Fan report and photos by Ulrick Garde.

This evening was fantastic. As the big fan of Elton John I am ,I went to Sweden to see Elton the day before the show in Denmark.

Elton was good in Sweden despite the terrible weather, but it was not to compare with the show here in Denmark. Horsens is a small Danish city, and with only 5000 people the concert was expected to be quite intimate, and it was!

My girlfiend, my brother, his girlfriend and myself made it to the venue approx. 1 1/2 hours before the doors opened. Not many people were there at that time, so we got a fantastic view, only about 4 meters from Eltons piano!

Then the clock turned 8.30 pm and Elton came on stage wearing a black suit and brown sunglasses. The audience was fantastic throughout the whole show, and you could see that Elton really enjoyed playing here.

I was lucky to get my tour book signed. One guy even got his shoe signed by Elton, who was very generous with autographs! I had never been so close to him before!

His voice was fantastic, the sound was great, and he really got us all in his hand! He even improvised so much that when he saw a little kid wearing a t-shirt saying "Nikita", Elton said that because of that he wanted to play "Nikita". This resulted in the set list being the same as the one in Trondheim, Norway, except for "The Greatest Discovery" being replaced with "The One" and "Ticking" being played instead of "Original Sin".

This will be a night to remember, and Sir Elton, I do gave no idea where you get the energy from, but I have never heard or seen any musician with such a voice, talent and such a way of playing piano.

Thank you for rocking all of us tonight!
