Happy Late 40th Anniversary!

Self portrait taken in front of a "Key Arena" information sign which you can't see!
This gives you an idea of where our seats were. So very fun!
Elton John with his funky long jacket and red glasses- he had a different funky jacket for the second half and green glasses. They both performed for the first bit, then Elton John by himself (which I didn't enjoy as much), and then Billy Joel by himself and then they came on together again at the end. Altogether it lasted from 7:30 until after 11:00.

Their pianos came up from under the stage and were on rotating platforms. Elton John never rotated his piano, but Billy Joel did (often while he was singing and performing!) Only the pianos that were being played were on stage. When Elton John went off his piano went back under the stage. Billy Joel introduced all of his band, but Elton John didn't say anything.
The first couple of songs we didn't put our ear plugs in, but after that we were glad to have them. The sound and light show was tremedous!
