Malinga the Swinga Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Can't believe it was 38 years ago I saw Elton at Playhouse. I must be getting old but doesn't seem that long ago in my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you like but EJ is a different class to anything that has been on. Indeed, Davey Johnstone, class act.

Ummm, they're currently on tour, 41 years later😁 Elton opened his show tonight with Pinball Wizard - a Who song.

Malinga the Swinga Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I class Elton with Meatloaf, Alice Cooper and Springsteen. Not in styles but in they don't do concerts, they do shows. Born entertainers who have tuned their acts over decades and, as with Meatloaf, will entertain till their dying day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
