But usual gripes to one side there's no getting away from the fact that there's something special about live music that just can't be captured in a sterile overdubbed auto-tuned precision-controlled knob-twiddling studio environment [and yes there's loads of stuff that can be done to "improve" a live recording today, some of which was done when this was re-released, but you couldn't do much when Elton was a young man and this gig was recorded] and that's what makes this album exciting.With only the eponymous "Elton John", "Tumbleweed Connection" and the "Friends" soundtrack albums behind him EJ was the new kid on the block and taking the US by storm (the earlier "Empty Sky" hadn't yet been released in America) when he and his bandmates Dee Murray (bass) and Nigel Olsson (drums) recorded a live radio broadcast on 17 November 1970 in front of around 100 or so people. Although the original set of 13 songs ran for 80 minutes my CD reissue has only seven tracks, all from the second half of the show but excludes the encore, "My Father's Gun" [a vinyl version with the full set is available].The album kicks off with the up-tempo rocking and rolling "Bad Side of the Moon" before Tumbleweed Connection's more thoughtful "Amoreena" [note this was omitted from the original album and CD releases] but that's followed by a near six-minute piano-thumping "Take Me to the Pilot" after which I'm left feeling exhausted! Things slow down a little for "Sixty Years On", but don't be fooled as the rhythm section gradually build over its seven minutes to a thunderous rolling climax. Sadly things then get a little less serious with a playful cover of Jagger and Richards' "Honky Tonk Women", clearly appreciated more by the audience than by me and a reminder of why I don't generally like live albums, before a rocking and reeling "Can I Put You On" from the "Friends" soundtrack gets us back on course.But it's with the seventh and closing track, an extended jam of "Burn Down the Mission" with Arthur Crudup's "My Baby Left Me" and Lennon & McCartney's "Get Back", that the trio really gets to cut loose and show what they're made of and it's this that makes this live recording special, it might be eighteen minutes long but for me it's way way too short!And that's it. It may only be seven tracks and it may suffer from many of the usual live album faults, and without a guitarist it may sound a little thin in places, but it's worth buying just for that final track. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Not too bad *by F***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 22 February 2022* I bought this for too only 2 songs which are amoreena and take me to the pilot which I still enjoy listening to even now as for the rest they are mediocre songs in my opinion but I was pleasently surprised by the fact this is a live album which is why it give it 3 stars as I was only going to give 2 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT SOUND *by S***B on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 2 March 2020* I have the original vinyl version purchased in the early 70's- I was keen to add the CD to my collection. Some of the material is a bit mediocre but the performance is lively and full of energy. This is an important album as its the only (legal) recording of an early EJ live performance. And what a recording! A terrific remastering has produced an amazingly lifelike sound. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/52592692-elton-john-17-11-70](https://www.desertcart.es/products/52592692-elton-john-17-11-70) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
