    I’ve seen Elton John 6 or 7 times. He’s always been fabulous, and he put on a great show and has the best musicians with him. Not someone I listen to on a regular basis but I love some of his songs.
    Reminded me of the Tin Man coming across the stage there mind :emoticon-0169-dance

    What I don't get with him in why people say he's a great showman, he barely moves off his stool <laugh>

    He reminds me of a cruise ship performer ...

    ... without the voice.

    His voice is still great like. Also got Nigel Ollson on the drums. One of the very very best.

    Top respect for genius song writing history....and he's also 77 years old.

    His live concerts are legendary, still.

    He does over 2 hours. Not many will manage that at 77 mind.

    He obviously moved more when he was younger lol. When he jumped around in 8 inch platforms.
    I’ve seen Nigel Olson wearing a Sunderland shirt . Hero!

    To be fair he sounds like Elton John but I don't think he's ever had a great voice.

    I'm not an Elton John fan as such, but his performance is already comfortably the best headliner of the weekend.

    It looks like he's got a nappy on under his gold trousers
    - or he's in need of a hip operation.
