Elton John Live Performance of Nikita and Candle In The Wind in Saskatoon
In May 2011, Elton John delivered an unforgettable performance at the Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon, Canada, featuring the heartfelt classics "Nikita" and "Candle In The Wind." Leading up to this live recording, Elton had just released his 2010 album, "The Union," a poignant collaboration with Leon Russell. This album marked a significant moment in his career, as it was the first studio release in the 1990s and included an array of both new tunes and old favorites. Interestingly, this live set captured the magic of Elton's long-standing connection with fans, showcasing the emotional depth and storytelling unique to his music. It’s fascinating how songs like "Candle In The Wind," originally penned for Princess Diana, evoke such powerful memories and feelings, resonating deeply with audiences even years later. The blend of nostalgia and fresh creativity shines brightly during this remarkable evening.
