Elton’s second concert at London’s Royal Festival Hall was an chance for him and his band to perform their newly-recorded album Honky Château in its entirety. This live debut of ‘Rocket Man’ two months before its release as the album’s first single is striking in its freshness and its ability to nearly replicate the studio arrangement on stage. The line-up of Davey (guitar), Dee Murray (bass) and Nigel Olsson (drums) immediately established itself as the “classic” Elton band, solidifying Elton’s studio and stage presence through his most prolific period.

I remember it as if it was 47 years ago, when I was 15. From memory it didn't go to #1, but then memories fade. That other famous group was at #1 T. Rex, one of theirs.
1972 – The year I graduated from San Jose State University with a BSBA and working as a FE for a Lockheed subcontractor.

Il mozart del rock/country/blues… Non c'è storia… Lui ha saputo arrangiare, portare la musica classica in ogni suo brano con eleganza e pochissima prepotenza… È esattamente ciò che avrei voluto essere a livello musicale…. I love ♥️
