Notes:
This is a great show with an orchestra and choir, that was broadcast on Bravo in 2004. I have transferred this from my first generation tape made at the time of broadcast, and created menus. This show has been on DIME before (although not my version), but it has been several years since it was last available here. An interesting contrast to the 1972 Royal Philharmonic Orchestra show I recently uploaded. Both are excellent, just 32 years apart.

Despite being quite far from stage and main PA in this enormo-dome the audio quality is not too bad save for some minorly intrusive idiots who talked every so often.
Once on my PC I put the raw file through Adobe Audition.
I then tracked using Audacity before converting to FLAC using TLH.
No fade out between CD 1 and CD 2 but I tracked so that the suggested split is not obtrusive.

Notes:
This show has been available as a bootleg, under many different titles with different songlists and degrees of quality, for several years. I don't see that any of them have ever been on Dime, so I am posting. This is the original, full length show. The quality is A+, and is good enough to be a top quality official release. This show includes songs from the then new "The One" CD, as well as covers of The Stones and Queen. In my opinion, the real treats are the rarely played "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy", "Empty Garden", and "Come Down in Time". It is also noteworthy that Elton did not play his trademark Grand Piano during these years, and instead played electronic keyboards. This is a great document of Elton's renewed spirit after his troubles in the late '80's and early '90's.

This is one hour of a show performed May 12, 1976 in London, and includes the best document of the "Rock of the Westies" band that I have seen (other than the deluxe re-issue of "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy". This was an excellent band, with too short of a lifespan. Caleb Quaye really added some "rock" to the band (check out his solo on "Hercules"). IF ANYONE HAS A COMPLETE VERSION OF EITHER THE AUDIO OR VIDEO OF THIS SHOW, PLEASE POST (or contact me)! Finally, the first minute and a half are black, with sound. The picture will come in right after "Grow Some Funk of Your Own" begins.I hope you enjoy this rarity.

** Officially released track has been removed and can be found on the Elton John box set titled "To Be Continued..."
Elton John did not perform many shows in 1977, but among the ones that he did, were 6 stripped down "solo" performances at the Rainbow Theatre during the first week of May. The exact details of this recording are a little hard to pinpoint online, due to the fact that there are several different dates listed; depending on what site you go to. I have seen it listed as May 2nd and May 13th, but according to a few pretty accurate Elton tour schedules that I came across, he did not play at all on the 13th. Many of what seem to be the most creditable sources that I found, state that this recording is from May 7th, 1977...which would make it the last night of the Rainbow Theatre run.
The show is ballad heavy, but pretty amazing considering that the entire performance is just Elton and his piano; with Ray Cooper accompanying him with percussion on several tracks. The sound quality is great; some very minor hiss and the occasional minor "pop" here and there...but overall superb.

I have seen it listed as May 2nd and May 13th, but according to a few pretty accurate Elton tour schedules that I came across, he did not play at all on the 13th. Many of what seem to be the most creditable sources that I found, state that this recording is from May 7th, 1977...which would make it the last night of the Rainbow Theatre run.
The show is ballad heavy, but pretty amazing considering that the entire performance is just Elton and his piano; with Ray Cooper accompanying him with percussion on several tracks. The sound quality is great; some very minor hiss and the occasional minor "pop" here and there...but overall superb.

TT 140:49Nice one from the "Too Low For Zero" tour and a full radio broadcast from Sydney. A kind of Greatest Hits from Elton´s material from the 70´s and 80´s. Soundwise this is very good although not pristine, given that this is an almost 30 years old recording.
