Elton John concert chronology |
In the fall of 1997, Elton John set out on tour to promote his latest album The Big Picture with the Big Picture Tour. The album was a commercial success reaching No. 9 on the US Billboard 200 and No. 3 on the UK Albums Chart.[1] The 1997 tour started off in North America and ended in Europe.[2]
The second year of the tour also started off in North America but was interrupted by John's and Billy Joel's 1998 Face to Face Tour.[3] Elton returned to the US after the tour before completing four sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden and returning and ending the tour in Europe.[4]
