Elton John

In November 1986, when Elton John delivered the stunning live performance of 'Tonight' in Melbourne, he had recently released the album 'Leather Jackets' earlier that year. While it didn't achieve the commercial success of his earlier work, it marked an interesting phase in Elton's evolution, experimenting with a rock sound and working with a mix of different styles. This live recording is particularly memorable due to the accompaniment of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, which elevated the emotional depth of the performance. Fun fact: Elton's artistic journey during this period was marked by personal and professional challenges, yet he continued to captivate audiences worldwide with his vibrant stage presence and unforgettable melodies, proving his enduring talent and resilience.
