John Olsen,Jerry Ott,Mark Harden & Clarence Montano, all 18 yr from Sonora High La Habra. We went both days 25th &26th Oct '75. 40 ft from stage & center. Only $10. Red piano Vegas $325. I, John miss my buddies. 3 1/2 decades later I still know Jerry & Mark.Miss you guys.Seems not long ago.How time flies.I ,John was the 1st fan in from 1st base side entrance on the 25th. I ran down to feild & claimed a front & center spot for my two buddies not far behind.Seen EJ 16 times since. Now 52 at HD
Elton John at the pinnacle of his career. It was my first concert. No other show has come close to matching its intensity. He played for four freakin' hours. What an incredible performer. Thanks, Elton
I wonder what are those people in the audience doing nowadys, speacialy the bearded guy and the blnod chick, who dance like maniacs. BTW, Why are the Elton´s backing singers dressed in ESSO overalls? I always wanted to know it.
1975 was the best year for Elton John! He had 3#1 songs in one year; the #1 selling album of 1975 with Elton John's Greatest Hits, he was given a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, and to top it off, he rocked to 50,000 fans for each of his 2 sold out shows at LA's Dodger Stadium!
Poor quality - darn shame. I love that Dodger uniform - one of Elton's less outre outfits. Damn shame the sound is off and the picture fuzzy and grainy. If those two major things were not issues, then this would get a 5-star rating.
Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get a copy of the video this came from? I've been trying, no luck! When something is this rare I'm happy to see it at all no matter how poor the quality is.
Thanks for posting. This is considered one of his greatest performances! For a man who continues to give many great shows that's saying something. Is this available on DVD?
Actually, I believe it was just a few days before. But yeah, valiums and pool...not good. I've heard Elton talk about it in interviews. Tantrums and Tiaras is posted and I think he mentions it there.
This was before 10 billion illegal mexicans invaded california...obvioulsy by the look of the audience.

This was considered the Elton John pinnacle. He had Philadelphia Freedom & Island Girl hit #1 that year and was on top of the world.
