Well Peter and I had a music packed weekend. On Saturday night we went to see Elton John at Kassam Stadium (Oxford's Football ground). We caught the bus out there as that was just much easier. Grabbed a really yummy cheeseburger and headed into the stadium.
We were sitting on the pitch floor and had a reasonable view. What a fantastic show! Such a great performer and he did lots of the old favorites. Towards the end of the show everyone was up and dancing so it was a really great night. Elton does have characteristic 'stand up and point at the crowd' after every song. He is one of those performers that sounds just the same live as recorded, which for me is a good thing :-)
Last night we went and saw Peter's band playing in Banbury. We arrived in Banbury towards the end of the football match (England vs Ecuador) and caught the last couple of minutes. We then waited outside the pub as the cheering and noise was far to loud for me (especially after my nice weekend of HK). Anyway, Peter's gig was really great, probably due to the winning vibes, and of course the great playing. Today my ears are still ringing and I can't hear a great deal! Hopefully it's temporary.
