Elton John - 1998-01-23 - Nashville, TN (SBD)

1990s - 5: On September 27, 1997, Elton John released the album The Big Picture, his 26th studio album at that point in his career. The album was dedicated to Elton John’s friend, popular fashion designer Gianni Versace, who was murdered a few months before the album's release. The album did well commercially, reaching #9 in the US on the Billboard charts and climbing all the way to #3 in the UK. Despite that success, Elton’s long time friend and lyricist Bernie Taupin, considered this disc his least favorite of all their collaborations. Within days of the album’s launch, Elton took to the road in support of the disc. The Big Picture tour began on October 8, 1997 in Atlanta and ran all the way through the end of 1998, with a few brief interruptions in March, May and June so Elton could perform with Bill Joel as part of their Face to Face tour. This  soundboard recording captures Elton in Nashville on January 23, 1998, 2 dozen years ago today, near the end of the first leg of the tour. Unfortunately, the recording is missing the last 3 songs of the encore.
