Live in Australia with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra*
Elton John One Night Only - The Greatest Hits

*The best live album that I have ever heard period. The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra nearly outshines the star performer himself.


The 70's was EJ's best decade in my opinion, and I never get tired of listening to EJ's music.
