Elton John Performs Sixty Years On with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in Sydney
Venue: Sydney Entertainment Centre
Location: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Date: December 14, 1986
In December 1986, during a significant point in Elton John's illustrious career, he performed "Sixty Years On" at the Sydney Entertainment Centre with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. This live recording came shortly after the release of his album "Leather Jackets," which, although not as commercially successful as earlier works, showcased his evolving musical style. Interestingly, this period also marked Elton's continued efforts to embrace orchestral collaborations, further enriching his sound. The concert itself stands out not only for its grand orchestration but also for the emotional weight of the performance, as he reflected on his own career, making the experience all the more poignant for both him and the audience.
