Elton John

In 1977, Elton John was riding high on a wave of success, and his live performance at the Wembley Empire Pool on November 3rd is a testament to that. Just before this concert, he released the album 'Blue Moves,' which showcased a more introspective side of his artistry, diving deep into themes of love and loss. Notably, this concert was part of what he dubbed his 'Retirement' tour, even though he wouldn’t slow down for long! The energy he brought to 'Meal Ticket' is electric, and it’s fascinating to think about the mix of excitement and melancholy permeating this event—he was at the peak of his powers but also contemplating a shift in his career. This mixture of the celebratory and the reflective makes this performance a defining moment in Elton's storied journey.
