Better Off Dead (Elton John - Hammersmith Odeon - 12/15/1982)

"This is a song from the Captain Fantastic album..... Which would apply to Nigel Olsson if I get my hands on him at this very moment it's called Better Off Dead!" The infamous gig where Nigel Olsson failed to turn up which left Elton no choice but to soldier on with Davey Johnstone and Dee Murray as a three-piece act, leading Elton to set the tempos throughout the evening. The whole show is an interesting experience with Dee having to work overtime on the bass to compensate for the lack of drums and Elton trying to keep in decent spirits, especially with England playing Luxembourg in a European Championship qualifier and keeping the crowd updated with the score. The main reasons for this upload are for the speech beforehand and the much-improved quality (thank you Mike!), but the performance itself is well worth a listen with strong vocals and playing from all concerned. Enjoy!
