Exclusive recordings of select dates from the tour are now available from within the Peex app, which is free to download. Each show costs $19.99 — a lot less than a concert ticket — and features crystal-clear audio. 

In addition, the Peex app lets you create your own mix of the show: For example, you can boost Elton’s piano and vocal, and turn down the guitar and drums if you want.

Currently, the shows that are available for download include concerts that took place September 16 in University Park, Pennsylvania; September 25 and 26 in Toronto; September 29 in Quebec City; and October 4 in Montreal. 

A slew of other concert dates also are set to be recorded and made available for download, including Miami on November 25, New Orleans on December 6 and Dallas on December 14 and 15.

If you want even more live Elton, in-concert versions of some of his classics recorded over the years are now available at his YouTube channel, including a 1970 take on “Border Song” for BBC Radio, a 2000 performance of “Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding” in New York, and a 1998 recording of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” from Nashville.

And finally, for those who prefer old-school live Elton, two of his concert albums are being reissued on November 9 on 180-gram vinyl: 1976’s Here and There and 1986’s Live in Australia with the Melbourne Symphony. The latter album produced the 1988 hit live version of “Candle in the Wind.”

You can pre-order them now at Elton’s official store.
