Elton John

In October 2000, when Elton John performed "Candle in the Wind" at Madison Square Garden, he was experiencing a significant resurgence in his career. This performance took place shortly after the release of his album "The One," which came out in 1992 and marked a return to contemporary pop music for the artist. The live recording of "Candle in the Wind" held particular poignancy, as it was also a tribute to Princess Diana following her passing in 1997; the studio version of this song became one of the best-selling singles of all time. By 2000, Elton had established himself not only as a musical icon but also as a formidable live performer. His concerts during this period were marked by emotional intensity and a deep connection to his audience, reflecting the personal losses and triumphs that characterized his life and career.
