Elton John
Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle
2.7.2014
|
The legendary Elton John and his band were on fine form as they played to a packed Metro Radio Arena.
The
occasion was a celebration of the recently re-released
Goodbye Yellow
Brick Road album, songs from which quite naturally formed the main focus
of the evening's repertoire.
The audience consisted of a
large range of ages, split roughly evenly between male and female. There
was a strong feel good factor even before the show began. It was clear
that everything was there to have a great time and that's exactly what
they got.
Elton and the band looked like they were having
just as much fun as the rest of us. Some of the band have been with him
since the late 1960s and early 1970s. They played virtually non-stop for
two and a half hours and it was nearly all high tempo material.
