Elton John commentedabout today's (Tuesday) 50th anniversary of his first show in America -- August 25th, 1970 at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, California.
"As I wrote in British GQ last week, that show changed my life. When I walked on stage on August 25th, 1970, I was just a little-known pop singer from England. It didn’t take me long to realize afterwards, though, that things would never be the same again. "
Elton also posted a video from that show, as well as a clip of it being reenacted in last year's movie Rocketman.
A lengthy essay on that show is posted at EltonJohn.com.
