Moscow concert has been widely bootlegged over the years, but this new version has been remastered from the original analogue tapes
Elton John's historic 1979 tour of the USSR with percussionist Ray Cooper will be commemorated with a live LP recorded at a Moscow gig.is commemorating the 40th anniversary of his historic 1979 U.S.S.R. tour by officially releasing his May 29th, 1979 stop at Moscow’s Rossiya Hall. It will come out January 24th on streaming services, via a two-CD set and on a double LP vinyl package.
The tour came two years after Elton John announced his retirement from the road citing burnout and exhaustion. It was a stripped-down show in support of his new LPIt was a commercially disappointing release, but it became the first Western pop album officially released inside the Soviet Union. This came at a time when the Soviet government was slowly lifting cultural restrictions and it led to John becoming one of first major Western pop stars, following Cliff Richard, to tour the country.
The set featured a cross-section of songs from John’s entire career, including “Daniel,” “Candle in the Wind,” “Skyline Pigeon” and “Take Me to the Pilot.” Russian authorities made the mistake of telling him not to cover the Beatles’ “Back In The U.S.S.R.,” so of course he played it at every show. The final night was broadcast on the BBC and was widely bootlegged as a result, but this new release has been remastered by Bob Ludwig from the original BBC analogue tapes.
