Fan report by Julio, Jose & Rosa from Spain.

The concert started with the support act Pearl and the Puppets. They performed very well and surprised the audience with their quality!

Elton's performance began with "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" and continued with "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)". I think this is very good start, but I prefer other songs to start, like during The Big Picture Tour, for example, when he kicked off with "Circle Of Life"!

The set list was very good, with highlights such as "Burn Down The Mission", "Honky Cat" with a magic Davey Johnstone celebrating his 2000th show with Elton, and the amazing "Skyline Pigeon", which was to vibrate the entire building, very emotional and I hope that he will never remove it from the set list.

The only downside of the concert was that the loudness level which was too high at times, and I think that should be corrected for future Elton shows.

Overall a fantastic show in a beautifull arena!
