So there’s all this hype and rumble around the new Elton John/Leon Russell album. Some love it, some hate it, and most agree it could’ve been better. I’ve been an Elton fan for a LONG time. In fact, I’ve seen him in concert 32 times. But the single greatest performance he ever gave, in my humble opinion, gets tragically overlooked. Below are a couple clips from his performance on MTV’s Unplugged from 1990. I don’t think he’s ever topped what he did that night. But it’s enough to keep me as a fan for a long time …
“Bennie and the Jets”
“Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me”
