I was there. At the time, I had seen 35 years of great concerts ( including iElton in 1976). This one ranks up with the absolute best I’ve ever seen. A guy who played like he was playing his last show, in front of only what that hockey arena in Duluth could hold. Some 10,000 people tops were there. An incredible musician, who did not hold back one bit for a smaller venue. A guy who throughout the evening, thanked the audience and told them that they were the reason he plays. A hugely talented and gracious display. I’m so glad I was there.

In the 1980s I saw Elton John in concert 4 times. Three were huge, loud, rock and roll extravaganzas. However, the first was in a small proscenium auditorium. The first half was just Elton and his piano. The second half, Nigel Olsson came out and accompanied on drums. Obviously that first concert was far and away the best.

It just doesn't get any better than this. No amount of production in a studio with the most talented musicians and the best producer can even come close to this.

God gave this man talent beyond compare and he has the catalog to prove it.

So excited, i get an 'Across the Universe' vibe from the trailer in terms of more flashy and featuring more surreal imagery, in contrast to 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. But that doesn't detract from the fact it looks like a great representation of his life. After seeing him in San Jose for his final tour, I'm more than ready for the movie.

A rare talent. Nothing but the piano and his voice and it sounds as good as the studio version. Wow, I remember as an early teen waiting for this and Elton's other songs to come on the radio in our little town. First 8 track was Captain Fantastic.

The biography of Elton John in this movie Rocket Man, touched my heart in an inexplicable way, I felt an inner sanction, that when we got to the car with my wife I started crying and I felt my chest sink. I do not compare myself in any way with this great man, but my childhood is marked by rejection and contempt. Thank God look at this great movie.
