Meant to post about this a couple days ago: last Friday, we FINALLY got to go to the Elton John concert in Dallas. I wasn't necessarily a fan, but my girlfriend bought tickets to his farewell tour over two YEARS ago for my birthday (because I also play piano, and that's apparently enough reason to buy me tickets to a concert I wouldn't necessarily have cared about myself,) and it was delayed due to the pandemic... then again... then again when Elton John himself contracted COVID. We were at a point where we just wanted her money back, but unless the concert officially cancelled, Ticketmaster wouldn't refund anything. So as the date begrudgingly approached, we were of the "let's just get this over with" mentality. It was extremely cold, and we found ourselves at the W hotel across the street from the concert venue paying exorbitant prices for drinks while we waited for the doors to open.
And it was incredible.
Elton John puts on an amazing show. I almost called the cops because they way he attacks that piano is nothing short of assault if not full-on attempted murder. Great show, and glad we went. John gained a legit fan that day.
