I saw EJ on this 74 tour....I remember it like yesterday. When that intro music started for Funeral For A Friend, the auditorium was dark, and smoke was swirling around the stage (not all of it generated by a smoke machine 😂) and then all of the sudden a pale blue light shone on the piano and there sat EJ in that white outfit with the feathers on the shoulders, that image will be forever burned in my brain. The man is legend.

I was at this concert with my beautiful girlfriend Sue, it was a memory I'll never forget, I took pictures but unfortunately they're terrible, you can just barely see the stage, I definitely needed a better camera. I also saw Elton at the Seattle Center Coliseum in 1975 and 1976. Elton was at the top of his game, his voice was incredible, the entire concert was amazing!

[oriolesandravens]

I seriously wish he would have filmed his concerts. Pick the best two from each tour and release it as a package .

I just listened to this concert in it's entirety.... The sound quality is somewhere between a soundboard and and an audience recording. Amazing show! Elton John's vocals are just superb! He definitely is having a good time and enjoying himself. The band is smoking hot! Nigel Olsson's drum fills are fantastic. Davey Johnstone's guitar riffs and fills are punctuating! AMAZING!

[paolovincent]

Awesome ! we need more "West of the Rockies" Tour.... anybody

[michaelturner]

Davey, Dee and Nigel. Oh some bloke who called himself We love you Reg!

[seattlebeard]
