        no no, I mean, he didn't like it. He freaked out and threw up before his MSG show with Elton. -- nm - loosilu2 Oct 31, 11:37 1
        
        well yeah that was in 1975 after he'd been off stage for a bit. I really do think by 1980-82...he would have toured on his own for Double Fantasy... - Remlik Oct 31, 11:42
