Thanks! I'm a big fan and I've been thinking about making this one for the longest time.

One of the best and one that I grew up on as my mother was a huge fan. Still is. She's seen him live 4 or 5 times.

I would do anything to see him live. I've tried before, but tickets went like that! My oldest sister has seen him twice. Not fair.

They're 400-500 dollars EACH. That's the same reason I didn't go see Roger Waters' The Wall tour a few years ago

Good lord. I definitely couldn't afford that. My sister went to Madonna in Seattle a year or two ago. $200.

Love him! He's absolutely amazing in concert. I saw him at Madison Square Garden a couple of years ago-so so so good!

If you get the chance, definitely go see him! He spends like 2 hours non-stop playing the piano and singing. He is SUCH a performer! Definitely do it.

It would be great. If there is one person I want to see, it is Elton.
