The concert, recorded on December 14, 1986, was the final performance of Elton John's "Tour De Force" tour in Australia and New Zealand. It featured two sets: the first with John's 14-piece band, including backing vocalists and horn section, showcasing his flamboyant stage persona, and the second with the band joined by the 88-piece Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, with John dressed as Mozart.
