Jamie Lidell on Red Piano tour
Red Piano goes abroad
"A M A Z I N G! This is an evening I will never forget in my life. Attending my around 20th Elton John show since 1995, I was ready to rock the Parken stadium with Sir Elton, the band and The Red Piano. This I did indeed.
"With Rocket Tickets on row 10 right in front of Elton's piano (thank you eltonjohn.com), my brother and I realized this was a great start. I was in Munich last Saturday to see the first Red Piano Show in Europe, and was so amazed so I knew tonight was going to be good.
"The show began around 8.30 pm after the warm-up from well-played Jamie Lidell. Elton entered the stage in a black suit with lots of decorations. He was in a great mood when opening the show with Bennie and The Jets. Even though complaining suffering from Bronchitis, this was not to hear on Elton's voice. He sang clear, loud and with a passion that made everybody sing along and have a great time. The band was tight as always...
"My plan for tonight's show was to get face to face with Elton - and this I managed! As I knew exactly when we were allowed to run on to the stage I was the first to get up there, lean on Elton's piano and stand face to face with him with a distance of around one meter. This I did during the whole song of Saturday Night´s Alright For Fighting. As I was wearing a hand decorated shirt from Paul Smith with lots of flowers on it, Elton looked at me and said " I like it" (It is me on the photo with the beige shirt, standing alone beside Elton's piano, clapping.) I couldn't believe I was standing up there, but I was. After the song we were asked to go down but I still succeeded in standing first in line close to the stage during the last song which was Your Song.
"Elton did not speak as much as in Munich, but this was probably to save his voice as much as possible. Elton finished the show by thanking us for loyalty and support for the last 40 years and wished us all lots of love and a happy Christmas. All I can say is "Thank you Elton for making this evening an unforgettable one for me!"
"We - my husband and I - went to see the Red Piano show in Copenhagen on November 29. It was a great experience for us - it was our first Elton show, even though we have been fans for over 30 years.
"It was a fantastic show - we had rotten seats, so we could not see everything, we missed most of the neon lights on the stage as we were seated too much to the left side (from stage) in the theater. But we loved every minute of it anyway - what we could see and hear was indeed fantastic, and we would love to have another chance to attend a concert with Elton.
"We sincerely hope that Elton's voice is recovering from his Bronchitis - we felt sorry for him, but were happy that he did not cancel the show. Highlights were Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Believe, Daniel, Your Song and - I could go on and on. We had a really great evening and we would love to come back again."
