ELTON JOHN THE CLASSIC YEARS Series.
17-11-70 (known as 11-17-70 in the United States) is the fifth official album release for Elton John and his first live album. It was first broadcast live from A&R Recording Studios in New York City in front of a little over a hundred people (if we’re to believe Dave Herman’s introduction.) If you do listen, keep it in the back of you’re head that what you’re hearing is just three people and three instruments — Elton John on piano, Dee Murray on bass and Nigel Olsson on drums. While Dee Murray passed away in 1992, Nigel Olsson is still playing drums with Elton John. The album was produced by long-time Elton John producer Gus Dudgeon and engineered by Phil Ramone (who would go on to produce a boatload of classic rock artists, including fellow piano man Billy Joel.) The legendary live radio session concert has been hailed as one of the greatest live albums of all time… and it’s not hard to see why. Elton and his band are on fire here, across a host of early classics and a storming cover of the Rolling Stones’ ''Honky Tonk Women''.
PERSONNEL: Elton John – piano, lead vocals; Dee Murray – bass, backing vocals; Nigel Olsson – drums, backing vocals.
The great thing about this early live record is its obscurity - not just that this isn't one of his better-known records, but that the set list is a fanboy's dream, heavy on album tracks, covers, and the kinds of song that make Elton John's early work so individual. It's not just that there are no hits here, but it's that these six songs emphasize the spare, hard-rocking bluesy singer/songwriter that may not have written his own words, but always sang them with conviction and melodies that made them seem like his own. This may be a minor effort in his catalog, but that's part of its pleasure - it's certainly a record from the time before Elton the superstar, as he tears through Tumbleweed Connection tracks prior to the record's release, does a phenomenal reworking of "Honky Tonk Women," hauls out B-sides like "Bad Side Of The Moon," and gives a fierce, infectious performance. It's not essential for anyone but obsessives, but if you want any indication of what Elton sounded like prior to his big break, this is an excellent, even intoxicating, summary.
The Performances On This Album Were Recorded During A Live Radio Concert, Broadcast In New York By WABC-FM On 17th November 1970.
