Breaking Hearts Tour is the North American leg of the Breaking Hearts Tour. The European leg was dubbed "European Express". The tour started on 21 August 1984, at The Forum in Los Angeles, California. It included four sold-out concerts in New York City performed at Madison Square Garden.[1]
The Tour
The tour started on 17 August 1984, and continued until 18 November 1984. The tour covered twenty-one states and three provinces in Canada.[2]
One night in Madison Square Garden, Elton failed to stand up and was administered oxygen for half a minute; he went on with the show. "Bennie And The Jets", as usual, had snippets of "In The Mood", "Baby You're A Rich Man", "Chattanooga Choo Choo" and "Charlie Brown Theme Song"; "Rocket Man", for its part, had "Close Encounters Theme" as a snippet by Davey Johnstone.[3]
