This is the first time he's ever toured in Alaska, and it was FUN! Really, really fun. The Carlson Center, sadly, has the acoustics of a hockey rink -- unsurprising, since that's what it is most of the time -- but it was still a very good show; I loved not just getting to see him perform in person, but the different arrangements of the songs for solo piano without a backup band. And he looked like he was having fun, too.
Any fellow Fairbanks people who were there, if you happened to notice a 6-foot neon "ELTON" sign made of glo-sticks towards the back of the floor seating area (it was sort of hard to miss) -- that was a co-worker of mine waving it around. :D
