Elton John

In 1977, Elton John was riding high on a wave of unprecedented success. Just before this iconic live recording of 'Shine On Through,' which took place at the Wembley Empire Pool during his so-called 'Retirement' concert on November 3, Elton released the album 'Blue Moves.' This record showcased a more introspective side of the artist, featuring themes of love and loss that mirrored his personal struggles. Interestingly, Elton's concert was filled with emotional depth, as he delivered powerful performances that resonated with the audience. Not to be overlooked, 'Blue Moves' also marked a pivotal shift in his musical direction, blending elements of rock, pop, and even a touch of orchestral arrangements—reflecting his growth and evolving artistry just at the peak of his career.
