How Elton John Set the Stage for Modern Las Vegas Residencies

If there was ever a rock artist born to play Vegas, it's Elton John : He finally did, beginning a long-term residency on Feb. 13, 2004 at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

These five-nights-a-week performances attracted adoring fans, vacationing tourists, and high rollers who dropped a couple hundred thou at the poker tables for the privilege of seeing the Rocket Man up close and personal.

The modern Vegas show ultimately evolved into a true theatrical event. Look no further than the Cirque du Soleil Beatles celebration Love  or the intimate and improvisational Garth Brooks run for examples. John's Vegas productions helped set the template for multi-platinum artist residencies on the Strip, with a level of production values far beyond just John and his seasoned touring band playing through his hits.

For his first Las Vegas show, The Red Piano , John teamed with director David LaChapelle to develop a full production that incorporated videos playing on a massive screen (it was 120 feet wide, and 40 feet high) behind the band. There was more – much more: For "The Bitch Is Back," Pamela Anderson performed a pole dance; a clip for "Rocket Man" starred Justin Timberlake as a young Elton John, relating the song's otherworldly lyrics to John's own stratospheric launch into super-stardom in the '70s.

"I wanted to do a production that really reflected my tastes in art and photography," John said at the time. "It was a chance to be reflective about my career, not in a sentimental way but a fun way. ... It's one of the biggest stages in the world, so if you don't fill it up, you're in trouble."

Watch Elton John Perform 'Bennie and the Jets' in Las Vegas

The Red Piano  show also toured Europe and was made into a concert film for home video; in Vegas alone, it's believed to have grossed more than $160 million dollars.

John kicked off a second Vegas show in September 2011, as the The Million Dollar Piano built more variety into the set list by featuring some deep album cuts and a duet interlude featuring his voice and piano along with percussionist Ray Cooper. The show's production centerpiece was just as the title suggested: a Yamaha grand piano tricked out with 68 LED screens that featured images as John played the hits.

In addition to Cooper, John also enlisted a Croatian cellist duo known as 2Cellos to accompany the band. They became known for opening some of John's concerts with a cellos-only cover of AC/DC 's "Highway to Hell."

Since then, rockers like  Styx , Def Leppard ,  Rod Stewart , Meat Loaf , Billy Idol , Motley Crue , Journey and ZZ Top have all mounted their own long-term Las Vegas residencies, often departing for months at a time before returning for extended engagements. It all started right here.

[Review] Elton John: The Red Piano (2008)

A DVD of Elton John’s Las Vegas performance. All sixty minutes of it.

Kronomyth 40-point-pick a number: Cher and Cher alike.

What’s black and white and red all over? The Red Piano , and not Progrography, so you can take my grousing with a grain of salt. When Queen Celine took up residence in the Palace, it raised eyebrows. When Elton John became the second of Las Divas to do so in 2004, it surely signaled the Apocalypse.

Since I am whipped more than the inside of a Twinkie, I took my wife to see this show in 2008. It was good. It was short. I felt sort of greasy afterwards, as if I’d just watched a Dutch porn film with a large leprechaun in it. The Red Piano DVD revived it all for me and, honestly, it did bring back more fond memories than fondled ones.

The shows (I wouldn’t call them concerts) lasted roughly 90 minutes; on some nights, back-to-back shows were scheduled. Since the format and the playlist remained pretty much static from year to year (imagine how tiring it must be to deliver the same quips week after week), this DVD capturing one night’s performance is an accurate representation of any show from any evening. Of course, most of the audience didn’t have the stage-level view of the cameras, so our eyes were often on the large-screen videos and inflatable props. Personally, the show’s sexual overtones left me feeling uncomfortable; by the time the inflatable breasts were pumped up, I felt like I’d wandered into a Coors Light campus party or a Pink Floyd show gone horribly wrong.

The films created by Dave LaChapelle are occasionally very good (“Rocket Man,” “I’m Still Standing”) but the overtly sexual content seems unwarranted (“The Bitch Is Back,” “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me”). Then again, maybe I’ve misunderstood the “go down on me” part all these years. As for the music, it’s adequate. Elton John is clearly past the peak of his performances, and the best that can be said of the downward climb is that he’s in good company (Davey Johnstone, Nigel Olsson). For most of the audience (myself included), it was enough that Elton gave a passable rendition, as we were singing along with him anyway.

I can’t see why you’d want to own this DVD if you didn’t see the show, but for the millions who already have, it’s a nice souvenir. The 2-DVD/CD version includes a DVD with behind-the-scenes footage, the original “films” from Dave LaChapelle and an audio CD with the same tracks in the same order. And if you’re still waiting for a “red pianist” joke, there it was.

Taylor Swift’s ‘Red’ Tour: Her Amps Go Up to 22

By Rob Sheffield

Rob Sheffield

Best fan sign at last night’s Taylor Swift show in Newark, New Jersey: “I Newark Were Trouble.” Second best: “Don’t Listen to Poehler & Fay [sic], You’re Great in Every Way!” Bonus points to the two girls shaking booty outside the venue, hoping for tickets, waving giant cardboard 2’s (because they’re feelin’ 22) and wearing homemade “Not a Lot Going On at the Moment” T-shirts, dancing around the parking lot to a boombox blasting Red . I hope they got in. Because what a massively excellent show.

Seeing Taylor Swift live in 2013 is seeing a maestro at the top of her or anyone’s game. No other pop auteur can touch her right now for emotional excess or musical reach – her punk is so punk, her disco is so disco. The red sequins on her guitar match the ones on her microphone, her shoes and 80 percent of the crowd. Her set is mostly new songs from Red , the slickest, smartest and just plain best mega-pop statement of our time. She’s a master of every rock-star move, except the one about dialing it down a notch. But who would ever want that? (Besides the whiny exes she keeps writing songs about?) “Hi, I’m Taylor,” she said by way of an introduction. “I write songs about my feelings. I’m told I have a lot of feelings.” You are told this accurately, Taylor.

Playlist: Rolling Stone Readers’ Favorite Taylor Swift Songs

Nobody can touch her for fan hysteria, either – when Taylor announced, “Thirteen thousand of you opted into hearing about my feelings for the next two hours !,” she set off the loudest screaming I’ve heard since the last time I saw her, at the end of her 2011 tour, reaching ungodly levels of girl-shriek saturation. The audience is part of the show, with their homemade red costumes, placards, Lite Brite codes and more glowsticks than an Inspiral Carpets reunion. For most of them, Taylor is the first girl they’ve seen play a guitar, a signifier that cannot be denied. When she said, “I look into this audience and I see a lot of creativity,” it got one of the loudest cheers of the night. She also explained to the younger fans what a 12-string guitar is. “It has twice as many strings as a regular guitar. So that’s your math for the night.” Educational!

Editor’s picks

The 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term.

On her last tour, she took the stage to Tom Petty ‘s “American Girl”; this time it was Lenny Kravitz’s version of “American Woman,” a neat contrast. Right before she went on, her mom was escorted down the aisle near my section, causing a major fan commotion. (I haven’t seen so much love for a rock parent since Springsteen brought his mama onstage for “Dancing in the Dark.”) But the coolest pre-show moment was seeing the crowd go ballistic for Icona Pop’s hipster-disco club hit “I Love It.” If you wondered how it would sound to hear several thousand tweens chant “You’re from the Seventies, but I’m a Nineties bitch,” now you know. Nineties bitches, consider yourselves warned.

Once the lights went out, the screaming never flagged, and neither did the star. Taylor came out belting “State of Grace” in the same kind of black hat the Edge wore on the Joshua Tree tour (which makes sense, since Bono also had a red guitar). For “Holy Ground” she banged the drum solo on a giant glowing cylinder (“She’s rocking out!” the little kid behind me informed her mom. “She’s rocking ooouuut !”) “Mean” began with a rustic interlude, just Tay plucking her banjo center stage, and Ed Sheeran held his own in “Everything Has Changed,” while “22” got a breakdance and a snippet of the “Paid in Full” beat until everyone felt so 22 it hurt.

But the best moment was the double-shot of “I Knew You Were Trouble” into “All Too Well.” She turned “Trouble” into a blast of razzle-dazzle choreography in fancy-dress masquerade-ball mode. Then she sat alone to play “All Too Well,” her most majestic ballad, just a girl and her piano and several thousand other girls singing along. It was the highlight of a show that was nothing but highlights.

Seeing Taylor onstage now is just like seeing Morrissey in 1992 – that same level of total commitment, total fan fervor, total connection between audience and performer. I’ve compared Taylor to Morrissey many times, but no other performer really hits that same pitch of happy/free/confused/lonely hormonal anguish with so much wit and empathy. Moz sang “the sun shines out of our behinds,” Tay sings “people throw rocks at things that shine,” but they’re coming from the same place. (People said lovin’ you was red, and they were half right.) They share the conviction that their moods are the universe and expressing them is the reason the universe exists. This is a useful conviction for a singer to have, even if it’s more dangerous for the rest of us. But Taylor wears it like a true arena-rock goddess at an amazing peak.

Red Grand Pianos – Fifty Shades of Red

Luxury Pianos Inc. Piano 101 0

Red is a color of passion, love, power and, of course, Holidays! For millennia this strong color has been regarded as an important signifier of personages of utmost importance, gestures of tremendous scope and romances that change the course of history. Red is omnipresent in all things Royal since the dawn of our civilization. It is remarkable, therefore that the red grand piano has not received more attention. But worry not – this omission is remedied right now as Lucid Pianos has embarked on the mission to give a red piano the spotlight it deserves. Many tonalities of shades of red provide a creative opportunity for designers at Lucid Pianos and Bluthner to build unique and unexpected red pianos that will surprise and delight the devotees of this eternal color. As most of our pianos these are limited editions and can be customized with various trim colors and textures such as gold, rose gold, silver, chrome and matte finishes etc.

If you are shopping for a different kind of piano than a traditional ebony – red piano may be a great choice. While daring and bright red is a classic color. Think Ferrari. There is something simple and minimal about this strong hue. Culturally we are already living with admiration for the red classics in our lives: sports cars, Marylin Monroe’s lips and all things Christmas! So while a bright colored piano may at first appear unorthodox it is in reality a timeless classic by the very virtue of being red. Red is also associated with many a humanitarian causes from Red Cross to (Red) product campaign to fight against AIDS. So acquiring a red piano not only makes a powerful design statement but also sends a strong massage that is innately understood by our collective consciousness as a fabulous choice.

In this article we offer to you a number of unique grand pianos in different shades of red.

Lucid Elegance in Fire Engine Red

Our flagship semi-transparent grand piano is Lucid Elegance and here it takes on a bold hue for its veneered body – a powerful Fire Engine Red.
