Elton John & Billy Joel

You definitely read the title correct.

Last night Elton John and Billy Joel graced Chicago with their music and presence. Michael got us tickets to watch the two legends perform live at Wrigley Field. They were awesome to watch. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the two of them perform together on stage.

The concert started with both on stage in dueling piano style. Then Elton John took the stage and performed for almost an hour and a half solo. Billy Joel and his crew of New Englanders and one Australian, who I believe on the weekends works in Las Vegas for Thunder Down Under, were up next. Billy Joel made a lot of jokes and played tons of music. After Billy Joel was done performing solo, Elton John joined him back on the stage for another 45 minutes of dueling pianos and great music. It was four hours and one of the best and most memorable concerts I have ever been to. Michael and I enjoyed every minute.

Special thanks to Jen at Michael's office who let him in on the fact that tickets were going on sale.

About Us

My photo
Michael and I have been together since 2006. We met in college at the University of Arkansas and began our life together. We bought a house and moved to Fayetteville from the Chicagoland area in November 2009. We were married in 2010 and had our first child, a boy, in 2013. Our favorite thing to do together is travel and we have gotten the opportunity to go to lots of fun places. We are working, breathing, playful parents. Our fur baby and child are the center of our crazy life, but we wouldn't have it any other way.
