Elton John - 1984-03-25 - Sydney, Australia (FM)

Nine years ago today, on March 25, 2007, my wife and I, along with my sister and her husband, were fortunate enough to attend an historic night in rock history. Elton John played Madison Square Garden that night in celebration of his 60th birthday! It was also Elton's 60th performance at the "World's Greatest Arena", the most by any single artist. (For a list of all 60, go here). The night included an introduction by Bill Clinton, appearances by Whoppi Goldberg, Robin Williams and Bernie Taupin, and the raising of a banner to the Garden's rafters commemorating the show. Most importantly, it featured Elton in fine form, belting our 3 hours of music, from his earliest songs to his biggest hits. His set included a great version of Sad Songs, which made the rounds as a YouTube video. The 4 of us actually appeared in the video for a few seconds, when the cameras panned the audience. So, when we bought the official DVD of the show, we were hoping our moment of fame would be immortalized forever. As luck would have it, they used a different camera angle for the DVD version of the song, so we are no where to be found. Such is life. In any event, I can't post the show here since it has been officially released. Instead, in keeping with our 1980s theme this month, we'll go back 32 years ago today, to Elton's 37th birthday with this FM broadcast from March 25, 1984 in Australia! Enjoy!
