I saw Elton for the first time 9/26/80 in Lexington. His " 21@33" album had been released and so he played several tracks off of it. I had already played the heck out of that album so I knew all the songs. The show was a lot of fun. I would have loved to have seen an early 70's Elton show but I would have been a bit too young to have fully appreciated it. I wish I could have heard him perform "Curtains"(1976-Captain Fantastic) at one of the live shows I've attended, as it is one of my all-time favorites.
