Audience recording from Anaheim Convention Center in California 1970 December 4th. The three-piece Elton John Band was actually the opening act for Leon Russell on their second US tour. You can see pictures of my copy of the actual vinyl bootleg album which you are listening to here! It's an old vinyl album and a little scratchy, but a favorite in my collection.
Nigel Olsson on drums and backing vocals; and Dee Murray on bass guitar and backing vocals.
"Burn Down the Mission" comes from the album "Tumbleweed Connection," released just a couple of months before this concert. In those early shows the band always added a few classic rock'n roll numbers to the closing jam. At this concert they again played Elvis Presley's "My Baby Left Me" and The Beatles' "Get Back."
