NYC: A ROCK N' ROLL ARCHAEOLOGICAL DIG - HISTORIC PERFORMANCE AT 54 BELOW TONIGHT ONLY
On Friday, June 14th at 8:00 pm at 54 BELOW (254 West 54th Street, NYC - 646-476-3551 ), a Rock n' Roll archaeological dig will unfold, as singer/ songwriter/ producer/ drummer Rich Pagano, pianist/ vocalist/ songwriter Jeff Kazee and singer/ bassist John Conte join together as 'Early Elton' - The trio of respected artists will deliver a historic recreation/interpretation of Elton John's 'Tumbleweed Connection', in its entirety, based specifically on the album's 1971 live trio tour arrangements. No wigs, no costumes - just three great musicians performing the early music of a seminal artist. This is the only scheduled Early Elton performance of this classic record in its entirety. Elton John's studio/ recording budgets were substantial, but from 1970 to 1972 his touring budgets were small by comparison. As a result, he was forced to restructure the arrangements of his albums and tour as a trio, since he had no money for a full band. Pagano, Kazee and Conte painstakingly scoured the net for rare video, soundboard mixes, bootleg recordings and even Elton's own home demos in shaping their collective vision of Elton's Trio Period, they blur the line slightly between replication and innovation. No one has ever tackled the live trio tour arrangements in this way before. There is a $25-$35 cover plus a $25 food/drink minimum.
