Don't you guys love all these 1984 recordings of Elton? I sure do (the 1984 live stuff is among my favorite recordings of Elton)! This is the last Canadian 1984 show upload (I already uploaded Toronto and Quebec City), then I will finish the American and European shows from that year! This recording is quite incomplete (it's a shame), but the quality is excellent! Some songs on this recording cut out early (like Restless being less than two minutes), so this recording may be a bit frustrating for the subscribers who really love the 1984 renditions of songs. Elton's voice is a bit rough-around-the-edges, but he does pull some tricks out of that boater hat of his--and delivers some good vocal performances--despite his voice being slightly worn out. The instrumental crew are in excellent form (as is the norm)!

Note 1: Elton forgets the lyrics during "Li'l 'Frigerator" (there seems to be a pattern with this song), but makes up for it with a great "Rocket Man" (especially the improv section)!

Note 2: The best North American version of "One More Arrow" is performed on this show! It is the only version that can fit among the excellent Australia and European versions.

Note 3: "Bennie And The Jets" has ridiculous phrasing!
