On Thursday night, we went to see Billy Joel and Elton John. This was my third time seeing them together and they are still pretty amazing. The show was 3 1/2 hours and we basically got 2 concerts for the price of 1. Everyone knows I like a good deal :)
I like this picture best because you can see the whole arena. I've always wanted to know what it would feel like to have an entire arena screaming for you. Can you imagine what it would be like to be able to stop playing your song and have like 10,000 sing it back to you? (this is what happens when Billy Joel sings Piano Man) It would be unreal.
It is obvious Elton John is over all the attention though because after the show was over, he came down the stairs, jumped into a little closet in the back of the stage (while everyone was still cheering) and came out 2 seconds later in a track suit and left the arena. I guess rock stars clock in and out at their jobs just like we all do...

this was our first elton/billy concert. quite good. i think we had similar seats to yours, only on the other side of the back of the stage - if i'm reading your pic correctly!
I think I saw Chris in the hallway actually, Dria!
I did take this from our seats - I thought they were decent, despite the cables in our way.
dang looks like fun and i was totes thinking the same thing at brit, like when she was lowered down and everyone was screaming her name...i mean how crazy awesome would that be!!!!
So I have weird question for you. I'm planning on going to this concert in Cleveland and am wondering if the stage is open (i.e., if I get tickets behind the stage, are they okay?)
Please let me know - otherwise, the husband needs to splurge some more for the better seats :)
