Hier wäre der erste Termin im Hollywood Palladium 2.November:
Elton John, Leon Russell to play the Palladium
Last month we learned that two of the greatest piano men in the history of rock -- Elton John and Leon Russell -- have teamed for their first album together, The Union. Produced by T Bone Burnett, whose every high-profile project seems to translate into Grammy gold, the collaboration -- also featuring contributions from Neil Young, Brian Wilson, Booker T. Jones, Robert Randolph and John's longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin -- arrives Oct. 19 from Decca Records.
But now comes something really special: For the first time in decades, John (now 63) and Russell (68, though the number behind his head in the pic is just coincidental) will perform live together, and at a more intimate venue than Sir Elton has played around in years. The two titans of the ivories will appear Nov. 3 at the Hollywood Palladium, playing together as well as separately, with their own bands. (Wonder if any of the album's guest, or at least Burnett, will turn up for this rare gig, too.) Tickets, $99 each (including all service charges and fees), go on sale Friday, Aug. 6, at 10 a.m. at all Ticketmaster outlets and online, as well as by phone at 877-554-8399. There is a four-ticket limit per person. Photo, from the 2010 MusiCares Person of the Year tribute to Neil Young in January, by Larry Busacca, Getty Images.
hört sich cool an. Aber the first time in decades stimmt ja nicht ganz. Vor 2 Monaten haben sie doch auf irgendeiner privaten Feier was zusammen gespielt, war da nicht was??
War wohl jeder sprachlos:-) Kann sein, bin mir nicht sicher... Wenn man will, sind sie auch bei MusiCares Ende Januar zusammen aufgetreten.. Wenn die beiden in gut erreichbarer Nähe wären, würd ich sie mir liebend gerne ansehen. Bin gespannt, ob das zu einer Art Mini-Tour ausgebaut wird und natürlich noch mehr, ob sie dann auch in Europa was machen.

Von den Ticketpreise war auf ej.com nichts zu lesen, sollen aber zwischen 79 und 189 Dollar liegen
Gab's das da?? Ist an mir spurlos vorübergegangen, muss ich gestehen.. Hatte zu dem Zeitpunkt aber auch noch keinen PC daheim;-) Da so Premieren grundsätzlich nur in Amerika stattfinden, wäre das echt ein kleiner Ausgleich. Technisch sollte sowas ja kein Problem darstellen. Vielleicht gegen einen kleinen Unkostenbeitrag, den mit Sicherheit viele bereit wären zu zahlen und schon ließe sich damit auch noch etwas verdienen...
Ich hab gestern Kim Bullard auf seiner Facebook-seite gefragt, ob er in NY mit der EJ Band spielt.. Und er meinte, dass das die Show mit den T-Bone Sessionmusikern sein wird, von der er glaubt, dass es noch eine 2. in LONDON geben wird..
Aaaalso sollten wir uns für eine Reise nach London Ende Oktober, Anfang November klarmachen...
