Elton John Live Performance of Levon Dedicated to Bob Birch's Memory

Venue: Brisbane Entertainment Centre Location: Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Date: November 30, 2011

In this live performance of 'Levon' recorded on November 30, 2011, at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Elton John was in the midst of his 2012 Rocket Man Number Ones Tour. Prior to this concert, he had released 'The Union' in 2010, a collaboration with longtime friend Leon Russell that was both critically acclaimed and marked a significant return to form for Elton. The tour itself was a heartfelt tribute, particularly resonant as it was dedicated to the memory of Bob Birch, his late bass player, showcasing not only Elton's musical prowess but also the deep connections he fosters within his band. This concert captures Elton's raw emotion and the camaraderie shared with his musicians, emphasizing the personal and communal aspects of his performances.
