Assignment 3-1

My weekly analysis is the concert that we had at Nationwide Arena this week featuring Elton John and Billy Joel. This is when you love going to worl. The atmosphere there at the arena was electrifying. these are two of the greatest music icons in the world, on stage together. They opened up together singing, " Dont Let the Sun Go Down on Me", the crowd was just screaming. It actually gave me chills. After that Elton John performed first, and then Billy Joel. The staging was so great, even the people in the press level ( nosebleed section) had a perfect view of the stage/ The backdrop was a black see thru glittering material, so the view qas great for all those ticket holders. I actually feel their view was as good as some of the higher priced seats, which ranged from as high as $225.00 on the floor level.
One of the best highlights of my evening was I was able to take one of my group members on the floor and she got to see Elton John up close. She was so close that she was able to see the sweat drip off of hima dn she started to cry. She was so happy and thankful, she kept saying thank you over and over again. I don't think I realized how star struck I was when I was down there. I have seen a lot of concerts their and this one was one of the greatest. I thought Faith Hill and Tim McGraw was the best, but this one came awful close. They both came back out together and concluded the concert with the all time favorite "Bennie and the Jets".
