POOR CHOICE IN VIDEOS FOR BIG SCREENS

Sir John was awesome. But selections for backup screens were disappointing. Instead of big screens being focused on displaying live shots of Elton and band members, there were random photos and videos while totally missing out on showing us Elton’s great performance . However , There was 1 super small screen mounted on the side of the stage facing right field. It was at ground level, so people in walking in and out of ground level seats could still see the show. This screen focused on displaying Elton John’s performance all night. So that is the screen I focused on. If you go, and you get tired of not being able to see close-ups of Elton’s hands playing the piano, see if you can see that little screen which is totally worth it to watch that view.

WANTED TO LOVE IT

I suspect we were there on a bad night for Elton. He relied too much on his back-up singers and pianist. In the end, it sounded almost like someone marginally talented singing karaoke. For the price of the ticket, I was disappointed.

ELTON JOHN BOMBS

The show was a great big disappointment. The sound was so bad the words were indistinguishable and garbled. The lighting was nothing special, there was no choreography, the set never changed except to float some "clouds" on stage and move the piano with Elton playing around a little bit. Stay home and listed to him on headphones... don't waste your money!

SURPRISINGLY BAD

I was very excited to see Elton last night in Raleigh. This would make my third time seeing him since I first saw him in California as a young teenager when he was on his epic Goodbye Yellow Brick Road tour in 1973. That show literally blew my mind. Last night's was a nightmare. He led off with "Bennie and the Jets". Obviously, great tune. But the sound was HORRIBLE. Loud to the point of painful distortion. And the mix was just as bad. Rhythm section loud to the point where you couldn't hear the vocals. "OK", I thought; first song, maybe somebody screwed up the sound check and things will get straightened around. Nope. Next 2 tunes just as bad. My ears literally began to hurt. My wife and I had floor seats and everyone stood up. What's the point of floor seats if every idiot is going to disregard everyone else behind them and stand up waving their recording cell phones in the air? We left while Elton was introducing "Border Song". Memories are best when you don't try to relive them.

RIDICULOUS!

It was so bad that we left one hour into the show. The sound was ridiculous, it was so loud that it reverberated in the entire Amway Center. The movie on the screen behind him was ridiculous and poorly thought out. In the first few songs it was a slideshow of disjointed pictures which had no meaning at all. During one song they would flash the brightest light into your eyes for the entire song. It was really stupid. I was so shocked at how bad the entire production was, what a waste of an evening. What a complete and total wasre of time and an utter disappointment!.

SOUND WAS HORRIBLE!!!

So sad to be delivered such an awful show for such a superstar. Saw Elton with Billie Joel at SAP and it was one of the best ever concerts. This was one of the worst ever concerts. And it's not SAP's fault. The best sound at a concert I ever heard was Roger Water's "Us and Them" tour a few years ago at SAP. It was so far and above anything I had ever heard before that I was stunned. Hard to believe Elton would allow this horrible sound to happen.

SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED

The music quality was poor, acoustics were too loud, the videos were strange, and the presentation was poor. I would just stay home and save your money.
