Since then, a string of classic rockers have staged outsized extended engagements. It all started right here.

'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' was the second studio album he released in 1973 and his seventh in five years.

Ultimate Classic Rock counts down every Elton John album, from worst to best.

This performance finds the most significant figure in rock history shattering every expectation.
