ELTON JOHN THE CLASSIC YEARS Series.
HERE AND THERE, released in April 30, 1976, is a live album by English musician Elton John; it is his fourteenth official album release. The title refers to the two concerts represented on the album: "HERE" is a concert recorded at the Royal Festival Hall in London on 18th May 1974; "THERE" is a concert recorded at New York City's Madison Square Garden on 28th November 1974. You don't see this album listed in any of those lists of best live rock albums, but it certainly should be near the top of any such list. A magnificent record of the great Elton John in performance in both London and New York in 1974. Playing tracks from most of his albums up to and including Goodbye Yellow Brick Road it is easy to see why he was, and still is, a superstar. This is mid-seventies stadium rock at its absolute best. powerful, energised and emotional by turns. Great songs, great singing and a magnificent band. Disc one is highlights from the Royal Festival Hall concert in London, while disc two is from Madison Square Garden in New York. This New York concert is very special, of course, because it includes a guest appearance by John Lennon, where he and Elton perform three songs together.

Although initially considered a contractually obligated release, when HERE AND THERE was upgraded in 1995 as part of Elton John's "The Classic Years" catalog overhaul, it became the most definitive live document to date of his immortal '70s quintet that featured the pianist backed by Davey Johnstone (guitar), Dee Murray (bass), Nigel Olsson (drums), and Ray Cooper (percussion). What was originally a single vinyl long-player was expanded to nearly two hours and 20 minutes, spread over two CDs. The "HERE" show was recorded at an Invalid Children's Aid Society Benefit at Royal Festival Hall in London on May 18, 1974. John begins with a pair of early solo numbers before being joined by the band for inspired readings of hits such as the rousing "Take Me To The Pilot" and "Crocodile Rock" as well as the equally integral deep cuts "Bad Side Of The Moon" and a very special version of the ballad "Love Song" - featuring a rare duet with the song's author and original co-vocalist Leslie Duncan. Another real treat is the funky and loose rendering of "Honky Cat" with some interesting interaction between John and Cooper. Six months later John and company hit Madison Square Garden in New York City for a series of shows over Thanksgiving weekend. In acknowledgement of a wager set forth between John and John Lennon that stated, if the duo's single "Whatever Gets You Thru The Night" from Lennon's Walls And Bridges album topped the singles chart, Lennon would join Elton on-stage for a few numbers. While the remainder of the set hold its own, it pales in the wake of the preceding momentous performance. This should be considered essential listening for enthusiasts as well as curious music historians.
