Elton John is without a doubt a living legend and one of the most fortunate things about living in Los Angeles, epecially Hollywood, is having the opportunity to see amazing ‘once in a lifetime’ type performances like this one. Elton John and Leon Russel was a concert I will never forget.
This show was a one of a few rare performance to promote the recent collaboration between Elton John and Leon Russel. Honestly, before this show I was completely unaware of who Leon Russel was, but it says a lot that he was a highlight for many people at a show that featured Sir Elton.

While I enjoyed Elton John’s performance immensely, I too was amazed by Leon Russel’s voice. His ZZ-Top appearance was an interesting contrast to Elton’s sparkly sequin “Rocket Man” jacket. I can’t say it enough… putting these two performers on stage at venue like the Palladium was an incredible experience.

I will not hesitate, given the opportunity to see either of these guys again. The show was being recorded on video and audio, so I would expect to see something released from this show in the near future. Give their new album “The Union” a listen!

In such cases, rub the lens gently with clean fingertip by
placing it on your palm. This would also be better than continuously hoping that they will come back to you someday.
If that’s the case, I’ve got some terrific advice for you.
