Year 2000, just googled it.

Not found any news about the B2Net concert yet.

No access to Sheffield Rd either, from old Netto roundabout to Whitt Moor roundabout.
Glad I'm not at work.

NO restrictions at the drive in version of the concert..... I, together with dozens of other cheapskates, watched it on the giant screens from Tesco car park.  lol

I'm with you, OC.  I don't like Elton at all ... but I do like "some" of his music.

The staging was good, the lighting was effective and his fans were enjoying themselves.   Personally, I only really
enjoyed "Don't let the sun go down on me" which was sung just as the sun was setting, and "Crockodile Rock" which ended the
concert and really did  "rock da house."

Post by: Pete on June 11, 2012, 04:37:32 PM
We're in agreement then. :) I liked some of his earlier stuff - but the funny thing is, he said that Crocodile Rock was his least favourite song whilst it is my fave tune.

My problem is that I saw a documentary of him on the road a few years ago and he came over a  selfish, gobby drama queen - and I lost my respect for him there and then...  :(

The very best part of the event, for me, was having a nibble of his .................................... chocolate piano   ;D

I agree - I like the songs, but not the singer  :)
