Here And There:Elton John

Here and There is a live album by British singer/songwriter Elton John, released in 1976. The title refers to the two concerts represented on the album: "Here" is a concert recorded at the Royal Festival Hall in London during the summer of 1974; "There" is a concert recorded at New York City'sMadison Square Garden on 28 November 1974.

For the 1995 CD reissue, original producer Gus Dudgeon remixed both shows and expanded the original single LP's song list for a two-CD set. While "Take Me to the Pilot" and "Your Song" appear on both discs, Dudgeon said in the liner notes that this was intentional, since both versions of each song are very different from each other, and in his opinion merited inclusion. Digital editing software allowed Dudgeon and his editing and mastering team to, as he put it in the new CD's liner notes by John Tobler, "fix the occasional musical mistake." In the US, it was certified gold in May 1976 and platinum in August 1998 by the RIAA.

The CD reissue of the "There" disc also includes the tracks Elton and the band performed with special guest John Lennon, who made his last public concert appearance at the Madison Square Garden Thanksgiving night show. The tracks were left off the original vinyl version, though "I Saw Her Standing There" was released as the b-side of the "Philadelphia Freedom" single, and all three songs were later released on a DJM-issued EP.

The album was at the time issued in part to fulfill a final contractual album obligation John owed to DJM Records, prior to having all his records released by his own Rocket Record Company label, starting with Blue Moves in 1976.

This album was also released under the titles Here and Now and London & New York.
