The original LA Times review of the Troubadour shows that launched Elton John's career
In his opening set Tuesday, John did songs from his first album, from his still-to-be-released second album and from his planned third album.
Since he was backed Tuesday only by his own piano, Nigel Olsson on drums and Dee Murray on bass, his sound was much earthier in general than the sweet, heavily orchestrated music of the first album. In fact, John’s intense vocals, coupled with Taupin’s biting lyrics, on “Burn Down the Mission,” would be right at home alongside Levon Helm on stage with the Band.
