Elton John is saying his last goodbyes to the New York area this weekend with his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour.After beginning way back in September 2018, the swan-song trek — from the man who gave us “Your Song” with his first hit 52 years ago — pulled up his piano to MetLife Stadium on Saturday night for the first of his two final local shows.And from the moment he launched the show by striking the unmistakable chords of his 1973 classic “Bennie and the Jets,” the 75-year-old music legend had the crowd rocking instead of fighting on this Saturday night.Sparkling from the outset, the singer wore a glittery black-and-white ensemble that, despite the pink-and-green flowers adorning his tailcoat, was relatively understated by the young Elton’s standards. John was awfully robust of voice and vigorous of fingers for a man who is retiring from the road.Perhaps it helped that John had five days of rest since his last concert on this stadium tour, which continues at MetLife on Sunday night.
