11-17-70
11-17-70 is Elton John’s first live album and according to him, his best live performance. One of four Elton John albums released in 1971, the recording was taken from a live New York City radio broadcast on November 17, 1970 (hence the title, which is 17-11-70 elsewhere), and had only John, drummer Nigel Olsson, and bassist Dee Murray in the studio. Containing six of the 13 songs performed during the radio show, 11-17-70 is a fan’s dream in its mix of album tracks (“Take Me to the Pilot,” “Sixty Years On”), B-sides (“Bad Side of the Moon”), rarities (“Can I Put You On” from John’s 1971 Friends soundtrack), and covers (the Rolling Stones’ “Honky Tonk Women”). The final song is actually a three-part medley comprised of the Tumbleweed Connection track “Burn Down the Mission,” a cover of Arthur Crudup’s “My Baby Left Me,” and a cover of the Beatles’ “Get Back.” This record is a great snapshot of John pre-super stardom: energetic and driven as hell.
