Elton John performed in Mankato on April 22, 2012
Monday, April 23 2012

Fan report by Jerry Zgoda.

The most notable thing about tonight's show was there were three weird interruptions because of piano malfunctions. I've never seen anything like it at an Elton show, and Elton himself said what was happening had never occurred before. In another time, he would have thrown a tantrum probably, but he dealt with each one with playful good humor, teasing the techs the first time by asking if they were on acid, then later wondering if the arena was haunted.



It stopped "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" right in the middle for several seconds and later halted the start of "Bennie and the Jets", to which Elton said, "Unfucking believable" and then laughed. He apologized a couple times. I don't know much about the technical aspects, but during "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" it made some real strange, electronic ghostly sounds and he stopped his vocal and said, "Hang on, what's going on here. We've been invaded by Mars. What's going on guys, you taking some acid over there?"
