Here & There - Elton John
Ok, so I walked into the kitchen last night right in the middle of American Idol...and was informed that John Stevens had attempted "Crocodile Rock". Glad I missed it. I like the guy's voice but the selection of that particular tune shows he's lacking in the judgement department. What the heck were his alternate choices? "Philadelpha Freedom"? "Your Sister Can't Twist (But She Can Rock & Roll)"? "The Bitch Is Back"?!!!
I got over my shock in time to witness George Huff blast off with "Take Me To The Pilot". Oh yea, that was fun. It dislodged an old musical brain particle, causing me to dig out my old vinyl copy of John's underrated 1976 live album. The original record ends with a blistering "Take Me To The Pilot".
The current CD version contains all sorts of goodies left off of the original release. Check it out.
