Here is a n awesome. ELTON JOHN ticket stub from October 26th, 1975 at Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles. Still fairly early in his career but by now he had entered his peak. Is in NM- with no noticeable wear.. Imagine for a moment what it would be like if one of those was the first rock concert you ever went to.

Was, indeed, just that lucky. Hit up any rock fan and youll find that almost all of them still proudly wear their first concert like a badge of honor. As the veteran of hundreds of shows over the years, Im certainly no exception just fortunate enough to have initially plugged into a lifelong love of live music by attending one of rocks most historical concerts.

On that day, John performed the second of his back-to-back, career-defining sellout concerts at Dodger Stadium. Unless one actually lived through that time period, its almost impossible to imagine just how big a phenomenon John was in 1975. He was littering the rock landscape with hit after hit en route to delivering a couple No. His concerts, complete with outrageous costumes and stage antics, were already the stuff of legend. After opening sets by Emmylou Harris and the soon-to-be Eagles member Joe Walsh, John took the stage in grand fashion.

He opened the show with a soulful solo rendition of "Your Song, " with the opening piano notes preceding the rise of the curtain, and his piano starting at the back left of the stage and slowly moving to the front as the song progressed. After another solo number, "I Need You to Turn To, " he was joined onstage by his band, which had recently been revamped from his classic lineup.

He played a 10-song opening set that featured several album tracks before returning in a sequined Dodger uniform for a hit-laden second set that also heavily highlighted his No. 1 album from five months earlier.

Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. There were special appearances by tennis star Billie Jean King (she sang backing vocals for "Philadelphia Freedom") and Johns partner-in-rhyme, lyricist Bernie Taupin, and "Dont Let the Sun Go Down on Me" seemed perfectly timed with the sunset outside the stadium on that typically beautiful Southern California Sunday. John ended up playing 31 songs in a three-hour-plus performance that spoiled me for years, naively assuming, as I did, that every artist must play for a similar length of time on such a grand scale. Obviously, that wide-eyed 15-year-old still had a lot to learn in the way of concerts.

In the subsequent decades, Ive had the opportunity to interview a couple members of Johns core band and see him in concert seven additional times but somehow none quite compare with that afternoon at Dodger Stadium. Maybe its a first-time thing. Elton John Dodger Stadium Oct.
