Elton John – 17-11-70

Great sounding pressing of his best album I my opinion!

You won’t go wrong this copy. Sounds good, it’s a fun record. Band sounds like they are enjoying themselves on this radio station recording. Very clear recording. I am happy to have this. Early Elton!

This early Elton John album has incredible energy and soul and really showcases John's vocals.

One of the better bootlegs I’ve listened to. My copy sounds almost as good as the original press. Honestly can barely tell the difference. If you can’t find the original this one is a nice placeholder.

Fantastic album Take Me to the Pilot and Burn Down the Mission are epic. Elton in his prime. No one was better

Essential EJ record. 60 Years On simply stunning. Nigel and Dee so powerful here I wonder why they were rarely able to capture this energy on all the studio albums to come. Can I Put You On foreshadows S2 of Madman, and the highlight is the extended BDTM jam with shout outs to Elvis and the Beatles. How cool is that.

Contrary to the other reviews, I'm not bothered by Gus Dudgeon's additional effects. Maybe it's because I'm not familiar with the original mix? This probably one of the most magical moments of power trio ever committed to disc. Can you even believe there are no guitars on this? The closest Elton has gotten to this dynamic ever since is on The Diving Board.

Stereo 8 is a format, as such, it should not be used as a label.

Amazing record. Live, small audience, quiet, great dynamics and most importantly, he kills it!

It's nothing short of pure fascination how Elton John overexerted himself during this performance. He not only had a lot of fun himself playing but he also mesmerized every listener with his joyful playing style. In my opinion this recording contains the best version of 'sixty years on'. Too bad it was never captured on video. What a sight it must have been.
