We rehearsed it as a band, then went in and cut it more or less live. The band were at their absolute peak and you can hear it on the record. I think it\u2019s the best thing we ever did. The songs were strong, Bernie\u2019s lyrics were brilliant, and the atmosphere at Caribou was perfect. Seeing it go to Number One faster than anything I\u2019d ever released felt like vindication, like the culmination of everything Bernie and I had fought for back in those bedsits in London.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uncut.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ELTONcaptainfantastic_packshot.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-151366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uncut.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ELTONcaptainfantastic_packshot.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.uncut.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ELTONcaptainfantastic_packshot-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uncut.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ELTONcaptainfantastic_packshot-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uncut.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ELTONcaptainfantastic_packshot-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.uncut.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ELTONcaptainfantastic_packshot-1392x1044.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/www.uncut.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ELTONcaptainfantastic_packshot-1068x801.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"><\/figure>\n<p>Also available on October 24 as a standalone live LP is Elton John\u2019s 1975 track-by-track performance of the album from Midsummer Music Live At Wembley in 1975.
