About this photograph
Elton John’s American debut at Doug Weston's Troubadour on August 25, 1970 in Los Angeles.
He recalled of the iconic show: "The energy I put into my performance, kicking out my piano stool and smashing my legs down on the piano, caught everyone off guard. It was pure rock ’n’ roll serendipity. Even before the reviews came in, we knew that something special had happened."
