Excellent venue. The Storys - Brilliant. Elton's performance was amazing, a total showman.

Simon B from Bath
Brilliant concert .Elton and his band were excellent.True musicians who excel live. Only criticism of venue was the toilet provisions were totally inadequate for the number of people.

Sarah
Fantastic concert. I loved The Storys and I'm sure we'll be hearing a lot more of them. Elton was great as always but it was a shame we missed his first few songs because of the ridiculously long queues for the loos!

Terry Beale
Excellent entertainment, well done Sir Elton and Somerset County Cricket. More of the same please!!

Jackie, Chris, Gary & Caroline
Absolutely fantastic!!!! We were sat in block A5, row V seats 21-24 and what great seats they were too (on the aisle). As we were so close to the front we were able to go right up to the stage and dance and could practically touch Elton John as he walked across the stage. The atmosphere was awesome. I can't believe how good he sounded. The support act 'The Storys' were brilliant, and good looking too!! A truely memorable day - the day Elton came to little old Taunton!!

Kim Drysdale
great concert, only criticism was that the non teired seating was very limited, we could not see stage, also tent in the middle did restrict viewing of screens and stage. great night though. 4pm may have been a bit early to open gates as there was loads of people who were drunk!!!

Emma Bruce
I travelled all the way from Co Durham to see Elton in Taunton - What a fantastic show!! I am a huge fan and managed to have a front row seat and also got a picture disc signed! Thank you Elton for a fabulous show in a fabulous setting! Emma Bruce, Co Durham

Jim Forrester
Elton, That was a sheer class act. Mr Entertainment. 13 minutes for Rocket Man - that was one hell of a wow!

incredible concert what a man!!!!! shame about the hooray henries sat in the front who decided to take their seats mid-wat throughthe first song -ignoring the Stories set completely cos they couldn't force themselves away from the bar in time-very selfish I feel but amazing concert all the same

Elton and the band were great. Genuinely looked as though he enjoyed being here. Storys were totally fogettable. Somerset's attempt at singing Crocodile Rock pathetic, but got better later.

Excellant entertainment. His performance belies his age and the rendition of " Rocket Man " was so special it would be worth getting the concert soundtrack for this alone.

Great Concert, apart from being in front of some people that didn't know when to stop drinking, and thought their singing voices were better than they actually were. Elton, Don't leave it so long between Concerts!
