Fan report by Julio Vila from Spain.

A magic night under the bright moon. It is the title of the concert that Elton John gave on January 24, 2008 in Tenerife. With his British punctuality, as usual, Elton jumped on the stage at 9 pm.

Elton arrived with his dark jacket, with musical notes of various colors and shiny, and his violet glasses, starting to play the first chords of "Funeral For A Friend". During the whole night he was of very good humor, and he played for nearly three hours!

Unlike previous concerts in 2008, he didn't perform "Circle Of Life", but sang "The Bridge" instead in stating that he loves this song. One of the highlights was when sang "Crocodile Rock", starting with an "Urrrghhhh!" sound.

Elton was constantly joking, created a new style for "Philadelphia Freedom" and surprised with "The Bridge", which was highly applauded by the audience.

The front row was a unique experience, Elton made all the fans vibrate. Elton, Spain love´s you, come back soon!
