Elton John Live Band Introduction in Würzburg, Germany
In July 2012, Elton John performed at the Residenzplatz in Würzburg, Germany, during a tour that highlighted his enduring appeal and celebrated his impressive catalog. Before this live recording, he had released the album "The Diving Board" in 2013, showcasing a return to his roots with a more stripped-back piano-driven sound. This era of his career was marked by a reinvigoration in creativity, collaborating with lyricist Bernie Taupin once again on an impactful record. Interestingly, Elton was also heavily involved in charitable work during this period, using his platform to raise awareness for various causes. As he introduced his band that night, he not only demonstrated his incredible musicianship but also reflected on the rich history and legacy that accompanied his decades-long journey in music.
