This record and the two prior, "Madman" and the not really first one with Your song on it have as much to do with Paul Buckmaster's orchestration and arrangements and the quality of the musicians as with Elton's enormous talent and soulful style. These recordings don't belong to 1970 or 2018. I won't say they're timeless, cause then I'd have to punch myself, but that's the idea. Try listening to these songs with headphones for full effect. As a 10 yo I thought Come down in Time was about a girl. It kinda bummed me out to learn otherwise.<br />FrancisJulie Mullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15372667602278224765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-41327040429786838492018-10-28T20:45:32.120-05:002018-10-28T20:45:32.120-05:00I thought he was just stopping going on these big ...I thought he was just stopping going on these big tours. Perhaps he will do a residency some where. He is only a couple of years older than Billy Joel. Joel does a show every month at Madison Square Garden and seems to sell out every one. He does some shows but not big tours. He did ten other concerts besides the Madison Square Garden shows. I could see Elton John doing some thing like that. sanfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06580867647162091670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-20930413319364464382018-10-28T17:14:28.625-05:002018-10-28T17:14:28.625-05:00Two very good songs on any Elton album, the early ...Two very good songs on any Elton album, the early ones better as most new flings are, but by Honky Chateau too much radio play for the ones that annoyed me. The Auditorium the best venue for him solo I would think, saw Judy Collins there, early '70s and I was amazed. I was in that crowd on Wacker Drive, waiting to not see the car plunge into the river. I do not remember what mission I delayed to wait there, but I saw the stunt on the late news that night. And in the film, which I would recommend.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613528527379198505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-54392611075138180802018-10-28T15:54:56.889-05:002018-10-28T15:54:56.889-05:00Tumbleweed Connection is in my all-time pantheon o...Tumbleweed Connection is in my all-time pantheon of great albums. I can listen to that any day, any time and love it. My husband and I similarly talked about going to the show this weekend, but we felt like it would be full of songs that were huge hits - but are not the EJ songs that we truly love. The reviews of the show - both published and those from friends - were great though. We're still mulling over February.Bludoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18131740899428934800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-63866510042409156112018-10-28T13:23:15.045-05:002018-10-28T13:23:15.045-05:00I was obsessed with Elton John for about 15 minute...I was obsessed with Elton John for about 15 minutes in college, to a degree that embarrasses me now.
