the case, that Elton John's band at that time, was the best band on the planet.

Yes. The same band he had on his last tour, minus Dee Murray on bass because he died. They were the best backing musicians ever assembled.
Early 2000s, I saw EJ at The Tabernacle doing an AIDS benefit (yeah, I know) in ATL. Look up the venue. It’s *maybe* 1500 people.
Full band, they played almost all, if not all, early material from EJ, Tumbleweed Connection, Madman, GBYBR. The show was simply awesome.
