Elton John - 2009-10-15 - Dusseldorf, Germany (SBD)

In February 2004, Elton John took up residence at the Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas for a nightly show entitled The Red Piano. Elton originally was slated to perform 25 shows a year at Caesar’s over 3 years, but wound up doing over 40 shows annually from 2004 through 2008, before ending the run with around 20 Las Vegas performances in 2009. The set list each night was the same, a run of 15 of Elton’s greatest hits such as Your Song, Bennie and The Jets, Rocket Man and Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting. The Red Piano proved so successful in Las Vegas, that Elton took the show to Europe for short runs in both 2008 and 2009. This soundboard recording captures Elton performing a slightly expanded Red Piano set in Dusseldorf on October 15, 2009, just 3 years ago today.

Sting - 1990-10-13 - Santiago, Chile (FM)

Welcome to part 2 of our Back to Back installment of Sting shows in South America in 1990. After playing the first Amnesty International show in Uruguay on October 10, Sting performed a second concert on behalf of that organization in Chile on October 13, 1990, 22 years ago today. Just months prior to this show, the 17 year long dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet had been replaced by civilian rule. Pinochet's regime had been characterized by systematic suppression of political parties and the persecution of thousands of dissidents. In fact, the very stadium where Sting performed had once been used as detention camp by the Pinochet government. The concert transformed the venue into place of hope for a future free of oppression. Download this one to complete your set of Sting performances, then visit Amnesty International’s website to see how you can contribute to their efforts to “stand up for human rights”.

Eric Clapton - 1990-10-03 - Montevideo, Uruguay (SBD)

In late 1989, Eric Clapton released Journeyman, his 11th solo album and first disc of new material since August in 1986. The album was also Eric’s first since kicking his addiction to alcohol. The disc rose to number 16 on the billboard album charts, and produced 2 singles, Pretending and Bad Love, which made Billboard’s Top 100 and also climbed to #1 on their mainstream rock chart. Bad Love also garnered Clapton a Grammy for best male Rock Vocal Performance. Journeyman also included such notable tracks as Running On Faith, No Alibis and Before You Accuse Me. Rolling Stone gave the album a 4 star review, calling it his most satisfying disc since 461 Ocean Boulevard. The magazine also noted that the title of the album reflected Clapton’s continued preference to down play his guitar god image, preferring to consider himself a journeyman, but a damn fine one who always finds work! In keeping with the album’s title, EC spent much of 1990 on the road visiting 5 continents.  This soundboard recording captures EC on October 3, 1990, 22 years ago today in Uruguay.

Bruce Springsteen - 2009-10-02 - East Rutherford, NJ (SBD)

When Bruce Springsteen brought his Working On A Dream tour to Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ for 4 shows in October 2009, fans felt a mixture of excitement and sadness. Of course any concert on Bruce’s home turf raised the emotional stakes, but these shows had special meaning for his audience. On the one hand, each show would feature an entire album played in its entirety, a rare and treat. On the other hand, the 5 concerts would be the last that Springsteen would play in Giants Stadium, as the building would be demolished in 2010 to make way for Met Life Stadium. Springsteen played 25 shows at Giants Stadium between 1985 and 2009, more than any other artist, including a 10 night run in July and August 2003. His October 9 show on this stand would be the last concert ever played in the venue. Springsteen wrote a new song to commemorate the venue, entitled Wrecking Ball. Wrecking Ball would open all 5 shows on this run, and would go on to become the title track for Bruce’s 2012 album release. This soundboard recording captures Bruce on October 2, 2009, 3 years ago today, on night 1 at Giants Stadium, and features Darkness of The Edge of Town, only the 2nd time the album had been played live in it entirety. Download this one now, then come back tomorrow for the October 3 show, as we present our first installment of our October “Back To Back” Theme.
