Dee Murray died January 15, 1992 from complications of a stroke and skin cancer, he was 45.

I was listening to this show when Rosebud says to me "Post that one with my approval". So another great Rosebud Pick. This show is the same as on the bootleg The Madman Shakes Tokyo, I do not know if they are the same source though. If you don't have a copy you should because the show is fabulous with a capitol F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S! These early shows that Elton used to play with a very stripped down band are always a pleasure to hear. I just re-watched To Russia With Elton (for the unknown number of times now) it's amazing. Just Elton John at the piano and Ray Cooper providing different percussion for all the songs. The first time I saw it was late night on some UHF-TV station that you could only tune in at night when there was less interference for the signal because the 3 major stations had signed off for the night. It blew me away then and it still does today, at about 80db through my speakers that my kids call Stonehenge, LOL!!

The flac files for each CD have been uploaded separately, they can open separately too. If you can I would recommend downloading one from each service at the same time.
