This Week's Featured Concert at Wolfgang's Vault
Friday, August 31 2007 |
Elton John, Cleveland, OH, Music Hall, November 26, 1970
 This performance, recorded in Cleveland a few months after Elton's US debut at the Troubadour Club in Los Angeles (after Elton had done a series of shows at the Fillmore East and West, and a number of select dates on both coasts), is essentially the same show that he presented that amazing week at the Troubadour.
Featuring only himself on piano and vocals, Nigel Olsson on drums, and the late Dee Murray on bass (guitarist Davey Johnstone would join the band in 1972), Elton John blew away the audience with an energized performance of incredible musicianship, profound songwriting, and staggering showmanship. Not unlike the fiery mid-1950s performances of Jerry Lee Lewis and his band, Elton and company served up great song after great song throughout this set.
