Here's an idea---how about 'Skyline Pigeon' as the opening song. That's the song that Elton declared was the first one that meant anything. The first real quality song in his opinion. However I'd be shocked if he started the shows with that or with 'Empty Sky'. One could only wish.
As for the closing song, I think it's a strong possibility that he'll end with 'Your Song'. His signature song. If not that one, GYBR would be great, or 'Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me' would be really appropriate.

I wouldn't be surprised to see "Your Song" wrap up the concerts either. To open the shows I think that something rocking will take place. "Skyline Pigeon" is nice and they love it in Brazil and it is a quality song from EMPTY SKY but I doubt that gets played unless he does a "suite" of lesser known quieter songs mid-set like he did in 1982 when he played "Chloe" and "Where To Now St. Peter?" and "Ticking" which was truly superb.
It will be interesting to see what they decide on.

Just to let you know, I am heading off on some travels which will eventually include seeing Elton on September 25 in Toronto. I won't be back on this site until the travels are done in late September but I promise to include a detailed CONCERT REVIEW from the Toronto show once I return.
For anyone seeing EJ this month, I wish you a wonderful time at the concert.
Back at the end of the month!
Doug

Safe travels Doug and enjoy the concert in Toronto! I will at the concert in Ottawa on the 28th. with my wife, our son and daughter. I'm looking forward to a great show. I'm anxious to see the set list and if there is any addition to the band (backup singers, Ray Cooper, additional musicians???). Have fun everybody!
