The Rocket Man

Saturday, 19th Jan 2008, Coca-Cola Dome, Johannesburg, 20:05h, and there he comes. As flamboyant, colourful, charismatic and talented as ever. And at 60 years old.

Seeing an Elton John concert is like going down memory lane... It's like looking at a photo album of your whole life when It comes to mind...

...daydreaming of a crush listening to "Your Song" in your teens, crying your eyes off over a lost love and "Sorry seems to be the hardest word" in your early 20's, inevitably thinking of Diana (originally Marilyn Monroe) when the first tunes of "Candle in the Wind" touch everybody's heart. Just to name a few.

The most amazing bit for me, however, was to see an extraordinary artist absolutely in tune with his audience, showing all his sensitivity, passion and talent. It was truly a night to remember.

Thanks Elton.
