EJ might as well have not bothered turning up. I didn't hear him strike one right note. I didn't notice anyone who rated the concert..

Elton John was fantastic. He played for just under 3 hours.
He sounds brilliant live, infact, the quality of his perfromance is better then on CD. Ray, who provided the backing music gave a fun aspect to the concert.
The best concert I have been to ever, highly recommended.

Favourite moment: Ray Cooper taking a run-up before launching himself at the bongo drums - he looked like a small child about to dive into a pool of chocolate! @

Opening act(s): Royal Academy of Music singers and musicians performed extracts from Elton's musicals such as the Lion King. Brilliant! And Teddy Thompson is another star, with thought-provoking vocals and high-quality acoustic guitar. A chip off the old block... @

Any worry we had beforehand that these tickets were too expensive - albeit for an excellent cause - evaporated as soon as it became clear on arrival how long Elton John would be on stage for...he played for over an hour and a quarter solo and then for over another hour with Ray Cooper - and mixed old, more familiar favourites such as 'Don't let the sun go down on me,' 'Your Song,' 'Daniel and 'Sorry seems to be the hardest word' with songs from his early albums he had in his words 'rediscovered,' such as 'Skyline Pigeon.' The jazz/blues influence on his early work that also originally gave him his stage name shone through in extracts from 'Tumbleweed Connection' and 'The Elton John Album', while his commitment and passion about causes such as AIDS were also referenced by tracks from twenty years ago and rather more recently. The wonderful opening medley by the young singers and musicians of the Royal Academy, and the quirky but enchanting Teddy Thompson, had already made us sit up - and smile -and realise we were in for a treat - but nothing prepared us for the extraordinarily expressive performance of Ray Cooper in partnership with Elton - absolutely stunning and entertaining in the broadest sense! Now there's a man who enjoys his job! As indeed did the star of the evening, to judge by the smile on his face! These were among the more expensive concert tickets we have ever bought - but undoubtedly the best value - and we have seen some wonderful events over the years. What a fantastic evening! Thank you, everyone involved.

The evening was a hit from start to finish! The Royal Academy of music opened the show with a fantastic set, inluding a variety of singing styles. Then followed an enjoyable shorted set by Terry Thomspon, songs and artist unknown, but nonetheless enjoyable.
The pinacle of the evening was the OUTSTANDING set by Sir Elton John. The man is a musical genius. A wide range of his material was delivere expertly, with lots of close ups of his piano playing on the overhead screens. Most songs bought the audience to their feet and he received numerous, very well deserved, standing ovations. I would highly recommend anyway looking for an evening of fabulous entertainment to book tickets. I will certainly go to see him at the enxt opportunity.

One piano, one man-in fact, The Man!!!! This was a very special night, Elton John sat on stage showing everyone what a talented musician he is. His playing was totally captivating, and although he was joined by Ray Cooper for the last set-Elton was on stage for near on 2 hours 45 mins. A total joy to see and hear him just enjoying himself. I read The Independent newspaper this morning and all i can say is either Nick Hasted was at a different gig or has 2 rashers of bacon for ears, "wildly uneven, punishing, and occasionally impressive, too" was his final remark........! Elton John's music will be around forever, in my book (as a professional musician) the man IS a legend!

Elton John keeps up with his quality. Everything he does is with perfection. The perfect match with Ry Cooder really impressed me. Elton John alone is good, but Elton John with band or other artist is even better.

However, the seats in Royal Albert Hall is terribel and a disaster to sit on. They should be replaced asap. They must be more that 100 year old. I'm sorry.

I love Elton John. It boggles my mind that a 62 year old man can sing so well, and perform so long and hard, and with such verve and sheer talent. He showed the Royal Academy musicians, who opened the show by singing Elton's Lion King songs, how it's done. Three solid hours of transformational exhuberant brilliance, in which Elton's voice and playing alternately caressed and dominated the awesome accoustics of the Albert Hall. Elton got many standing ovations, but the ovations he got for Rocket Man, Levon and Take Me To The Pilot were more than merited. Rocket Man was a solo trip to the moon, or at least to that sky high place, where a supreme performer builds and moulds and plays with his song, to give 5,000 souls the experience of the highest musical elevation. Levon and Take Me To The Pilot were collaborations with Ray Cooper, who thundered and tinkled his joyous heart out in a thoroughly amusing, yet utterly complimentary musical performance of percussion. A concert to remember. :)

I have seen Elton twice previously, including once in Australia when he performed with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra when I thought he could not be any better. In the context of what he and Ray Cooper (who was also with him in Melbourne) did last night, this was better! That he was on stage for 3 hours, non-stop, including half of that solo, was remarkable. His voice has not dimmed at all over the years and I was shocked by its power at times. His piano solos were wonderful and the way he and Ray worked together will live forever in my mind. In fact, Ray really made the second half of the show as he is - as my wife said - a show on his own! For those who like Elton with a band, this is not for them, but for those who love his very old material, his very new material, and his ballads, this is the show for you. It is so intimate in the Royal Albert Hall, and with the way Elton spoke to us during the show, you felt you were in his living room. Fantastic; I loved every minute of it.

The concert promised much and indeed started very well. The orchestra, choir and individual performers of the Royal Academy of Music were exciting, dramatic and excellent in every respect. Wonderful start. The next act, Teddy Thompson, was mediocre. His technique was good but he seemed to lack any enthusiasm, let alone any passion. Five mechanical songs.

After the interval, the man himself, Elton John. He began with a succession of little known songs and continued with even more little known songs. There were about two all-time favourites and the lack of the familiar was made-up for by increasing loudness and almost shouting the songs. Now Sir Elton has a fine and powerful voice but last night it was out of control. I had come to hear the familiar but got instead an eclectic mix of the almost unknown and songs making his political point. If I had wanted this I could have gone to see Billy Bragg for half the price.

The last part introduced Ray Cooper on percussion and this is when the whole show fell apart completely. Cooper's egocentric demeanour and lack of any musical subtlety detracted from Sir Elton; indeed they seemed to be competing for who could make most noise. Rather pathetic, really.
