Wish I had a glass topped Yamaha grand with a fancy tv screen down the side! No wonder it's called The Million Dollar Piano...
Go see this show! I play some piano so I think Elton John's pretty cool, but I'm not such a huge fan that I'd buy tickets see him at home. Glad I did in Vegas though! I saw this with some family, and I was blown away by his personality, enthusiasm, the lights/video, and his band! We sat on the 2nd mezzanine (almost nosebleeds) but on the left side, so we had a great view of him playing. He played a solid 2 hours of hits, and it was so great to watch everyone together, especially that percussionist in the back. I was a percussionist in school so it was awesome to see an expert's skills. Best way to play a tambourine is with a fancy dance & flourish!
As with all concerts, there are always some people in the audience who like it WAY too much. One lady, who was a couple rows below was dancing the whole 2 hours, her hands waving in the air, blocking the view. I don't mind people enjoying music & having a blast, but respect people around you, woman! They paid for their tickets too! I thought it was funny though, when Elton played "Circle of Life" she sat down & stopped wriggling altogether. She didn't even clap at the end of the song. She must really hate The Lion King! What's up with that?
If you can get floor seats near the front, do it. At the end, some audience members went up on stage & gathered around the piano for the last song. Elton was whisked away really quickly though...I guess he would be swarmed if he stayed, heh. Must be nice to have bodyguards.
