Review: Farewell Yellow Brick Road

Elton John was one of the first rock musicians I heard of growing up. In fact, I recall that "Your Song," "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," and "Crocodile Rock" were some of the first songs I heard played on my dad's record player.

I have seen two other Elton shows - the  Elton John's Made in England Tour in Tacoma Dome, Washington, on 9/9/1995 and the Million Dollar Piano at the Colosseum in Las Vegas on 10/13/2011.

"Made in England" is still my favorite rock concert, but I also really liked the "Farewell Yellow Brick Road" concert.

The concert started out (on time)  at 20:00 with "Bennie and the Jets." Elton was in fine form, and the band backing him played well. Despite the horrible acoustics at SAP Center, Elton did not sound too bad.

My favorite songs from the concert were "Rocket Man," "Candle in the Wind," "Funeral for a Friend," "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me," and, of course, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road."

The special effects were very nice.

Although I made many video recordings, my iPhone 7 did not record them well.
The following YouTube video has much better video quality:
