Elton John is perhaps the greatest living pop star alive today, and we sure are thankful for that. With a career spanning over 56 years, he is one of the most successful musical artists in history having sold an astronomical 300 million records worldwide. So, when he announced his last ever world tour, the Farewell to Yellow Brick Road Tour, you knew the last North American show was going to be an emotional, glitzy, sparkling night attended by thousands of adoring fans and celebrities alike. Instead of playing one last show at Dodger Stadium, Elton played three sold-out shows, starting on November 17 and ending on November 20 to 55,000 adoring fans each night. It was no coincidence that Dodger Stadium was the venue chosen to host such an event, as Elton held the old ground quite close to his heart.

Why Did Elton John Play at Dodger Stadium?

As mentioned, Dodger stadium holds a special place in Elton’s heart. It is thought that the two sold-out shows he played at Dodger Stadium in October 1975 are what cemented Elton John as a supernova, a worldwide superstar that would never be forgotten.

He was riding on the back of two hugely successful album releases, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy and Rock of the Westies. Both of them had consecutively entered the Billboard Chart at Number 1, which was the first time that accolade had been achieved, by any artist, ever. If that wasn’t momentous enough, the last artist to play at Dodger Stadium in L.A. was The Beatles all the way back in 1966. So the stage was well and truly set.

The 1975 Dodger Stadium shows were an extravaganza. A cataclysm of music, fashion, and celebrity. Elton was walked onto the stage by friend, activist, and tennis player Billie Jean King, who later accompanied him with backing vocals on ‘Philadelphia Freedom’. The song itself was a sort of tribute to the World TeamTennis Club, an equal rights tennis club that King helped organize.

On each night, Elton performed for a whopping 3 1/2 hours for the grand price of $10 per ticket. In the second part of the show, he emerged from backstage in the iconic sequinned Dodger baseball uniform and cap that was designed by famous fashion designer Bob Mackie. Perhaps one of the most fabulous concert outfits of all time, the uniform had ‘ELTON’ and the number ‘1’ on his back in Dodger blue.

It is thought that the 1975 Dodger Stadium shows propelled Elton John into musical history, so choosing that venue for his last-ever North American show was a nostalgic homage to one of the most iconic events in pop music history.
