Live in Australia with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is a live album by Elton John and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra recorded at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on December 14th, 1986. The concert was the last of a series of concerts done throughout the last two months of 1986. The concerts consisted of two sets: the first featuring Elton and his fourteen-piece band and Elton's flamboyant stage dress, featuring Mohawk and Tina Turner wigs, and the second featuring Elton, the band, and the eighty-eight piece Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. The album features most of the songs recorded in the second half of the show, excluding "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting", "Carla/Etude", "Cold as Christmas (In the Middle of the Year)" and "Slow Rivers". This was the last album to feature Elton's old vocal register prior to his throat surgery which occurred January 5th 1987.
All songs by John/Taupin.
