Alright, alright, alright
We were a little worried about our seats for Elton John; they weren’t listed as obstructed-view, and were pretty close to the floor, but they were behind the stage.
Fortunately for us, the stage had no back, so we had an unbeatable view. I think it was better than being front-row, because we could actually see everything on the stage.
Oh, and, to the Texas queen with the enormous black cowboy hat and matching black mesh tee shirt sitting in row 2 or 3, dead center: You, sir, rock.
Update 3/28: The Chronicle has a pretty accurate review of the concert. “Nearly an hour into the performance, John finally struck that first masterful chord of Bennie and the Jets, and the crowd collectively leapt to its feet.” That is, in fact, exactly how it happened.
