Elton John in 1993, who made a big hit with “THE ONE”, which was released after overcoming addiction, and had a huge presence in the scene even in the 90’s. Introducing the finest soundboard album that represents such an era.
It is “May 13, 1993 London performance” that is contained in such a work. This is a stereo sound board recording recorded at the traditional venue “Earls Court Exhibition Center”. Elton, who declared a resurrection to the whole world with “THE ONE”, embarked on a large-scale world tour. The pattern is also left in the official video “LIVE IN BARCELONA”, so let’s check it in the schedule as well.
● 1992
・ May 26-June 22: Europe # 1a (19 performances)
《June 22nd release of “THE ONE”》
・ June 26-July 21: Europe # 1b (18 performances) ← * LIVE IN BARCELONA

《November 22nd release of “DUETS”》
This is Elton John in 1992/1993. The scale of over 150 performances was one of the best in his career, and of course it was the biggest tour of the 90’s. Among them, “LIVE IN BARCELONA” was shot in “Europe # 1” before and after the album was released, but after that, it also traveled to North America, South America, Oceania, and Asia. The Earl’s Court performance of this work was the second performance of “Europe # 2”, which is the second lap of Europe.
This work recorded in the triumphant return performance of such a resurrection tour is the finest stereo sound board. Of course, even if you say a sound board, there are many different personalities, but this work is a highly complete type that can be said to be semi-official. The balance and stereo feeling are finely arranged, and the great cheers between songs are mixed with chitin. Although there is a rough feeling like a live broadcast, it is also within the range of the official work standard, not the boot standard. If the deluxe edition of “THE ONE” is realized, I want you to set this work as a bonus disc … No, you should definitely set it. It is the best live album of such a dimension.
The semi-official sound is drawn with a show that has changed so much that it cannot be thought of as “THE ONE TOUR”, which is the same as the official video “LIVE IN BARCELONA”. Here, let’s organize the set while comparing it with the official masterpiece video.
● 70’s Classics (11 songs)
・ My song is your song: Take Me To The Pilot (★) / Your Song
・ Elton John 3: Come Down in Time (★)
・ Honky Chateau: Rocket Man (I Think It’s Going to Be a Long, Long Time) (★)
・ Twilight Brick Road: Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding / Bennie And The Jets (★) / Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting / Candle in the Wind (★)
・ Caribbean: Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me
・ Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy (★)
・ Blue Moves: Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word
● Others (6 songs) since the 1980s
・ Jump up: Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny) (★)
・ Breaking Hearts: Sad Songs (Say So Much)
・ Sleeping with the Past: Sacrifice
・ The One: Simple Life / The One / The Last Song
・ Cover: The Show Must Go On (QUEEN) / Jumpin’Jack Flash (★: THE ROLLING STONES)
* Note: The “★” mark is a song that cannot be heard even in the official video “LIVE IN BARCELONA”.
… And it looks like this. The balance of classics is 2/3 and the new repertoire is 1/3. 19 songs will be shown in this work, 7 of which have been replaced from “LIVE IN BARCELONA”.
Not only the number of songs but also the contents are special, and I am happy with the selections such as “Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy”, “Come Down in Time” and “Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)” which have been revived for the first time in 11 years. “The Show Must Go On”, which began to sing at Freddie’s memorial concert, was also heard on “LIVE IN BARCELONA”, but in this work, the Stones cover “Jumpin’Jack Flash” for the first time in 20 years was also shown. It has been done.
Elton John who built a new heyday in the 90’s. It is a masterpiece of a live album where you can enjoy the majestic stage with the finest stereo sound board. That is the semi-official brand that I want to collect alongside “THE ONE” and “LIVE IN BARCELONA”. A masterpiece of music that is packed with great sounds, great performances, and great masterpieces that will not shake anyone’s heart. Please enjoy it to your heart’s content.
