I watched Elton John's final U.S. concert from Dodger Stadium (some live on D+, but most of it the next day). His piano playing is still stellar, his voice (although an octave lower at least) is okay - better on some songs than others. But Sir Elton is definitely showing the physical effects of old age (he's 75) and years of abuse. When he does move around the stage now, he sort of waddles around like the Penguin from Batman.
His band is still unbelievable and they're mostly in their 70's as well. And the music is timeless, although I do think he's making the right decision to end the touring (at least here - I guess he'll do a few final shows next year in Europe).

If you want some holiday suggestions, the last page or so (depending on how you have your posts per page set up) of this thread has you covered.
If you go scrolling through earlier than that, I'd suggest going backwards (it was started many years ago before embedding was enabled and at the beginning was more of a discussion thread than just tons of embedded videos).
