Every day of this summer we go back to the same summer day somewhere in history

25 Aug 1926

Eminent singer-songwriter ELTON JOHN (79 now) made his US live debut when
he kicked off a 17-date tour at the 300-seat capacity Troubadour in Los Angeles
on 25 August 1970. He played there for a full week. In the audience that night were
Don Henley (Eagles), Quincy Jones and Leon Russell.

Footage from that very gig.
