Elton John: Here - and - There. Single live album. Side one is Live in London at The Royal Festival Hall. Skyline Pidgeon, Border Song, Honky Cat, and Crocodile Rock. Side two is Live in New York at Madison Square Garden, with Funeral for a Friend/Loves Lies Bleeding, Rocket Man, Bennie and the Jets, and Take me to the Pilot. The photo shown is of the inner record sleeve. I really love this photo for its bare and pure and clean lines of Elton's main band's tool ready to be picked up and played - or just set down. I am not too familiar with Nigel's DRUMORK kit. I think it is part of the Drum Workshop line of drums. And we all recognize Dee's Fender P bass and Davey's Les Paul.

Nigel's drum set on this album is a custom built set of Slingerland drums in maple finish, one of two similar but not identical sets he played. One set had wooden rims the other metal. Nigel designed them and Ric Piccolo at Slingerland was responsible for getting them constructed. Drumork refers to Nigel Olsson's Drum Orchestra and Chorus, his first sort of solo album work.
