Responding to overwhelming demand, the resort accelerated the number of shows presented each year, completing the original commitment in only 18 months. During this time Caesars Palace extended the agreement for an additional 166 shows for a final engagement total of 241. This evening Elton opened with the song "Bennie and the Jets" and said to the audience, "Tonight is the last performance at Caesars Palace of "The Red Piano" after five years of great fun, and really happy memories." Elton continued by saying, "The problem is now who you gonna get to fill in our shows? Now Celine's gone, and I'm gone. You've got Bette Midler and Cher it'll be the Village People next."
