SAN DIEGO — If Elton John is really going to retire at the end of his “Farewell Yellow Brick Road: The Final Tour,” he’s going out with a major league bang, not a halfhearted bunt.
He resoundingly proved this with his triumphant Wednesday night concert at San Diego’s Petco Park, where the generations-transcending superstar and his ace six-man band performed for a sold-out audience of 40,000 very enthusiastic fans.
“Tonight, we’ll have the best time you can possibly have,” he vowed after completing “Philadelphia Freedom,” his second selection of the night. Thankfully, it was not an empty promise.
