Fan report by Giorgio Onorato Aquilani.

I just wanted to drop a couple of lines about yesterday's night gorgeous event in Perugia! The first and essential surprise was realizing that the show scheduled to be solo Elton turned into a fantastic band one!

It was my 30th show and as always Elton was in a great mood and shape! Shall we spend a couple of words on "Electricity"? Live it is a real blast! That is an Elton single! All us, fans, were stunned by the great gospel Choir which animated the stage giving us a super input to start dancing!

"Sad Songs" drove us mad, the new arrangment rocks! The setlist was simply perfect even if he cut away the much awaited "Crocodile Rock" and "Saturday Night's" ... but please, give me the chance to spread a couple of words on the atmosphere.

The only thing who made us drawning into a big disappointment was paying 135 euros to be 100 meters from the stage because the first 2 sectors were booked by Sponsors and VIP. Don't fans deserve the same treatment? Honestly, it was full of well dressed men who did not stop chatting about their lives during the entire show! And us, fans, were acting like monkeys in the middle of a human desert. I mean, there are our feelings on that stage, is anyone taking care about it?

Anyway, we just did not buy a place, we bought a show which has been worth that price till the last cent! We love you Elton! See you in the great Colosseo in Rome!
