Elton John and BIlly Joel

They are still 100% rock stars. Their voices are as strong as ever and incredible musicians. I was a little nervous about spending money I don't have, but it was definitely worth it. A real show. Now, if we could just get those damned North Dakotans to dance! You don't sit to Elton John unless you're in a wheelchair...no offense to those in wheelchairs. I guess they only pull out the big moves for Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney and Shanie Twain...if you know what I mean. They did manage to get through the lines of Piano Man when Billy and Elton stopped to hear the audience. They hit the "Sing us a song you're the Piano Man, sing us a song tonight..." without trouble, then there was a momentary pause where I thought we were about to be embarrassed, but then came the, "We're all in the mood for a melody, and you've got us feelin' alright." We did a good job, I was pleased.
