Elton John Live Performing Sleeping With The Past - Mansfield Concert
In 1989, Elton John was riding a wave of renewed popularity, much of which can be attributed to his album "Sleeping with the Past," released just a few months prior in June. This album marked a significant moment in his career, as it blended his signature pop style with elements of gospel and soul, showcasing a fresh, mature sound that resonated well with fans. Notably, the live recording from the Great Woods Center for the Performing Arts captures the energy of this era, highlighting hits from the new album like "Sacrifice." Interestingly, Elton John was at a time when he was embracing both personal and professional renewal, following a challenging period in the mid-'80s. The Mansfield concert, part of the "Sleeping with the Past" tour, perfectly reflects this vibrant resurgence and how he masterfully connected with his audience.
