I saw Elton John on Sat night, was such a cool show. He just played his great songs beautifully, that guy can really jam, awesome performer! and he has the same type of classy vibe that Paul has, just stylie. An interesting note about his band; first, he had the original drummer (forget his name) from the 1969 Elton John Band, and he played great. so much rhythm in Eltons music, I felt the connection there. also, EJ had a female backing vocal section, 4 girls, one of them was an original member of Sly & The Family stone, in fact I think she was Sly's wife. that's pretty awesome I thought. and then EJ had 2 'rock' cellists! They were actually music students in college who are actually a duo group, but when they can they join the EJ band, they were very cool. anyway, I was impressed musically, cool stuff going on and had a nice chill time. I think Benny and the Jets is my fav EJ song, such an amazing jam live. Tiny Dancer is always magic for me too. Ballerina.. you must have seen her.. dancing in the sand
