As requested by Omuen (AKA Ollie), this European 1986 show continues the 1986 concerts that Elton Bootlegs and myself like to upload (sorry Laurence7591)! The quality on this recording is fairly decent, but it's somewhat incomplete (a few songs are missing, and some have cuts). Like the other 1986 shows, this concert features Elton and his band performing strongly, and delivering each song effectively! Elton's voice is still in good shape as the European Tour comes to a close--though there are noticeable signs of vocal fatigue on his middle and higher ranges (this is not signs of his later vocal troubles--this is because of the crammed dates--plus this is the second show played on this date). There is quite a bit of conservative vocal phrasing on many songs, and Elton often backs off sustained notes (though in most cases, he hits the original note cleanly). Despite his somewhat tired voice, Elton does sing excellent renditions of "Better Off Dead," "Burn Down The Mission," "Someone Saved My Life Tonight," and "Restless" (which is said to be one of the best versions from the tour).
