Elton John Los Angeles 1975 by Matt Ryan Tobin (Main Edition)

“I know how to pull off a show because of all those years I spent in clubs backing Major Lance or playing with Bluesology playing to 20 people,” the singer explained in his autobiography Me. “I’ve got the experience, so my gigs are never really below a certain standard. But sometimes something else happens on stage. From the minute you start playing you just know you can do no wrong. It’s as if your hands are moving independently of your brain. You don’t even have to concentrate, you just feel as free as a bird. You can do anything you want. Those are the gigs you live for. And Dodger Stadium was like that on both days.”
