Henley, Andrea and I went to see Elton John at Estadio Ricardo Saprissa in Tibas on Friday night. It was spectacular--a 2.5hr jam session during which he sang all (and I mean all) his biggest hits. Although his range isn't as large as it once was (he'll take the low octave and let his back-up singers--one of which is a former member of Sly & the Family Stone--take the high), what he lacked at hitting the high notes he more than made up for on the piano and with his energy and showmanship. I feel lucky to have gotten the opportunity to see him.
