Re: Elton John at Dodger Stadium 1976

    Re: Elton John at Dodger Stadium 1976

    There is a documentary video that was shot by a British T.V. show. It has some performance and back stage clips from the two shows. You can find a copy of the documentary on EBay, on occasion. There has also been a vinyl recording called West of the Rockies that also shows up on EBay. One side of the record has a few songs from the 10/75 Dodger Stadium shows. There is a new documentary that was completed this summer, that apparently mentions the Dodger shows. I sent my ticket from the 10/25 show to them, to use during the filming, but I have not seen it shown in the U.S. as of yet.  You can also find video clips from the shows on You Tube:

    Emmy Lou Harris opened to mixed reviews, as I remember, then Joe Walsh and then Elton who played a 3 hour & 45 minute set .
