Album Notes Personnel: Elton John (vocals, piano); Lesley Duncan (vocals); John Lennon (vocals, guitar); Davey Johnstone (guitar, background vocals); Dee Murray (bass, background vocals); Nigel Olsson (drums, background vocals); Ray Cooper (congas, duck calls, percussion).Engineers: Team Mobile (disc 1, all tracks); Fedco Truck Mobile (disc 2, all tracks).Recorded live at The Royal Festival Hall, London, England on May 18, 1974 and Madison Square Garden, New York, New York on November 28, 1974. Includes liner notes by John Tobler and Paul Gambaccini.Digitally remastered by Tony Cousins (Metropolis Mastering, London, England).Elton John originally released 1975's HERE AND THERE to fulfill contractual obligations to Dick James Music, the label he started out on. Unlike most artists content to put out something sub-par, EJ instead released a pair of recent, exemplary live recordings. The CD reissue includes a number of outstanding additions. The original record split its tracks between two 1974 shows: London's Royal Festival Hall and Madison Garden. John began the London show by revisiting his earlier material, starting solo with "Skyline Pigeon" before being joined by the band for "Border Song." The first batch of bonus material includes "Take Me To The Pilot," "Burn Down The Mission" and a rare duet with Lesley Duncan, the composer of "Love Song." The polite performance of the London material is in direct contrast to the maniacal energy of John's MSG show. Complementing the effervescent readings of Elton hits such as "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" and "Rocket Man" is John Lennon's last live performance. This mini-part of the set (previously available as a separate EP) features the duo's collaboration "Whatever Gets You Through The Night" along with a pair of Beatles classics, "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" and "I Saw Her Standing There."

Reviews  great live albumReview created: 03/09/07 by:  what a great album a must for any elton fan.all early stuff when elton was at his peak.i had this on vinly when it first came out,there are louds more tracks on this cd than the original.5xstar cd. Review ID: 10000000004281483 Was this review helpful? Report this review a must for any elton john fanThis double cd consists of tracks from two concerts by Elton in his first decade as a performer.It is a reliable guide to his playing and singing style before audiences here and in America. If that isn't enough, John Lennon joins Elton on stage at Madison Square Garden for a couple of numbers. (These turn out to be his final concert appearances). As a long-time fan of Elton John , I find that listening to well-known tune plus an enthusiastic audience is unbeatable. This album contains more tunes than the original double album and sound quality has been enhanced so well that it is hard to believe the performances took place 33 years ago. r.h.b.
