Elton John and band performed in Copenhagen on November 12, 2014
Thursday, November 13 2014 |
Fan report by Ulrick from Copenhagen.
As my wife and I were off to Copenhagen for the second Elton John show in Denmark this year, our expectations were pretty high. He did an awesome show this summer in Aalborg and once again in Forum, Copenhagen he proved the high level of performance quality.
With a total of around 7500 people this was quite a small venue. We had seats in the front row, but as they were pretty much to the right of the stage we did not see Elton that much. However this gave us the opportunity to focus on the brilliant band – and they are brilliant!
After the 30 minutes show with Bright Lights Bright Lights Elton entered the stage to the beginning of “Funeral For A Friend”. What was new to me was that he did not walk all the way across the stage as he normally does when he enters the stage, but we first saw lights on him when he started playing the song.
He wore a red suit with Captain Fantastic on the back and a white shirt. I tend to believe that he wore these colors due to our national flag being red and white. Maybe also because Davey is married to a Danish woman and that she and her Danish family were in the audience (Elton said so).
He was in a very good mood and I can truly say that there are version of songs I have never heard with such long piano solos and I have seen him perform more than 30 times. He got standing ovations from the audience several times and you could feel that he really enjoyed being here!
Not only did Elton have a good time but the band too! They were all making lots of internal jokes, jumping around and also got standing ovations when introduced by Elton. Elton’s voice sounded great, then band sounded great and all in all another top class performance.
 Elton took time to sign my tour book properly, he singed my wife’s t-shirt and we both shook hands with him. He even agreed to have a picture taken with two guys letting them come up on stage with him. Furthermore I was lucky to get a drumstick from John Mahon and my wife a guitar plectrum from Davey Johnstone.
Elton ended the show thanking us for this amazing evening, our loyalty and support, and pretty quick left for the airport and a private jet back to London. Thank you for another amazing performance to Nigel, John, Kim, Matt, Davey and Sir Elton John!
