From the Double Bootleg Vinyl LP which features Elton John & Leon Russell LIVE from the Anaheim Convention Center in California 1970 December 4th. The three-piece Elton John Band was actually the opening act for Leon Russell! The pictures are of my copy of the actual vinyl bootleg album which you are listening to here! It's an old scratchy vinyl album of a rough audience recording, but quite a piece of history! You can really hear in these performances how Leon Russell was a huge influence on Elton John in the beginning of his career. Both the piano playing and the stage performance. "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry" is by Bob Dylan, but is also included on Leon Russell's 1971 album "Leon Russell and the Shelter People."
