Elton John - 1973-04-13 - Bologna, Italy (VG Aud)

1970s - #5: In early 1973, Elton John launched a tour of Europe, right on the heels of releasing the album Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player, which would become his first UK #1 disc, and his 2nd consecutive #1 album in the US. This very good audience recording of Elton in Italy on April 13, 1973, 52 years ago today, is one of very few tapes from that that period of Elton's career.  While the sound quality is a bit below our normal standards, we had to post it for its historical significance.  The set list provides a hint of the heights of fame Sir Elton would soon hit, as it includes early versions of 2 classics from the soon to be released Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Love Lies Bleeding (without Funeral For A Friend), and Candle In The Wind.
