Elton John & Bruce Johnston!

Now, how would you like to have these guys in the band playing at your next wedding reception?  The Beach Boys' Bruce Johnston plays bass as Elton John tears it up on the piano and vocals.  This was taken at the wedding reception for Elton's agent at the Hotel Bel-Air circa 1973-74.  Bruce had arranged vocals for Elton's "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" but who knew they played together at a wedding reception?  I only wish I knew what was on the set-list!
