Default Been there, done that, too.........

I saw him do the two man show with Ray Cooper. It was awesome!

Elton came out and did a number of his hits playing either piano, or electric piano.

Somewhere about half way, the curtains behind him opened up, and there was this massive array of percussion instruments, with Ray, looking like a brittle, little old man, wearing those wire rim glasses, jumping from instrument to instrument, like a madman. It was extraordinary!

I know what you mean about Elton pounding the keys. I started out on drums and I am a very hard hitter, so naturally when I took up piano, I really tended to slam those keys. I remember gigs, as a younger man, where I walked away with bloody fingertips!
