Elton John and band performed in Madrid on July 20, 2015
Tuesday, July 28 2015

Fan report by Julio Vila.

The concert at the Teatro Real in Madrid was simply spectacular. And it was clear from the beginning that it was going to be a special night, and so it was.

It was the last concert of the summer tour, and Elton and his band were in high spirits. Just like during most of the recent shows, Elton jumped on stage with "The Bitch is Back", a song to begin the concerts with great force.

Elton also apologized, since the concert had been advertized as Piano Solo. He explained that he will never again to do a concert solo piano. He also re-stated that from now on he will do less concerts so he can spend more time with his children. But at no time he said that he will never do anymore tours.

Anyway, this concert was part of the Follow Yellow Brick Road Tour and unfortunately no new song made it into the set list. Even worse, the set list had been shortened gradually in the course of the tour.

The concert was full of Spanish celebrities, and for Elton the show was another triumph in Spain.

As highlights, I emphasize the solo piano of "The One," and the power that "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" had as well as "Burn Down The Mission."

Elton, Spain awaits you next year with your new tour!
