Elton John

In October 2000, when Elton John performed "Crocodile Rock" live at Madison Square Garden, he was well-established as a prominent figure in the music industry, with a career spanning several decades. Prior to this performance, he had released his album "The One" in 1992, which marked a commercial resurgence for him in the 1990s. At that time, Elton was enjoying a period of renewed success with a series of popular albums and hits, including the soundtrack for "The Lion King." Interestingly, "Crocodile Rock," originally released in 1972 on the album "Don’t Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player," was notable as it became his first single to reach #1 in the US, solidifying his status. By 2000, Elton was not only performing classic hits but also engaging with a new generation of fans, underlining both his lasting appeal and adaptability in the evolving music scene.
