Elton John - 'Take Me to the Pilot' (from '11-17-70')

Forty-three years ago on Nov. 17, Elton John recorded his first live album. It was released nearly six months later, titled simply 11-17-70. The opening track is a barn-burner, with John in great voice and playing a lively piano, reminiscent of Leon Russell.
