Thanks. I read a couple of newspaper reviews from the concert in Salt Lake City or somewhere. While they were very positive, it showed that the reviewers knew nothing about Elton and Bernie. The one guy thought that Elton and Bernie had not written together since the 70s and that all the material Elton had done in the 80s and 90s was without Bernie and was therefore "shmaltzy" and not musically relevant. Of course we all know that they were only apart for about two years at best, and furthermore while I don't love all the 80s stuff, his 90s stuff is mostly excellent and sure as hell not "shmaltzy". The idiot reviewer went to on say how Elton was a fabulous "retro act". This drives me insane. HE IS NOT A RETRO ACT. In fact when I go to his concerts I pray he will play newer material and not just greatest hits. Jeez Louise.
