It certainly was! I remember in Ottawa, Neil was so exhausted during the encore, he was slumped over. For a moment I thought he had passed out, then when he needed to come back in, he was right on time. (This was during A Passage to Bangkok).
We were with Sprint for 7 days. It was an absolute nightmare. The bill was double what they said we would pay, and about $100 more than Verizon who we were with. They had a return policy on the new phones. When they said they wouldn't take the phones back because they were used (although they had a 30 day return policy), when I went to call Channel 2's consumer line, they were all of a sudden very happy to take the phones back.
The most wild thing I've seen was up in the observation tower of Mt. Diablo near Oakland. Mt Diablo is in Walnut Creek. It's about 3700 ft in elevation. Once while in the observation tower on a clear day, I could literally see the curvature of the earth from well south of San Jose up well into the North Bay. Right along the Pacific Ocean shoreline. In the other direction I could clearly see Sacramento and even make out some peaks from the Sierra Nevada Range.
I love that song! Would be amazing if he plays that next month. (My wife and I have club seats for this show at the stadium).
My all time favorite Elton song!
When I saw Rush in 1996, they did the entire side 1 of 2112. I thought that was it. Couldn't be topped.
Then in the 2nd set, they brought this out. That topped 2112 for me. Became a mainstay for a couple of tours after.
Actually a friend of mine just went through an ankle replacement. If I can put it correctly, it's where they literally remove the ankle bone, and do some grafting to where the ankle bone needs to regrow. My friend is also a tough mofo. In the 6 weeks since his surgery, he's already gone to a walking boot and can put 50lbs of pressure in limited quantities. Here's to the same outcome for JK.
A quick Google search, (Google, WHAT A CONCEPT) led me to the Bills Mafia Babes Instagram page.
To say it is disappointing is an gross understatement.
