Elton John
Elton John – Skyline Pigeon Live at the Playhouse Theatre HD Remastered
Venue: Edinburgh Playhouse
Location: Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom
Date: September 17, 1976
In 1976, Elton John was in a pivotal phase of his career, having recently released his album 'Blue Moves' just a year prior. This live performance of 'Skyline Pigeon' at the Edinburgh Playhouse showcases his evolution as an artist during a time when he was experimenting with more introspective themes in his music. Interestingly, 'Blue Moves' was his first album after parting ways with longtime collaborator Bernie Taupin for the majority of its songs, which adds a layer of complexity to his artistic journey. The concert itself captures the raw emotion of Elton's live shows, brimming with his signature flamboyance and heartfelt delivery. It’s a powerful reminder of why he remains an enduring icon in the world of music.
