EJ in AD...What a Dream...Come...True!

Most who know me know how much I love Elton John.  Last month Brad and I went to see Justin Timberlake in concert at the Emirates Palace, in an ampitheater out on the beach.  It was a fabulous concert in an incredible venue.  At the time I said, "The ulimate concert would be Elton in this venue."  Well, about two weeks after that, it was announced that Elton was coming to THAT VERY VENUE!  Needless to say we were so excited.  We counted the tickets as our Christmas and 11th anniversary gifts to each other.....Then....I got soooooo sick!  I mean, I haven't been that sick for as long as I can remember.  The morning of the 22nd I woke feeling like I'd been hit by not just a truck but 5 trucks, at least.  I ached everywhere.  As evidence of how awful I felt, not only did I not care about the Elton concert that night but if he were to have walked into my room to visit me, I'm not sure I would have lifted my head off the pillow.  Proof positive that I am blessed with really good health.  I am a terrible sick person.  Compounding the pain was the knowledge that I wouldn't enjoy the concert to it's fullest potential.  By that night, I rallied, took lots of aspirin and looking like night of the living dead, I trudged into the concert.  I missed the warm-up party at Jenn West's house but I did make it to the concert.  Shake my groove thing??? NO.  Would have, if I could have, but couldn't.  It was fabulous.  EJ is so amazing.  He played mostly his early stuff. Illustrating just what a great career he has had...He played for 2.5 hours and hadn't even moved through half of his 1990's stuff.

Bad word...I know.  But he was singing his old song..."The B@#$h is Back" with this sign flashing in the background.  It was pure Elton flashy.
