Elton John in concert in London in 1974 Elton John recorded at the Hammersmith Odeon in London in 1974. Presented by Chris Hawkins. Backed by former Spencer Davis Group drummer Nigel Olsson and bassist Dee Murray, John's first American concert took place at the Troubadour in Los Angeles on 25 August 1970, and was a success.[42] The concept album Tumbleweed Connection was released in October 1970 and reached number two in the UK and number five in the US.[40] The live album 17-11-70 (titled 11–17–70 in the US) was recorded at a live show aired from A&R Studios on WABC-FM in New York City. Sales of the live album took a blow in the US when an east-coast bootlegger released the performance several weeks before the official album, including all 60 minutes of the aircast, not just the 40 minutes selected by Dick James Music.
