There’s no question that Elton John is one of the great piano men in pop music. I would mention Billy Joel in that context as well. I also dig a good deal of his ‘70s catalog and his 1983 comeback album “Too Low For Zero.”
Still, I never gave it much thought to catch him during his ongoing farewell tour – don’t know exactly why.
I guess I haven’t been very excited about the music Sir Elton has released over the past 20 years. Looking at the ridiculous prices for the tickets makes that decision even easier.
