During Elton John's U.S. farewell show at Dodger Stadium, he mentioned the L.A. Times review Robert Hilburn wrote about eltonofficial's U.S. debut at the Troubadour in 1970. Read the review, which helped launch John in the U.S.
L.A. Times music critic Robert Hilburn was there and wrote a review, published Aug. 27, 1970, which bore the headline “New rock talent,” and boldly predicted that John would become “one of rock’s biggest and most important stars.” Original text below:Rejoice. Rock music, which has been going through a rather uneventful period lately, has a new star. He’s Elton John, a 23-year-old Englishman whose United States debut Tuesday night at the Troubadour was, in almost every way, magnificent.
His music is so staggeringly original that it is obvious he is not merely operating within a given musical field but, like Randy Newman and Laura Nyro among others, creating his own field. 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.
