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

Why did Elton John play at Dodger Stadium?

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

He rode on the back of two hugely successful album releases, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy And Rock of the Westies. Both had debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts consecutively, marking the first time that an artist had ever achieved that honor. As if that wasn’t significant enough, in 1966 the Beatles were the last artist to play Dodger Stadium in LA. So the stage was really set.

The 1975 shows at Dodger Stadium were an extravagance. A catastrophe of music, fashion and celebrity. Elton was ushered onto the stage by his friend, activist and tennis player Billie Jean King, who later joined him on “Philadelphia Freedom” with backing vocals. The song itself was a kind of homage to the World TeamTennis Club, an equal tennis club that King helped organize.

Each night, Elton performed for a whopping 3 1/2 hours at the great price of $10 per ticket. In the second part of the show, he appeared backstage in the iconic sequined Dodger baseball uniform and cap, designed by famed fashion designer Bob Mackie. Perhaps one of the most fabulous concert outfits of all time, the uniform had “ELTON” and the number “1” on the back in Dodger blue.

The shows at Dodger Stadium in 1975 are believed to have catapulted Elton John into music history, so the choice of this venue for his very last North American show was a nostalgic homage to one of the most celebrated events in popular music history.
