LOS ANGELES — Elton John’s audacious 1970 U.S. debut moved a critic to declare that the slight young Englishman would become one of rock’s most important stars. It didn’t take long.
Within five years, his reputation cemented by a string of hits including “Rocket Man” and “Daniel,” fans packed L.A.’s Dodger Stadium for two rousing, sequin-bedecked concerts. This weekend, John will close out the North American leg of his last tour at the ballpark.
