EJ brings wow factor back

It's been a little while in my opinion, but Saturday night it happened again. The WOW factor at the Resch. Elton John brought it. In fact, few can bring it like he can. I was standing the near stage at the beginning of the concert escorting the photographers to the pit. I was among the first to see Elton emerge from backstage and then as the crowd noticed him walking in the dark, the fever pitch began to rise. Once on stage and with a salute to a roaring crowd, Elton began an incredible 2 hour 45 minute performance. After he finished his 12 minute opening song, he got up from behind the piano (you see it in the photo) fired up and ready to go telling and gesturing the crowd "come on, let's go!" It gave me goose bumps. Wow. This is big time. Limos lined up out front, a mega superstar on stage and the place was rockin on a Saturday night. I've heard Elton likes to play buildings where many of the big acts don't come. Being a medium sized market, that applies to us many times. But not Saturday night. Elton John saw to that. It was his show and if I heard it once, I heard it a hundred times from fans in the seats....Wow! What a show! While some performers hang around the Resch a bit after the show, not Elton. He was out the door right after his last song. On to the next Wow.
