When my wife and I bought tickets for Elton John’s Madison Square Garden concert on September 23, 2005, 7 years ago today, we didn’t realize just how special a show it would be. Elton decided that his run at the Garden would be the site to celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Captain Fantastic and The Brown Dirt Cowboy album. And what a celebration it was. Elton opened by playing 8 tunes from the recently released Peachtree Road album. Then, he played 8 songs off the Captain Fantastic disc. Given that the very first concert I had ever seen was Elton John in 1976, when he toured in support of the Captain Fantastic album, this show was like coming full circle. Now for some performers, 16 songs would be enough for an entire concert. In Elton’s case, though, he was just getting started. He then launched what he called the Juke Box portion of the show, playing 18 of his classic hit tunes. It was a 3 ½ hour marathon performance that left the Garden rocking even after we headed for home. While this audience recording of that night doesn’t sound as crisp as what I normally like to post, and is missing 2 songs, the show was too good, too historic and too meaningful not to post. Download it and remember why Elton is called Captain Fantastic!

Excellent sound for audience recording, currently listening to Capt Fantastic. Many thanks for sharing, much appreciated.
I caught one of those shows at the garden with my wife to be and her friend. I think it was the 21th. we were sitting up in the 300 (the old green seats). Elton was really rocking and at a certain point I could no longer sit in my seat like the rest of the audience. I needed to get my groove on. so I dance my way all the way down to three rows above the floor, all the way up near the stage and just whirled...
would luv to find a copy of that show...
I'm sorry to bother you again, but all the links of mirrorcreator aren't working for this file. Could you please repost even these?
