2. Elton John still rocks. I got to see him a few years ago when he was on tour
with Billy Joel. Great concert.

3. Worst concert I ever saw - Elton John
Mind you, it was at the Bob in Newark, DE which is the WORST place to have the type of concert that John was performing. It was just him and the piano and the Bob is UDel's Basketball Arena. My seats were the same cost as the ones in the front but I was stuck at the opposite end of John on a bleacher seat and since we were late getting there, I basically had half an ass on the end of the bleacher. Typically this section is the cheap seats for the college kids to get at the basketball games (behind the net).

I read where Elton John wanted to play in all 50 states so this was his stop in Delaware - but he had better options to pick from. He could have done the Grand in Wilmington where every ass would have their own seat and the setting was designed to be an accoustic gem. And it would have justified paying $125 for the ticktes (which technically I didn't pay - I didn't even want to go but my friend had a spare ticket and I swapped it for great seats at the Jethro Tull concert. I think I definately got the raw end of the deal on that one).
