Fan report of the February 17, 2004 show by Debbie Piemonte.

On February 17, 2004 my husband and I attended Elton John’s "Red Piano" show at the Colloseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Elton the showman along with David LaChappelle who is the director in charge of the video and photography and affects put together a show that combines wonderful videos, neon lights, inflatables and much more along with Elton’s fantastic tunes that rocked us for the entire show.

Elton looked and sounded great as did Elton’s band. How thrilling it was to see the "Red Piano" show in Las Vegas. Highlights for me were the song "Believe" that I feel is such a beautiful song and since this is a song that I have not heard Elton play often I felt that hearing it was a real treat.

Another highlight was a figure of a younger Elton all decked out in a costume out of the 70’s. It was so lifelike that we were totally in awe. I’d have to say that my very favorite song from this concert was "Rocket Man" it was quite simply the best rendition I’ve ever heard Elton play of this song. It was quite amazing the way in which Elton pounded the keys and did an extended extended version of this song. I just kept shouting out "Wow Elton Wow!"

Now for every Elton fan I say if you can get out to this show you should go for it and let Elton rock you with his Red Piano and if you can stay at Caesar’s Palace were no matter who you are you will be treated like royalty. I have never stayed at any hotel more beautiful nor anywhere that the staff was so thoughtful and wonderful. And if any of you have children that you will need to bring Caesars contracts with an absolutely fabulous nanny service.

I was even lucky enough to attend the filming of "The View" when Elton was on another memory that I will always treasure. Elton and Vegas a combination that is indeed a must see. Oh and of course lets not forget about the added perk of being able to shop at the beautiful and well-stocked Elton John store. So do your best to get out to Vegas if you can.
