Elton John

On May 9, 1982, Elton John performed live in Brussels, delivering an energetic rendition of 'Just Like Belgium,' a track that’s quite a rarity in his live repertoire—it's noted as the only time he performed this song live, which is particularly fitting given the venue’s location. By this point in his career, he had just released the album 'Jump Up!' in 1982, which featured hits like 'Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny).' This album, seen as a comeback of sorts after a few more subdued years, showcases Elton's shifting musical style and his penchant for collaboration with lyricist Bernie Taupin. The live performance captures the vitality of the ’80s music scene, exemplifying Torn's passionate playing alongside Elton's iconic showmanship, making this concert a memorable snapshot of a dynamic phase in his career.
