Review: Ahead of his NZ shows, the Rocketman gave Aussie fans their last taste of his flair and mastery.

The robe came off, revealing a jacket with his shimmering name on the back. Crocodile Rock gave the crowd its first chance to take the lead vocally for the na-na-nas. He dedicated Border Song to the late Aretha Franklin and pulled out a brilliant rendition of Tiny Dancer. With no lapel or portable mic set up, when the Rocket Man stood to rouse the crowd, he was silent. He may not have quite the full range of young Elton, but he still has one hell of a voice. He returned in white – which for this entertainer, apparently means it’s really time to party. Not being one for superfluous chatter, the Rocket Man was here to deliver. If it feels like Elton John has been on his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour for years, that’s because he has. It was a shame and frustrating at times, but his hand gestures and huge smile seemed to be enough to get the crowd to respond. But the crowd for the first night of his Australian tour – and the first concert at this venue in 32 years – was here for the music. The only indication John gave that he was, in fact, a 75-year-old man with a new hip were the moments he left the piano to gingerly walk the stage and gesture to the crowd between songs. He joked to the crowd in Newcastle, NSW, the world has seen Covid-19, and he has a new hip since it began in 2018.
