Elton John
Elton John Live Performance of Bennie and the Jets in Saratoga
In the summer of 1986, Elton John was experiencing a remarkable resurgence in his career, making this Saratoga performance quite special. Just a couple of years before, he released 'Ice on Fire,' which included hits like 'Nikita.' Interestingly, this era marks a time when Elton was actively revitalizing his sound and appealing to a new generation of fans. By the time he hit the stage in Saratoga, he was already a celebrated icon, known not just for his music but also for his extravagant performances. It's fascinating how his unique blend of rock and pop, punctuated by those iconic sunglasses and flamboyant outfits, made every concert an event. This show captures his energy brilliantly, and it's a reminder of how he continually adapted his artistry while staying true to his roots.
