Elton John – Live in Germany 1984
This release captures Elton John’s outdoor festival performance in Germany in 1984, taken directly from a local radio broadcast soundboard recording. Performed with his classic 1970s band lineup, expanded into a five-piece with the addition of Fred Mandel (keyboards, guitar), the setlist features both timeless classics and then-new tracks such as Too Low for Zero, I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues, and Kiss the Bride.
Sharing the festival stage alongside 1980s New Wave acts like Depeche Mode and Howard Jones, Elton delivered a commanding performance that showcased his stature as one of the greats. Presented here for the first time from high-quality soundboard sources, this is a highly recommended title for fans and collectors alike!
