A step back into a happier time!
by skbrady on 8/7/23Rating: 5 out of 5As someone who had the opportunity to see Elton in 1976, I was somewhat hesitant to attend the Rocket Man show. The 1976 concert was one of the greatest shows I have ever seen, and certainly nothing could match the sheer excitement I felt back in the day. And indeed the Rocket Man show was different. Smaller. Less of a crowd. Not as much palpable excitement and anticipation at the beginning. But as the show went on a strange thing happened. As the band and the crowd got comfortable with one another, as the memories and the current experience seemed to become more congruent, the feeling changed. I wasn’t really back in 1976, but I got the feeling that the Rocket Man was doing everything in his power to take me there as he possibly could. And after a while I was there, in a way, and the experience was awesome. In other words the show was amazing and I highly recommend it. The Rocket Man is an extraordinarily talented musician and has a wonderful sense of humor. My son, who was not even a glimmer in 1976, had the opportunity to share at least a little bit of dad’s youth, and we were both blown away. Go see the Rocket Man! You will not be disappointed.
