Happy Halloween!
These two blogs are inspired by an Elton John setlist that was on Instagram. I saw the setlist and loved it. I think Elton John's final tour will be a worthy send off to one of the legends of music. As much as I can I'm going to use clips from his "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" farewell tour.
From Variety magazine the first paragraph about Elton John's first concert on this tour in Philadelphia on September 11th of this year:
Everything has turned to Elton John lately. There are those Snickers rap battle commercials, his appearance on Nile Rodgers’ new Chic album, and the daily news of an autobiographical film for 2019. An icon of multi-platinum pop, Broadway song, LGBTQ rights and more, when a showman like John announces a goodbye tour after more than five decades in the biz — a three-year, 300-plus show “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” trek that truly kicked off Tuesday night (Sept. 11) in Philadelphia — people pay attention.
