Elton John

In November 2007, Elton John delivered a stunning solo performance in Canberra, Australia, showcasing his enduring musical prowess. Leading up to this memorable gig, he had just released the album 'The Captain & the Kid' earlier that year, which was a sequel of sorts to his 1975 classic 'Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy.' This live recording highlights not just his musical skills but also the emotional depth he brings to his songs, with 'Sacrifice' being a poignant example. Interestingly, his live shows during this period were notable for their intimate feel, showing off the raw power of his voice and the magic of his piano work. Elton's ability to connect with the audience remains one of his hallmarks, cementing his status as a beloved figure in music history.
