Elton John

In 1999, Elton John was riding high on a wave of renewed popularity, thanks to his involvement in the '80s and '90s music scene, and the phenomenal success of his soundtrack for Disney's 'The Lion King.' Just before this live concert in Pensacola, he had released 'The Big Picture' in 1997, which included hits like 'Something About the Way You Look Tonight.' During this performance, he showcased a mix of his classic hits and deeper cuts, including the beautiful 'Friends' and 'Come Down In Time.' It’s interesting to note that this concert represents a phase where Elton embraced a more intimate, solo performance style, allowing his musical prowess and emotional depth to shine through without the full band. Fans often regard this era as one of his most reflective and artistically satisfying.
