#4 - Sacrifice - Elton John - Live in Maryland Heights 1995

Now for my very first concert from 1995 - my birth year! This concert is from the 30th of August 1995 and is recorded directly from the soundboard and is therefore in superb quality. Some moments during the concert the sound is distorted and sometimes cut (Honky Cat, some of the intro of Take Me To The Pilot, Someone Saved My Life Tonight and The Last Song which is almost unlistenable).

This show features an Elton in a great vocal shape. I think, however, Elton sounds a bit rough like there's some loose slime in his throat that won't move (eww :P). But that problem vanishes as the show progresses.
As this new idea "Angry Birds"-phrasing has been made I think I wanna use it. Elton uses the phrasing method on I'm Still Standing (a bit like the 86 versions) and I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That.
We also have some rare performances of some songs like Dixie Lily which has to be the tour number and some songs from the Made In England album.
Great performances of the songs and I want to highlight the solo on Bennie And The Jets which is fantastic. And Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting is awesome with Ray Coopers drum solo in the end of the song.

- Enjoy!
