Madison Square Garden has been the site of many iconic Elton gigs, including this “One Night Only” concert – his 51st consecutive sold out performance at the venue. In front of a rapt New York City crowd on October 21, 2000, Elton and the band performed the first single from his 1974 album ‘Caribou’, a song on which Elton struggled recording the lead vocal and would have been left on the cutting room floor had it not been for the encouragement of drummer Nigel Olsson (keen observers will note Elton admiring Nigel’s iconic drum fill at 4:25, this being the original and current drummer’s return to the band after a 16 year absence) and producer Gus Dudgeon: “I kept saying, ‘It’s a great song. Stick with it. Stick with it!’”.
