It doesn’t get much better than Elton John in his prime, backed by a full 88-piece orchestra. For today’s Thursday Throwback, we bring you the legendary Live in Australia with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Recorded at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in December 1986, the show consisted of two sets — the first, with Elton and his 14-piece band, including the Onward International horn section, and the second featuring the 88-piece Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Enjoy one of the best from Sir Elton John on your Thursday afternoon.
