- Elton John live in Earls Court, London on the 13th of May 1993. I fell in love with this gig and it's probably my favorite from this period. It's in a great quality, but not so great of a soundboard recording, however, it doens't matter at all! The concert contains a great setlist with cover songs of Queen (The Show Must Go On) and The Rolling Stones (Jumping Jack Flash). Furthermore it contains some rarely performed songs like Come Down In Time, played with the band which is very unusual, Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy, and The Last Song. There's also some really great versions of the songs. The very funky intro to Philadelphia Freedom, fantastic version of Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters part 2, great intro to Bennie And The Jets, and a fantastic duet between Elton and the choir during Sad Songs (Say So Much) where we also get to hear some of the lowest tones Elton can sing.
Elton is in pretty good vocal shape at this gig and it is the last year where Elton would play the Roland RD-1000 before switching over to the Yamaga disklavier which he still uses.
-Enjoy!
P.S. The picture is actually from 1992 during rehearsals for the the tribute concert to Freddie Murcury!
Si la música fuera una construcción esto sería una catedral .
The 1988 short tour to test his voice (Reg Strikes Back album), the 1989 tour (Sleeping with the Past album) and the 1992-1993 tour with (The One album) are my favorite tours of his.
The voice OMG
Amazing piano playing on this
Gênio
Sounds like they used David Hentschel's outstanding original album synthesizer introduction to Funeral. Always wondered why Elton didn't feel it proper to play this on piano at his solo concerts. Thoughts?
Purely a guess but I think it's for two reasons. 1. So it sounds closer to the record due to all the layers required. 2. He likes to walk out on stage after the synth part has been playing for a minute or so.
They started doing it live in 1995, you can see Gus Dudgeon doing it in Rio 1995 video
