As a bonus, you get an Elton John concert.
One or twice a decade I go see an artist and am happily surprised to see Cooper in the band. Such a great musician and such a blast to watch. If you're not familiar with him, imagine if the "Six Flags guy" were a master percussionist.
Lily: That man is having too much fun.
Elton was great, BTW. Walking a bit like Jorma these says. The band was tight, but the sound was shit on the louder numbers. The delay towers were way too far from the stage, I think. The delay and the bounce-back from the far seats made for an audio mess on that end. On the quieter numbers, it actually created a pretty cool effect here and there. Was hoping for a Madman Across the Water, but one can't play everything. Also, kinda cool that 20-year-olds know all the words to tunes from the 70's. Props to EJ.
First time at MetLife. Nice staff. F'n ugly building. It looks like a multi-blade razor taken to extremes. I think SNL did a sketch some decades ago. Now with 15 blades!
Anyhoo, Ray Cooper. F'n awesome.

Couldn't agree more, the man
Couldn't agree more, the man is a monster percussionist who we've probably all seen dozens of times without knowing it.
For quite a while there it seemed like he pretty much played with 90% of the bands who toured here from over the pond.
He tore, I said tore,, the shit up at the ARMS tour in NYC. Love that man, , good call

Meh. I've always thought he is a bit too much of a poser.
He's good & all and I get it's entertainment, but for my taste there's too much "look at ME!" in that guy's game.
