When I had my old channel 'formulaonemad', I used to get so many requests for different shows and through one reason or another, I never got round to uploading some of them (I still have requests from people now! Don't worry, I'll get round to them sooner or later!) I also never got around to uploading a show from 1992 which was something I always wanted to do but was hesitant to do as I don't know as much about this era like I do with the 1980's but who cares! This show is complete and in somewhat decent quality with some hiss throughout! Los Angeles 1992! Now, 1992 is the first full year for Elton touring since his trip to rehab in 1990 and there are some after effects from his previous years of indulgence with drugs on show throughout this whole year. The tempos in some songs are even faster than when he was on them but this is most likely because Elton was performing with his own natural energy which makes these shows extremely interesting to listen to! His voice has also become richer but he does growl notes more than in the earlier post-surgery years. Also, his band is made up of most of the people who have toured with him since 1988 but no Fred Mandel however to compensate, Charlie Morgan is back drumming like in 1990. Furthermore, the arrangements on all the songs have improved from how they sounded in late 1989/1990 with Elton now fresh again! This show is unique as we have a recorded version of Runaway Train featuring the awesome Eric Clapton guest starring on ...
