Music good...video repulsive

by CajunRon50

If you are entertainment by a strange looking unclothed blond woman with a bloody nose sitting in an electric chair with her crotch on fire then this show is for you. I was a great fan of Elton John's music. Now whenever I hear any of it...the ridiculous and repulsive image is all that comes to my mind. I knew Elton was not main stream. I did not know he (or more likely his producers) were repulsive. It is difficult to ignore the enormous sized videos in the background as Elton sings but if you can ignore them the performance would be good (not great but good). To be honest, other than a few vulgar worded jokes Elton just doesn't have much stage presentation. The best way to enjoy Elton is though CDs and mp3 players.

Would never recommend.

This show was horrible. I was uncomfortable the entire time. From the first video with bare breasts being bounced around I was surprised. I was hoping that was all I was going to have to endure, but it only got worse! Elton has a fabulous voice and is such a talented piano player, but we felt like we paid a very high price to watch p*rn! There was an interpretive dance of wife beating.... a very weird video of "Someone saved my life tonight" that involved some sort of good vs. evil - really not sure. But the bare breasted 'bride' with a bloody nose and flames shooting out of her crotch WHAT??? It was a freak show... never never would I recommend this show to anyone! Gross and completely unnecessary. I feel sorry for anyone who has those images in their head and feels it necessary to express them. Therapy would be a good option. This is not art or interpretive, it's just plain SICK!

Elton John Caesars Palace

by WithoutATrace

Greg loved it and so did I!!!!! Elton was in a great mood (seen him when he hasn't been). He was very humble and appreciative of his fans. Every song was outstanding. We sat in the first rows and I would do it again in a heartbeat! If you are an Elton fan, buy the tickets..........worth every penny. Greg laughed all thru "Pinball Wizard". I think my favorite of the night was "The Xxxxx Is Back". He even sang "Good-Bye Yellow Brick Road"....opened w/ "Bennie and the Jets"!! We loved it!!!

• Pros: The palace is the perfect size!!
• Cons: I wish the show had been longer. Seemed like 15 minutes!!!
