Elton John & Leon Russell Tickets

Seeing Elton John so close was an unforgettable experience. Hearing his songs live...seeing him playing the piano, while singing...was awesome. Then he ad-libbed some songs and music. The band was phenomenal! Stage background set up was ok...a bit dark. City of Ft. Worth gets an F for the parking headache. Took me 35 min. to go .5 miles. No cops directing traffic. Complete gridlock. took me 2 hours to get to the show from Plano, and I was 30 min. late! They reserved all parking for the Margarita Ball. FAIL!

I have been going to concerts since 1974, and I thought that Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen where of the elite Rock Concert Monsters who know how to entertain and play for at least 3 hours(giving you the bang for the buck). Leon still sounds unique and good. Elton is amazing and the true mad-man genius of the piano. Elton and Leon shared some very personal insights into their lifes and how it influenced their music.

Elton's voice was fabulous! All he needs is a piano and a microphone. We thought he sounded better than on C.D. or radio. Leon Russell sounded just like Leon Russell. It was real good to see him doing so well.

This is a not to be missed show--both artists play well alone and together and it is an amazing 3 non stop hours of the music we all love I was fortunate to be moved to the front row by Sir Elton John and spent most of the show in awe of the performers and the true artistry I hope they return and do this again You must see this

We really enjoyed this show. Elton John and Leon Russell are great together. Although they both performed their hit songs, this concert was so much more than a "juke box" evening. Their album, The Union, is one of the best I have heard from any artist in a very long time. There is so much talent condensed into this collaboration. Elton John said that it is difficult to listen to new music which puzzled me. It was refreshing and inspirational that these two great talents are still creating fresh music. Hopefully Elton John truly is done with pop and will make many more albums of this caliber. Leon Russell was fantastic! My only complaint was that he did not perform solo as long as we would have liked him to. It was such a treat to hear The Master of Time and Space play his own music. From the opening chords of "Tight Rope" his performance was perfect, earthy and authentic. Elton John was fun as always and it was enjoyable to listen to most of his old tunes. He is the ultimate showman and did not disappoint. Rocket Man was his finest musical moment of the evening. His piano playing was always incredible and has only improved with time! Elton John's sincerity in expressing his indebtedness to Leon Russell, his thanks to his fans, and his tribute to Ryan White and his family was very touching. I never knew that Elton John was such a humble man. His genuine connection to the audience made that forum feel like a small, intimate club. Both musicians were in top form and the two pianos together were amazing. The back up singers were fabulous, as was the band. Thanks to Elton John for so graciously acknowledging and educating his fans about Leon Russell. Rock music as we have enjoyed it from the 1960's on would not exist without Leon Russell's contribution. I hope that his public gratitude to "The Master" will inspire other stars to do the same. It is criminal that Leon Russell has not been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Hopefully that will be corrected soon! I have bought the new album and hope that John/Russell will make another one. If they tour together again, I will travel to see their show! Cons: The sound was not mixed well and the pianos were drowned out by the band from time to time. Was it the acoustics of the Ocean Center? Where was the horn section? :~o That was a glaring omission and very disappointing.

No one even knows who Leon Russell is, we went for Elton John. You couldn't even tell what he was signing, he would add parts and piano to it. I like the way the song is on the CD, I want to sing along. Very Very Boring and too long.

It is amazing that 40 years (almost to the day) after the live album "11/17/70" was recorded, the piano-thumping sensation from that album (Elton) would be joining forces with another piano-pounding legend (Leon) from that era and treating the ears of the Daytona Beach audience to a nostalgic trip back in time, but also introducing them to a "fresh" dozen collaborative tracks just released last month. Elton walked out on stage and introduced Leon who began his set with his early 70's hit "Tightrope" and proceeded with about a half-dozen other songs and hits including the very popular and often-recorded "A Song for You." After Leon departed (slowly) from the stage, Elton began his set with a rousing "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" followed by "Philadelphia Freedom." There were a number of other songs from the "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" landmark LP including the title track, "Candle in the Wind" (dedicated to members of Ryan White's family who happened to be in the audience) and "Bennie and the Jets." After about 10 more songs, including an extended and extraordinary rendition of "Rocket Man," Elton & Leon launched into about a dozen tracks from the October-released "The Union" album. Most of these tracks were probably heard for the very first time by a majority of the audience, but I was on about the 5th listen of the CD by the day of the concert so I was well-prepared. My favorite tracks off of the new album are: "If It Wasn't for Bad," "Hey Ahab," "Gone to Shiloh" and "A Dream Come True." Leon ended the "Union" set playing solo and singing "In the Hands of Angels." This solo allowed Elton to catch a breather as he prepared for his last set of classics including "Burn Down the Mission," "Levon," "Tiny Dancer," "Take Me to the Pilot" and "The Bitch Is Back." Another memorable moment came before the "Your Song" encore when Elton proceeded to move from one end of the stage to the other signing autographs for at least 50-60 overjoyed fans lucky enough to have front-row access to this 3-hour+ extravaganza. I wasn't fortunate enough to even be in the same zip code as the stage, but I felt so privileged to have experienced this momentous "union" event and to hear such a powerful and melodious voice 40 years on...

Elton John Rocked Daytona Beach!!!!! He is Amazing

I have always wanted to see Elton John and he was great. The old hits were awesome and I also enjoyed the many new songs. Nice long concert that went quick. Leon Russell was good too.

Simply put, this concert by Elton John and Leon Russell was nothing less than astonishing. Loaded from start to finish with unstinting, high-energy generosity in terms of giving the audience non-stop, gut-wrenching, soul-bending, screaming, stomping, unbelievable, dance-in-your-seat rock, jazz, blues and country music. It was truly a 'show' in the highest sense of the word. Both Elton and Leon performed as the gentlemen and stars of music artistry we know them to be, never wavering for one second in their obvious dedication to giving a stellar and electrifying performance. And they had the good grace to thank us, the audience, for our patience as they played much of the new material from 'The Union'. Rather, it was we who should have been screaming 'thank you' to them. It was an extraordinary showcasing of remarkable, innate, born-in-the-bones lyrical talent. Thank God for both of them!

Great show! Both excellent musicians and entertainers. Would see them again in a heartbeat.

Only bad thing was the traffic getting into the parking lot. Should of been more ways to access the lot. Waited over an hour to get in the lot. Elton was great. Though the new stuff with Leon was mellow there were a couple catchy hits. The best part of the concert was the last 45 minutes when Elton signed autographs in the front row for everyone then jammed by himself for another 45 minutes. He was literally on stage for the entire three hours plus.... except for one song that Leon Russel had dedicated to him. Still there were alot of tunes he couldnt get to but that is just because he has so many wonderful songs.

awesome!!!!!!!!! Leon and Elton really rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FANTASTIC !! He still has it. What an entertainer !

This concert ROCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! absolutely AWSOME!!! Great seats as well, thanks Lakeland Civic Center for bring this to out bay area.

One of the best concerts I have ever been to. Right up there with The Eagles and Aerosmith. Elton John has not lost a step and he puts on a hell of a show. Leon Russell was all class, truly a legend. So glad i got to see them together.

So glad to enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience. John's affection for Leon sparks a personal journey for every attendee to reflect on reaching out to someone who was instrumental in their personal growth. Glad I thought ahead and purchased THE UNION CD. Having listened to the music and read the lyrics before the concert gave me interspection about the main focus. Best yet, I didn't have to travel far and not even on a major highway to enjoy the evening.

I attend Elton John concerts every time he comes to Florida. This one was without doubt the best one ever. He played all the good songs from his greatest hits album. I was in the front floor section, the sound was incredible. Davie Johnstone was AMAZING on the guitar as usual. It was simply the best one yet.

I couldn't believe how long the concert lasted. We definitely got our money's worth and more...

I have wanted to see Elton John in person all my life since he started to tour and I finally got to go to his show. I remember Leon Russel when he was with Joe Cocker. I was a young girl and I thought Joe Cocker as weird but a great performer. I did not realize that Leon Russel was the backbone of the sound. I had a ball at the show and I did not want it to end. Over 3 hours of non stop performances was way over what I expected. I listened to the new CD on the way to the show and I was glad to know what to expect and it was even better than I imagined.
