Disappointed that the setlist isn't much different from the last tour.
Would have loved to see some different Wings material and solo stuff.
No Jet, Silly Little Love songs, Listen to what the Man Said, My Love, With a little Luck or Another Day.
No Goodnight Tonight or Coming up.
I know he has so much and does a lot each night.

I'm going to the Knoxville show tonight and I am in the under, but I expect to be in the minority.

I went to the Orlando show on Saturday night; it was great; there were a lot more kids there than I was expecting.

When he took off his jacket to reveal his traditional button-up shirt/vest onstage gear that he's worn since Brian Epstein got them all matching outfits six decades ago, the 22-year-old girl in our party turned to me and said, "He's sooo hot"
Was my first time seeing him - voice was a little ragged, but he played pretty well. I was surprised at how high-energy the show was. Dude didn't take any breaks in over 2 hours, save for the bit before the encore, and didn't sit down except at the piano. Not bad for a guy pushing 80.

His vocals aren't very good these days but he's almost 80. What's so impressive is being able to perform almost 40 songs without a break at his age.

I saw him on this tour - he played Blackbird completely by himself, up on that tower. It's remarkable in all aspects.
ETA: I'm on record here as being very "anti" the whole unplugged movement. That's why I was distressed when he started playing "Something" with just a mandolin. Was VERY pleasantly surprised when the band came in hard later on, and it was a highlight of the show. They killed it.

I saw Elton back in April and he spent 95% of the show at the piano. Granted that's his thing, but even coming on and off stage you could tell he wasn't moving around well. He could still play and sing, though.

But no, the dude was on his feet with an instrument in his hands, singing and playing throughout. And it was mostly up-tempo stuff too. Hell, they even played "Helter Skelter"
And he moved really well - even on the piano numbers, he had to go up and down a set of stairs, which is a challenge for people of a certain age. He handled it like a champ, and was constantly in motion during the show.
I was also pleasantly surprised by his band. Not only were they excellent musicians, they did a great job on all the backing vocal parts too

I saw him in Winston-Salem on this tour a few weeks back. One of the best concerts I’ve been to (I was spoon fed Beatles as a child). He is still full of energy. He has a set where his piano is up a flight of stairs. Had no problem jogging up to that level. He is very engaging with the crowd and also gives a lot of tributes to his former bandmates. Go see him if you can! He still sounds great.

Great show tonight, he brought all the energy even at almost 80. I think "Let It Be" was my favorite, but there was no shortage of fantastic moments.

Saw him on two previous tours, there were tons of teenagers and people in their 20s, average age was probably more like 40.

I saw him 10 years ago, thinking it'd probably be the last chance I'd get to see him. Show was amazing...top 5 I've been to. He's 80 now...there's no way we get another 10 years, do we?

He made a point at the end of the show to say something like, "see you all next time!" so he doesn't think he's done.
And yeah it was a younger crowd than I expected, probably averaged mid 40s.

Was at the Knoxville show. Saw every age from a baby to kids to teens to senior citizens. The music is timeless and is appealing to all ages. Obviously his voice isn’t as strong at 80 but it is a great show!!

I saw people bitching on Nextdoor (I know, I know) about having to wait in the heat to get in because parking lots opened at 4 and doors didn't open until 6:30.
Some people are just incapable of thinking for themselves.
