I am English and have just visited Las Vegas. I looked forward to seeing Elton John in the larger than life Las Vegas environment. All I wanted was to see Elton John and listen to him sing and play. Something he does and did well. This show was so offensive and particularly to women. I notice one review says not to focus on the video screen, with Elton sat on the left of the stage and the video taking centre stage it is very hard to focus on anything other than the props. The weird show detracts from the performance and god knows what was going on in his head when he allowed footage of dying solders, suicide attempts and the burning of women's private parts to go ahead. I am the same age as Elton and can remember paying peanuts to see him. A young woman of 26 who was at the concert had the same view as me, so I am not a grumpy old woman. I realise he has had a few knocks in life, but hey haven't we all? come Elton get over yourself and earn your crust. I have just read reviews from his concert last week in Yorkshsire, UK. down the road from where I live. No mention of offensive props and videos just admiration for his performance. I can only assume that his UK tour will be more traditional and I advise Elton to stick to that in future.
Don't go to Vegas to see Elton come over to the UK where he would never get away with the rubbish shown in Las Vegas.
I also didn't like the cronies getting up and dancing around the piano. I didn't pay $194 to see someones fat [--].
