Hard to believe that as a 16 year old in Auckland, NZ, in 1980 Elton John opened his show to 40000 fans with this set and it still has the same effect 40 years later. If that doesn’t define ‘classic’ then nothing does

Quite simply the greatest opening in rock. The absolute, unqualified best. Thank you Elton.

As the curtain comes down on Elton's career his legacy will be the music he has left us for decades to come. Iconic, Legendary, one of a kind, stunning , brilliant performer and we must also pay homage to Bernie Taupin the man who put the words in Elton's mouth........

Who is the bald percussionist on top of the platform? He does a fantasitc job, but his appearance reminds me of Paul McCartney's "very clean grandfather" from A Hard Day's Night.

Michael Hopcroft that is Ray Cooper. Look him up. He played with Elton from the mid 70’s till today off and on.

He also played regularly with Eric Clapton. First rate percussionist.
