Elton John and band performed in Madrid on November 1, 2014
Sunday, November 2 2014 |
Fan report by Julio from Spain.
Elton decided to start his Fall & Winter 2014 Tour in Spain. The first stop was in Madrid, at the Barclays Card Center, formerly Palacio de los Deportes. It appeared that would be an incredible night...and was!
At 7:00 pm the organizers opened the door to get inside the arena and it was gradually filled completely. At 8:20 pm the opening act jumped on stage, Bright Light Bright Light, a band led by Rod Thomas, and played five songs, quite successful among the audience.
With British punctuality, Elton came on stage at 9:00 pm, with his black jacket and blue shirt, with the usual song for his shows with the band shows, "Funeral For A Friend".
He got the audience out of their seast on several occasions, with great applause, with songs like "Believe" and "Tiny Dancer". One of the best tracks, personally, was when he played "Burn Down The Mission" and "Hey Ahab", that sounded soooo much Rock! After "Saturday Nights", Elton signed only 2 or 3 autographs ... and finished the show playing masterfully "Circle of Life / Can You Feel The Love Tonight".
In resume, a very good start of tour, but two or three songs from his latest album, The Diving Board, were missing.
