Abe and I bought tickets to go see Elton John and Billy Joel in concert at the ESA almost a year ago. Originally we were supposed to see them in November but due to the fact that Elton and then Billy were sick they postponed the show. Now come February 19th the piano men were live in concert in the S.L.C! The pair put on one of the best shows i've ever been to! They started the night off with Elton's masterpiece "Your Song" and finished up the night with Billy's "Piano Man." They sang about five songs together at the beginning.. then Elton went for an hour.. then Billy an hour and then they came back on together for 5 more songs. Abe and I loved the show and loved spending that time together singing along with some of the greatest musicians ever!! The night was so much fun. We even met up before the show for dinner at Red Iguana, one of our favorite Mexican restaurants.
Dueling pianos...
Ever since nannying in Long Island, where Billy lives, and saw the musical "Movin Out" I have been in love with his music. He's so talented and wrote many of his hit songs before I was even born. Lullaby, Just the Way You Are, Piano Man, Movin Out, Italian Restaurant, Vienna, Keeping the Faith, She's Got Away, Captain Jack, The Entertainer, And So it Goes... i love them all and could go on and on.
As for Abe, he was more into Elton John's music growing up because of a road trip to CA where that was the only cassette tape they had in the vehicle, Elton's greatest hits. But I am a big fan of Elton too. I am mean come on it's Sir Elton! He's such a classic: Tiny Dancer, Crocodile Rock, Rocket Man, Benny and the Jets, Daniel, Goodbye yellow brick road ... the guy is a LEGEND!!
Next show we're looking forward to... U2 in JUNE @ the U of U!
