Elton John - 1993-09-06 - Foxboro, MA (SBD) 

Elton John's only appearance at Farm Aid in 1990 is notable for more than just his support of America's family farmers. Elton, along with Farm Aid founder and Indiana native, John Mellencamp, was also a loyal supporter of Ryan White, an Indiana teenager who had contracted AIDs. In April 1990, Elton was in Indiana at Ryan's bedside, as the teenager's health had grown worse. He briefly left Ryan on April 7, 1990 to perform at Farm Aid, which just happened to be in Indiana that year. During his Farm Aid set, Elton dedicated Candle In The Wind to Ryan. Just a day, later, Ryan passed away at age 18.

This soundboard recording captures Sir Elton 3 years after his Farm Aid appearance, on September 6, 1993, 32 years ago today.  Elton was performing in support of another good cause as part of a benefit concert to preserve Walden Woods, the site of Henry David Thoreau's two-year study of philosophy and natural systems chronicled in his book, Walden.
