    That's impressive and did he play this show straight or was there a break like what RUSH does?

    I like your signature especially the first two lines.

    While hearing those words live for the first time, I remember having tears in my eyes while he played that song.
    So overwhelming to here that in a large crowd. At such a moment it feels that peace is only a grasp away.
    It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.

    My dad and I were at the Toronto concert last night. I've won tickets on the day of the show. We had pretty good seats as well. Elton John and his band started at 8:12 PM and played for 2 hours and 40 minutes. Superb concert. It was as good as his Las Vegas show my parents and I saw last year.

    It was a great show... After playing all of side one of GBYR, he mentioned that it was being re-released in March (25th... his birthday) in honour of it's 40th anniversary with expanded discs (one being a version of different artists covering the songs).
