Billy Joel and Elton John

A night that will NEVER be forgotten.
(Never - I got the program, shirt, and poster)

February 19th, 2010 7:30pm to 11pm Billy Joel and Elton John performed at the Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City their Face-2-Face tour.
Billy Joel and Elton John played together for 3 hours of musical amazement.

Will and I were there along with our great friends Jake and Kat Wyatt.
History:
I have been an avid fan of Billy Joel since I was a small Zygote in my Mama's tummy. My mom and dad would have his music playing near my mom's belly while she was pregnant with me. The obsession with Billy Joel continued to high school and then onto college. I listened to Billy Joel to escape life, to get myself ready for a track meet, to sooth myself asleep at night, to teach my students the importance of rock-n-roll, and to honestly just smile. I LOVE his music.

I was overwhelmed with emotion when Billy Joel came out on stage. I cried, I laughed, I sang, I hugged Will all night, I danced, and jumped sky high when he played "We didn't start the Fire!"



Elton John also performed and he was unbelievable. It was flashy and over-the-top excitement to see him with his multiple wardrobe changes, his red star sun glasses, and his ability to awe an audience. He played ALL the classics in style and pizazz. He truly is "SIR" Elton John.

It was the best night and I am honored that I got to be in the presence of my life long musical hero. It was amazing!
