Elton John

In October 1975, Elton John delivered a memorable performance of 'Bennie and the Jets' at Dodger Stadium, a point in his career characterized by both commercial success and artistic evolution. Just before this iconic live recording, he released the album 'Rock of the Westies' in 1975, which showcased his willingness to evolve beyond his previous hits and explore new musical territories, including rock and funk influences. This concert came on the heels of a staggering series of hits; by this time, Elton's groundbreaking album 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' had already solidified his status as a superstar. Interestingly, this performance was part of a grand spectacle, featuring an extravagant stage design and a memorable if somewhat chaotic atmosphere involving fans and media frenzy, a testament to the incredible popularity he enjoyed during this exhilarating period.
