Elton John - 2022-07-24 - East Rutherford, NJ (Ex-VG Aud)

2020s - #7:  In September 2018, Elton John lauched his final tour, aptly names Farewell Yellow Brick Road, a play on title of his #1 album and single from 1973. I saw Elton early on in that tour, in November 2018 at Madison Square Garden.  Due to the pandemic, the tour stretched over 5 years, encompassing more than 300 shows across 3 continents, before coming to an end on July 8, 2023 in Sweden. This excellent/very good (depending on the song) audience recordimg captures Elton's final show in the New York Metro area, on July 24, 2022, a year ago today, at Met Life Stadium. New York has been a 2nd home to Elton over the years, as evidenced by the fatc he played his 60th birthday concert at Madison Square Garden which also happened to be his 60th show at that venue.   For this concert in East Rutherford, Elton made a change to the standard set list, dropping the tune Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word.  In its place Elton Sang, Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters, a tune about New York, annoucing it would be the last time he ever performed the song live.
