Elton John - Dodger Stadium 1975 full version

This is the best quality film/audio online of this historic concert in October of 1975 with a few footnotes added throughout. Enjoy.

My sister went and I have regretted not going the rest of my life. This was such an iconic concert and I missed it.

I was 18 and just graduated Army basic training and on a weekend pass from Fort Ord. My high school best friend and drummer from our garage band bought us tickets to the Oct 25th concert. Festival seating. We had a huge blanket in the outfield with a good view of the stage. Awesome long entertaining concert. Two sets. First set opened with Your Song and second set opened with Funeral For A Friend. I was able to sneak my cassette player in and recorded most of it. Such a great memory. I was hoping Elton would have released a double set album of the concert. I thought a fitting title would have been "The Artful Dodger" with Elton on the cover in that special Dodgers uniform.

People always find a way to inject military service into a comment when it’s completely irrelevant. So cringe

[@stephenbordwell1034]

Thank u f u s. We try so hard though music. It's just so hard

[@jacobperales2415]

Wow! As a huge Elton fan, I'd thought I'd seen everything about him. What a cool video. Thanks!!!!!!!!

[@bobking59]

Glad you enjoyed it! I have a remixed video of Pinball Wizard from that concert with better audio etc if you want to see it.

I’m a huge Elton fan since my youth and still am! I’ve watched many videos of concerts, interviews, etc. I have to say in my opinion this one was the poorest quality BUT I realize it’s an old video and it’s not going to be clear. I’ve read about this stage in his early career where he changed some of the band, added other backup singers, too many people hanging on the actual stage..seemed disjointed. We didn’t see the entire concert either so I can’t say if it was all this way. Watch the 1980 Central Park Concert! Omg! He and the band were FANTASTIC! The crowd was great too. Of course Elton added a few fun things too.😂Just love him. Thank you Elton & Bernie Taupin for the wonderful songs you gave us and still do.❤

Elton has been my musical crush ever since I heard Levon on the radio in 1971 when I was 9. I have bought (or received as gifts) all of his CDs and two of his box sets. My 13th birthday (July 1975) I was gifted Captain Fantastic. Four months later I bought Rock of the Westies and gave it to my best friend's older brother. He gave me the Lady Samantha 8-Track British Import. I repurchased Rock for myself.

[@MinPrivate]

Levon wasn’t released until 2025 you must be confused.

[@oriolesandravens]

@@MinPrivate surely you jest. The vinyl album and single were both issued on the Uni Label (MCA subsidiary). The LP in November 1971, the single in December 1971.

[@patriciakahl3661]

I was there... I was only 17!!! It was a highlight in my childhood... Anyone remember him throwing out his piano bench to get another color one .. he went thru a slue of em!!!

[@CarlAnderson-t8u]

THIS was a real treat. I had only intended to check out a few minutes or so. 26 minutes and 45 seconds flew right by. Thank you for this upload 🙏🏼

[@joesamm1190]

Fantastic quality video and sound, thanks for posting

[@kurtstriegler8909]

What a pleasure and privilege to be able to see this wonderful footage. THANK YOU !

[@kioamachree112]

I had just started the University of Pennsylvania. A few months earlier we interviewed Elton at our school Eton College. Russel Harty was also interviewed a few months earlier and I didn't like him, but Elton was a great guy.

[@wagnercabrerisso5986]

*1975; the world smells Elton John music ! By the way, it shines til'nowadays ! (2023 ) 🤗💓🇧🇷🇧🇷🙏*

[@mrlakerbob]

I was there

[@cherry972]

lucky you!

[@cafinario]

For goodsake, every song is a hit.

[@macc7245]

This is really even more amazing since EJ had tried to OD in front of his visiting family including his "Nan" who was to have said, "does this mean we have to go back to England now?"

[@jesperlundstrom4295]

Should come out digitally restored on dvd or blue ray the whole concert

[@davidkeeley210]

Maybe the whole concert wasn't filmed

[@joeperez8427]

My pop me and my sister went to go see this gig I was 9 years old my sister was about 12 and my dad went with us what a blast

[@oliviajohnjohnolivia8142]

No rap artist could be this good.

[@MinPrivate]

No need to put others down :)

[@oliviajohnjohnolivia8142]

@MinPrivate Not putting anyone down just saying the truth.In rap they can't even play a instrument much less sing or dance.

[@ElSeñorDreamer]

Can some tell who the bass guy in 10:05 and 11:55 is please he look cool

[@davidkeeley210]

This is part of a documentary that's been around for years.

[@joesamm1190]

There is a way longer version but the quality is not as good

[@donavonmacallister3101]

Wonder why not much footage from first show? Amazing video

[@MinPrivate]

This was 1975, no one knew it would end up being iconic

[@rogerlollar4325]

I saw him at the bjcc in December 2018

[@stephenbordwell1034]

Glad i didn't go. Got it on the radio 😊

[@Mu_de_Aries]

Tracklist?

I need that LA hat eltons wearing .

[@joesamm1190]

Not as good without Nigel and Dee

[@michellourenco2905]

SOUND WISE this is an awful show. Maybe because there were too many musicians on stage. I particularly don't like listening to this show.

[@Gardenroses12]

Watch his 1980 concert in Central Park NYC. SO great!

[@jdenino6022]

Dec. 24, 1974 Hammersmith Odeon Christmas concert is much better than this one is sound wise. I never liked stadium concerts myself. Saw the Stones in 1981 in E. Rutherford and the sound wasn't that great bc the venue was too big imo. We all got stoned though...

[@davidkeeley210]

Huge stadium show. They went for a fuller sound.
