Elton John

On December 14, 1986, Elton John graced the stage at the Sydney Entertainment Centre for a mesmerizing live performance alongside the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. This concert came shortly after the release of his album 'Leather Jackets' in late 1986, which showcased a more rock-oriented sound but didn't fare as well critically as his earlier masterpieces. Interestingly, this era marked a pivotal moment in Elton’s career as he began to experiment with different musical styles, moving away from the classic ballads that initially defined him. The live rendition of 'The Greatest Discovery' not only highlights his uniqueness as a performer but also draws attention to his ability to adapt and grow musically. With an orchestra backing him, the song's depth and emotion flourished, reminding fans of his undeniable talent.
