    That string of early albums he had culminating in Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy were as strong a repertoire as anyone.

    Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding
    Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
    Levon
    Where to Now St. Peter?

    I bought it at a Stop & Go on Antoine. I think it cost $7. I paid for it with quarters, dimes and nickles.:D

    I never could get into his music but I did like "I'm Still Standing" and "Bennie and the Jets".

    Let's see if anyone knows the answer to this Elton John Trivia,

    The song "Bennie and the Jets" was recorded in the studio, but Elton wanted crowd noise in the background to make it sound like a live recording. What is the crowd noise from?
