EJ was awesome. Totally enjoyed the entire show. The atmosphere was great as was the venue. I would certainly go again

Great Show! Please ignore 'Ros L' comments below regarding the poor interaction with the crowd. Elton was up and about thanking the audiance and talking throughout the concert. Even at the end, he signed autographs for fans at front of the stage ...

Disappointing - I wouldn't rush to see him again. He has poor interaction with his audience - lifting your hands and bowing your head after each song is not interaction - he made no attempt to converse with the audience and quite honestly I thought he looked bored stiff!

i didnt go to this show due to prior commitments but i went to te last show he did in perth.....and i was just blown away! but it was just his performance it was the amount of younger people there! being 17 and going to see Elton made me think that i could have been the youngest there but i was mistaken! absolutely AWESOME! i would see him 100 times over!!!

BRILLIANT!! Over 2 hours of entertainment.Annoyed at 2 drunk females that spoilt the night for some.Security should have booted them out.

Brilliant - at 61 he has more energy and pizzazz than anyone younger than him!! Time flew so quickly and he saved the best "Your Song" until last. He is the penultimate of entertainers

Elton was sensational and the atmosphere where we were was brilliant. 6 rows from the stage gave us an awesome view and finally we got up to dance and really "savour the moment"! How much does signing autographs at the conclusion of the show say about his credibility as a fellow human being. LEGEND ABSOLUTELY XX

Awesome concert, man of few words but he didnt need to talk, his songs did it for me! Thanks Elton see you next time.

I found Elton John's performance to be technically brilliant, but without any real soul or feeling. I could really have just been watching a music video. The lack of interaction with the audience was disappointing too.

Time is starting to take it's toll on his voice these days. He still sounds great down low, but did anyone else notice that he didn't even try to hit the high notes like he used to? Every high note was covered by backing singers.

annoyed by the two female , i think,idiots at the front who security refused to deal with who ruined a lot of peoples enjoyment.

hello how was elton john i what to see

Posted by tyson Sunday 11 May, 2008 07:56 PM


Who said Billy joel is the Paino Man, Elton was a true master on ivory keys.
Loved every minute of it. It was great when he was singing rocket man as the moon came out from the dark clouds perfect timing!!!!

WOW!!! As soon as Elton hit the stage it was one fabulous song after another - over two hours of pure entertainment! The last time I saw Elton in concert was nearly 20 years ago and he just gets better and better! Awesome!!!

Posted by Cath Sunday 11 May, 2008 03:31 PM


His performance was simply flawless, but I found it strange that he nearly didnt speak throughout the whole show. and what bugged me was how unresponsive the audience was in my section. what do other people think??

Posted by guest Sunday 11 May, 2008 10:34 AM


Well, I am happy to say that the rain held off (mostly), and he did play Daniel... awesome moment in my life

Posted by Dan Sunday 11 May, 2008 08:13 AM

Posted by gill Saturday 10 May, 2008 11:13 PM
