Elton John Rolls Out Greatest Hits (And Ben Folds!) For Bonnaroo 2014 Finale

FUSE TV - Elton John Rolls Out Greatest Hits (And Ben Folds!) For Bonnaroo 2014 Finale

At a music festival where people are walking around with stuffed animals impaled on PVC pipes to help them stand out in the crowd and hip-hop and EDM shows rage into the wee hours of the morning, Elton John and his scarlet piano were either going to feel totally at home as Bonnaroo's big closing set or completely out of place. Thankfully, 90,000 people jumping around like maniacs and screaming the "LA LA LA LA LAAAAA"-es of "Crocodile Rock" made for the perfect, unifying sing-along to close Bonnaroo's thirteenth year, and Sir Elton was able to chalk his official American festival debut up as a perfect, sequined smash.

There's only one complaint to be filed for Elton following this epic set, and that complaint is the following: ONE LION KING SONG WOULD'VE BEEN AWESOME, SIR. Beyond a severe lack of "Can You Feel The Love Tonight," there's nothing remotely negative to be said about the career-spanning performance Elton served up to Bonnaroo's final night on a sequined platter. The selections were perfect, the banter charming and the execution superb. Starting with "Love Lies Bleeding," Elton and crew didn't want for the hits to show themselves, with "Bennie and the Jets," "Candle in the Wind," "Levon" and "Tiny Dancer" coaxing a steady roar of approval from the crowd for the first half an hour.
