Our Take

Folks, grab your feather boas and oversized sunglasses because we are taking a trip back in time to 1971 with the legendary Elton John's "Tokyo Shakes - Live in Japan" album. This live recording captures the essence of Elton's early career in all its glittery, retro glory.

From the moment Elton hits the stage, the energy is infectious. His piano-playing skills are undoubtedly top-notch, with each note hitting the perfect pitch and his vocals soaring to incredible heights. The crowd is transfixed, hanging on to every word and every chord like they're watching a musical god in action.

The setlist is a perfect mix of Elton's hits and lesser-known gems, showcasing his versatility as an artist. "Your Song" and "Tiny Dancer" shine brightly, while deep cuts like "Bad Side of the Moon" bring a raw, unfiltered energy to the show.

The live production of "Tokyo Shakes" is surprisingly crisp for a concert recorded in the '70s, capturing every nuance of Elton's performance. You can practically feel the sweat dripping down his brow as he pours his heart and soul into each song.

Overall, "Tokyo Shakes - Live in Japan 1971" is a must-listen for any Elton John fan or music enthusiast looking to experience the magic of a live concert from one of the greatest performers of all time. So slip on those platform shoes and crank up the volume, because this album is a time machine back to a golden era of music.
