Just remembered that I have tickets to see Elton John and Billy Joel tonight.

You poor man.

You poor man.

The set list for the tour is very heavy on their 70s material and I'm a fan of their work in that era. Elton annoys the hell out of me these days, but I'll still enjoy his old songs.

Elton John with Billy Joel:

"Your Song"
"Honesty"
"Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me"
"Ode To Joy" -> "My Life"

Elton John:

"Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding"
"Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting"
"Burn Down the Mission"
"Madman Across the Water"
"Tiny Dancer"
"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"
"Daniel"
"Rocket Man"
"Levon"
"I'm Still Standing"
"Crocodile Rock"

Billy Joel:

"Prelude/Angry Young Man"
"Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)"
"Allentown"
"Zanzibar"
"She's Always A Woman"
"Scenes from an Italian Restaurant"
"I Go To Extremes"
"River of Dreams"
"We Didn't Start the Fire"
"Be Bop A Lula" -> "It's Still Rock N' Roll To Me"
"Only the Good Die Young"

Elton John with Billy Joel:

"The Bitch Is Back"
"You May Be Right"
"Bennie and the Jets"
"Birthday" -> "Back in the USSR"

I'm only 20 but I'm the same, I love Elton John's earlier stuff, but can't stand him much now. Madman Across The Water is a terrific album!

In my seat at the AT&T Center - home of the San Antonio Spurs. The show starts in 45 minutes. I'm drinking $6 beers (Fat Tire).

Yay Newmans Playdays has reached over 500 views :D the more then any other of my vids.

Well done dude! I bet it will hit more with Playdays tag on it.

Has Elton John had too much plastic surgery and/or Botox? He seemed to pronounce words kind of strangely and I don't think I saw his upper lip move all night.

I wouldn't be at all surprised.

Just got my Sky+ box installed in my room. :D

*has a little Sky party*

How does Sky plus work is it held locally on a HD?

Yeah. It has a HD in it, either 40GB, 80GB or 160GB (I think) But the silly thing is, on the two bigger HDs, half of the space is taken up by Anytime TV (which is a selection of the "best shows of the week") Although, their choices are sometimes questionable. And you can't choose to use that reserved space for your own recordings either :S

Sky+ IMO seems to be the best and simplest PVR out there, I highly recommend it to any telly fan.

So in theory I could remove the HD an put in a larger one? or does it have a basic OS on it?

You can replace the HD, I think the box I'm using has a bigger HD in it. But sometimes I've heard there is a problem with the OSD metre bar thing, I've read it displays the amount used and free wrong. But that's probably noobs who don't know how to do it.

So if in theory you can change the HD in theory you could record on one box take to another box or record then plug into computer and view them like that?
