Tour De Force is the pairing of two of Australia’s most talented musicians to replicate the phenomenon
that is Elton John and Billy Joel together on the one stage.The original “Tour De Force” began in 1994 and still continues
on to this day with no sign of its popularity waning as Sir Elton John and Billy Joel continue to tour the world together, and in their own separate shows.
Elton Jack (Lance Strauss) and BigShot (Jimmy Mann) are undoubtedly this countries finest exponents of
Elton John and Billy Joel as they replicate the sound that is synonymous with both artists. Musically the show has no peer as Lance Strauss and Jimmy Mann are backed by an accomplished band dedicated to
providing the Elton John and Billy Joel sound including a sax/flute player.
The show starts with both artists on stage in intimate mode playing the classics Your Song & Just The
Way You Are” before the band joins them and they launch into hits like My Life, Movin Out, I’m Still Standing, Don’t Let the Sun go down on Me, & all the major hits!
The show finishes how it began with just the two artists and two pianos playing Candle In The Wind & Piano Man. The dynamics of the show rise and fall between the power rock songs and beautiful ballads that are recognised the world over. It truly is a captivating concert experience.
