"Rocketman"

Really liked the new biopic/musical about Elton John. The Rocketman/Pool sequence is awesome. Very clever - "All this science I don't understand" referring to first aid:



The first rock concert I ever attended was start of senior year in high school - September 3, 1973 - when Elton John played at the University of New Mexico Basketball Arena (The Pit). Awesome!

Elton John counseled the audience to be patient, because he was about to play a series of still unreleased new songs from his new album “Good-bye Yellow Brick Road”. "It can be hard to hear songs for the first time," he said. Thus, I heard a series of fantastic songs for the very first time, live, like “Grey Seal”, and the encore song, “Saturday Night’s All Right For Fightin’”!



And who can forget how he captured the world's mourning hearts in 1997?:
