Haven't seen that many live gigs - or at least not as many as I'd like, but I saw Norah Jones last year which was great and I saw Sting a few years ago too and he was amazing. Plus Tom Jones in Cardiff on my Birthday which was really special too.

My sister managed to get tickets for the Tsunami concert at the Millenium Stadium earlier in the year and I was soooo jealous....then she topped it by getting tickets for Live8 as well!!!! Some girls have all the luck!

"I guess that's why they call it the blues" is probably my fave tune. It was how I was introduced to the modern Elton.

"Time on my hands could be time spent with you . . ."

Great phrasing!

Did he not do a moving tribute to those affected by Katrina, musicman?

he dedicated the 2nd or 3rd song into the show to them - a song called "Porch Swing in Tupelo"

Saw young Reg...sorry, Sir Elton...way back early on at the Miserable Auditorium...sorry again, that's Municipal Auditorium...he brought a sideman in a glittery gold lame suit (like Elvis had) onstage to play a portable combo organ on a not-yet-released song called "Crocodile Rock"...still a memory I carry to this day...
