Elton John

Before this intimate live performance at Oslo Spektrum in 1998, Elton John had just released his album 'The Big Picture' in 1997, which included hits like 'Something About the Way You Look Tonight.' By this time in his career, Elton was not just a rock phenomenon; he had cemented his legacy with a string of chart-topping albums that showcased his piano-driven pop-rock sound. Interestingly, this period also highlights his evolving artistry as he became more focused on personal storytelling in his music. The live rendition of 'Skyline Pigeon' from the concert is a touching reminder of how deeply his songs resonate with audiences. It’s also a bit of a full circle moment; 'Skyline Pigeon' was originally released in 1969, but became more widely beloved as it was revisited later in his career, proving that some songs just get better with age.
