Tokyo 1971

SUPERB 1971 RADIO BROADCAST FROM A YOUNG ELTON JOHN Madman Across the Water, the fourth studio album by Elton John, was released November 5th 1971 through DJM and Uni Records. Elton’s third record to come out in ‘71, at which point he had been rising to prominence as a popular music artist, this new performer was nothing if not industrious. A month prior to Madman’s release, Elton had been on his first ever tour of Japan, where he had played every night between the 5th and 11th of October ’71. Kicking off with three gigs in Tokyo, he moved onto Osaka for two shows, before concluding the tour back in Tokyo at the Kōsei Nenkin Kaikan Hall on the 10th and 11th of the month. His final show in Japan in ’71, was of particular interest, and was recorded for live FM radio broadcast. Rarely heard by fans, this entire concert is now available on this new 2 CD Set.
