60 at 60 Birthday Show
60 - 25 Mar 2007


Please note: Show #17 was originally scheduled for October 26, 1984, but Elton had to cancel in the last minute and the show was postponed to November 12, 1984.

So it is true, March 25, 2007 will indeed mark Elton's 60th performance at The Garden, if you don't count the following four special appearances that is:

On October 11, 1992, Elton also performed there for the Elizabeth Taylor Aids Benefit. On October 20, 2001, he was part of the Concert For New York, and on September 20, 2005, he also took the stage at Madison Square Garden for From The Big Apple To The Big Easy.

His last Garden appearance was on November 15, 2005 when he took part in the 39th Annual CMA Awards.

Since 1984, Elton has always performed at The Garden in the last quarter of the year, mainly in mid October. The only exception from that rule was the March 15, 2002 performance with Billy Joel during the "Face 2 Face Tour". And he will break that rule again on March 25, 2007 for his 60th performance.

Thanks to Tony Marshall whose list of Elton's concert and television appearances from 1964 until today (Excel file) was a great help.
