Elton John, Ray Cooper - Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting) (Moscow, USSR 1979)

Six years to the month after he recorded it, Elton coaxed, teased, and muscled his Moscow audience at Rossiya Hall into an enthusiastic response to ‘Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting)’. The sheer joy Elton and Ray Cooper felt in being one of the first Western acts to play behind the Iron Curtain is evident throughout this 1979 video – starting with the vamp intro, as the pianist slowly warms up the first verse and the percussionist prowls the stage before attacking his instruments. Elton proves in this clip and on the entire Elton John with Ray Cooper: Live From Moscow LP (released January 24th 2020) that he doesn’t need flashy costumes or full band to deliver an unforgettable show.
