Have been in & out of here for the past week. We've been visiting our kids in Clover, S.C. since Tuesday. We stopped first to see our youngest grandson at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, NC and then came on here to Clover on Tuesday morning. Of course we did come to see the kids...but...main reason we're here is, last Christmas the kids gave us tickets to see Elton John's concert in Charlotte, NC! We saw the concert on Wednesday night. Absolutely Amazing! 2 hours and 45 minutes of solid music! 25 songs. Unbelievable! It was held at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte and it was completely sold out...floor to ceiling. We had super seats, 2nd level, 2nd row, just to the right of the stage. View was fantastic. My grandson showed me how to take videos with my phone and, if I do say so myself, they turned out super! Took 12 of them in fact. Here's the set list of the concert. Now it is on home tomorrow and the freezing weather. But this week was awesome!

Judy, that's great that you had such a good time seeing Elton John..He is one of the few greats left from that era. Thank you for sharing this wonderful event… If I'm fortunate enough maybe I'll see Elton John someday hopefully.

So looking forward to it. Believe me you will LOVE it! If I can figure out how to get one or two of the videos linked on here I will for sure. I have them saved in my Amazon Pictures but don't think there is a way to do it from there since it is a Private Account. If anyone can tell me how or what to do let me know.
Home tomorrow night.

Do you have the videos on your computer too or just in the cloud? If you have them on your computer, what I do is upload them to my Google Photos account and then post links to them here. Every picture and video that I take are automatically uploaded to Google Photos as soon as my phone goes online.
Incidentally, my Google account is private too but I can post links without the recipients being able to access anything else without having to log in. This might apply to your Amazon Pictures account too.
I just checked. You can share any photos or videos from your Amazon Photos. Have a look and see how to post links.
Click on a photo in your Amazon Photos and when it opens click on 'Share' at the top of the pic. See my attachment

Thanks so much ! I can’t wait for our turn now. He has such a powerful voice for an ‘oldie’ just goes to prove age means nothing ! You're welcome! I agree on the "age thing". He is just one year younger than I am and part of the marvel of watching him was thinking that and also...how in the world can he do this? His concerts have been pretty much every other day since this tour began and that includes a day of travel. Amazing! |

Hey, the whole "videoing with my phone thing" was an instructional experience for me cause, as I said, I had to get instructions from my oldest grandson on how to take videos with my phone and then both my granddaughters showed me how to upload them from my phone to my Amazon Photos and then with your instructions on how to get them here Barney I can happily say, "mission accomplished"! Thanks. |

Thanks. Every day is a learning day! My only further comment would be that when you are taking videos, turn your phone on its side so that you get the same result as watching a movie on TV. i.e. widescreen.

Oh I did most of the time but about half way through the evening a lady in front of me kept jumping up and blocking my view so I had to turn it upright so I could at least get a picture. I did take several that are widescreen. Here's one of them;

That was the opening song...and my first attempt at recording a video. I was happy for sure.

Which couple are you and your wife Brian? Unfortunately, I was on duty that night so Jean was not with me. We very rarely dance these days because of Jean's health.
