Elton John/London, UK 1993

In 1993, Elton John overcame his addiction to make a huge hit with “THE ONE,” and continued to have a tremendous presence in the scene in the 1990s. Introducing the finest soundboard album that represents such an era. What is contained in this work is “May 13, 1993 London Performance”. This is a stereo soundboard recording recorded at the traditional venue “Earl’s Court Exhibition Center”. Elton announced his comeback to the whole world with “THE ONE” and embarked on a large-scale world tour. The footage is also included in the official video “LIVE IN BARCELONA,” so be sure to check it out in the schedule as well. 1992 / May 26th – June 22nd: Europe #1a (19 performances)《“THE ONE” released on June 22nd》 / June 26th – July 21st: Europe #1b (18 performances)← *LIVE IN BARCELONA August 11th – November 22nd: North America #1/South America (50 performances) 1993 February 13th – March 24th: Oceania/Asia (24 performances) April 9th ​​- May 8th: North America #2 (18 performances) ・May 12th – June 20th: Europe #2/Middle East (22 performances) ←★Here★《“DUETS” released on November 22nd》 This is 1992/ Elton John in 1993. The scale of over 150 performances was one of the best in their career, and of course it was the biggest tour in the 90s. Among them, “LIVE IN BARCELONA” was filmed in “Europe #1” before and after the album was released, but after that they also traveled around North America, South America, Oceania, and Asia. The Earl’s Court performance of this work was the second concert of “Europe #2”, which is the second tour of Europe. This work recorded at the triumphant return performance of such a revival tour is the finest stereo sound board. Of course, even though it is called a sound board, there are many different personalities, but this work is a highly complete type that can be called semi-official. The balance and stereo feel are precisely arranged, and the loud cheers between songs are mixed properly. Although there is a slight roughness that resembles a live broadcast, this is within the range of official work standards, not boot standards. If the deluxe edition of “THE ONE” is realized, I would like this work to be included as a bonus disc… no, it should be included. It is a superb live album of such a dimension. What is depicted with such semi-official sound is a show so different that it is hard to believe that it is the same “THE ONE TOUR” as the official video “LIVE IN BARCELONA”. Let’s organize the set while comparing it with the official masterpiece video. 70’s Classics (11 songs) – Take Me To The Pilot (★) / Your Song – Elton John 3: Come Down in Time (★) – Honky Chateau: Rocket Man (I Think It’s Going to Be a Long, Long Time) (★) ・Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding/Bennie And The Jets (★)/Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting/Candle in the Wind (★)・Caribbean: Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me・Captain Fantastic: Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy (★)・Blue Portrait: Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word 80’s and others (6 songs)・Jump Up : Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny) (★) Breaking Hearts: Sad Songs (Say So Much) Sleeping with the Past: Sacrifice The One: Simple Life/The One/The Last Song Cover: The Show Must Go On (QUEEN) / Jumpin’ Jack Flash (★: THE ROLLING STONES) *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard in the official video “LIVE IN BARCELONA”. …and it looks like this. The balance is 2/3 classics and 1/3 new repertoire. In this work, 19 songs will be performed, but 7 of them have been replaced from “LIVE IN BARCELONA”. Not only the number of songs, but also the content is special, and I’m happy with selections such as “Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy”, which is back for the first time in 11 years, “Come Down in Time” and “Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)”. “The Show Must Go On,” which he started singing at Freddie’s memorial concert, can be heard on “LIVE IN BARCELONA,” but in this work, he even performs the Stones’ cover “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” which is his first song in 20 years. It is being done. Elton John achieved a new heyday in the 90s. This is a masterpiece of a live album where you can enjoy the majestic stage with the finest stereo soundboard. This is a quasi-official masterpiece that you’ll want to collect alongside “THE ONE” and “LIVE IN BARCELONA.” Packed with great sound, great performances, and great masterpieces, this is a musical masterpiece that will move anyone’s heart.
