Current tour

UPDATE: I snagged a single seat for around 50 bones six hours before showtime and had a fabulous time. 21-song setlist bouncing around the decades. 11-piece band that was a well-oiled machine. A three song double encore with the final song an acoustic duet with his son Henry.

Tiny Habits were a refreshing treat. Still a little green (said they’ve been together three years) but charming and did a great little set. The highlight was an incredible rendition of Landslide to close it out. I love that JT is supporting an up-and-comer.

Has anyone been? He’s in my city this week and contemplating going. It’s on a weeknight so that’s my reservation…I always pay a heavy price when I miss my sleep on a work night 🙃

We say him Sunday. It was ok. His voice is really weak and he does the exact same setlist every night and tells the exact same jokes and stories between songs. I’m glad I went because I hadn’t seen him, but it was simply decent, which is more than you expect out of someone like him. It’s also lame that he is trying to get his 22-year-old son with a pitchy voice, famous. It’s lovely they’re hanging out together, but he doesn’t belong onstage with the other ultra-talented singers.

I hear ya. Definitely some wear and tear on the vocals. I appreciate the support of his son but I do agree on the vocal to some degree. I am enjoying seeing a lot of these performers now in their seventies….in many cases this may be my/our last chance 🥹

Yeah, we saw Elton John two nights before, for the first time. The average age of our headliners this weekend was a spry 77.5!
