The Elton John

March 15th

Sir Elton John

What an amazing evening! When we heard that he was going to be in Roanoke, we had to go. Jed and Derley did an amazing job getting us 5 tickets together directly in front of the stage despite a lot of hiccups.

I have grown up with Elton John. Some of my first memories of music videos were of Elton John's. My dad loved Elton John and I have fun memories of looking everywhere to find my dad old LP's for different holidays.

The opening performers were amazing! They are called 2Cellos and they ended up playing in The Elton John Band on and off all night. I had no idea anyone could make a cello sound like what they did. Very impressive.

Elton John played for over 2 hours straight and played some old favorites and some unknown songs too. I think my favorite was Crocodile Rock. Derley and I had a great time dancing to that one. The concert didn't last nearly long enough but I am so glad I was able to see it.

 What a fun trip down memory lane while making new, funny memories. (Don't forget someone running into a pole as we were walking back to the car...)
