Elton - The Early Years Season 2 Started last week
Our first season was great. Out of the box our first show was 40,000 people at an outdoor festival. The highlights were packed shows and standing O's. We were approached by the Ultimate Beatles Tribute band "The Fabfour" to play a special show with them in Los Angeles at Club Nokia. The Show was Oct 9th, 2010 and was a special tribute to John Lennon for what would have been his 70th birthday. Beatle tributes across the country and around the world were being done for John on this day, but The Fabfour had it locked up for Los Angeles.
When I was introduced in their show as Elton John, the place went nuts.. thousands of people at a sold out show. We re-enacted 1974 Elton John & John Lennon at Madison Square Garden. Opened with "Whatever gets you Through The Night", and from there we played Eltons version of "Lucy In The Sky with Diamonds", and then into "I Saw Her Standing There", which was what they did in that show, but then for a twist... John Lennon left the stage and I went forward in time and performed "Empty Garden". CNN was there and gave me and The FabfourHigh Reviews. The videos are on youtube, so I hope you look up Elton The Early Years "Empty Garden", "Lucy In The Sky" etc.
Here is a link (if it works on this board) to "Empty Garden" shot by CNN http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoFdFzzwxhw
The Fabfour.. absolutely the best Beatle Tribute and 100% top notch guys and performers. They spare no expense to make the Illusion the best.
Our Season 2 started out with a Casino Gig in Arizona to a packed house. Looking forward to the HUGE shows we have booked but just have not revealed the gigs due to contracts time of release restrictions.
Hope you all have a great 2011 and play a lot
