Around about 33,000 people enjoyed a fabulous concert full of many of the John/Taupin classics on a perfect spell-binding evening in the Stadium. There were a couple of new songs from the Captain & The Kid CD, but mostly it was the classics including Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Candle In The Wind, Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word, Sacrifice, Rocket Man etc.

And the second encore, a dip back into the real oldies bag, Your Song seemed a genuine expression of affection from EJ to the New Zealand audience that had waited over 20 years for this event.

A genuinely magical evening from a true showman!
