  • I'm conflicted. I love Elton John. I mean, I adore his music and have since I was a child. This concert - just the music - was fabulous. Venue gave you the intimate feel of being at a club while you know there are probably a thousand people watching (or at least, it felt like it when you looked around). They could have toned the sound down because the acoustics were bumpin' and didn't need to deafen us. Sir Elton gave it his all. I love him cappin' warmly on Celine Dion (he called her the Q Tip which I loved). I love the little insights into the songs. I love the subtle costume changes which were basically a different coloured shirt with a black jacket with matching details. I love that he played my favourite two songs back to back ("The Bitch is Back" and "I'm Still Standing"). The blow up stuff was strange and funny but I got it. By the end, the subtleness was sort of gone and you just wanted to say, I got it. The neon was great fun and sort of like a juvenile dirty joke that you smile at but find yourself going, okay, what with the rainman like repeats? What made me drop this review from a five (because EJ rocks) to a three? I like David LaChappelle's photography. His video vignettes behind the songs...not so much. During some of the songs, like "Philadelphia Freedom," he had some weird ass montages that seemed like bits out of bad '70s porn of women touching themselves. Watching his interpretations of a lot of the songs was really distracting like the weird ass ballet between a man and a woman that alternated between abuse and sex for "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me" was just....irritating. Finally, I turned to J and said, "It's like a 12 year old saying the f word 37 times in a row to shock you." She agreed. Oh and seriously, it was getting old the whole overtly sexual imagery of the blow up stuff and the roses (see the Georgia O'Keefe controversy about her flowers) which is just annoying after awhile. Maybe I'm just an old breeder who hasn't been a hag in awhile so I don't get the 'in' joke of the gay community on this or it's just something so avant garde that I'm just too conservative these days to get but the vids were just annoying after awhile (save for "Daniel" and the one with Justin Timberlake and Paul Rubens). Great show, Sir Elton. Lose the background visual noise.
