I sat through 45 minutes of PETA crap waiting for Sir Paul to take the stage. Sir Elton’s shows were always about the music. An excellent showman!

I saw EJ in '72 and again in either '73 or '74. The first concert was very basic, but I have never - before or since - more enjoyed a live performance from any rock/pop musician. I believe it cost me under $3.00 for the ticket. The second concert was musically less impressive, but was a far more elaborate "show" that certainly wowed the crowd. Those two events provided more entertainment per dollar than anything else I ever attended (except maybe for a surprisingly entertaining Three Dog Night concert I caught on the cheap around the same time).

I lost interest in Elton's music after his "Caribou" album, but still dig out the old stuff once in a while.

I’ve never seen Elton John in concert but I’d like to. He’s made some great music over the years and still puts on a great show.

Elton John - Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding

Then there is this; my very favorite Elton John/Bernie Taupin song:
