 Jeffrey Lee <b>Elton John in Video for Sasson Apparel</b> By Pamela G. Hollie The New York Times - August 14, 1984 Sasson Industries, an apparel maker, has rushed onto the air with a $5 million television campaign featuring the popular rock singer Elton John. The commercial, shot in Australia and recut in New York, is a rock video. It will be used to introduce Sasson's new fall theme, ''Sasson says so much.'' The theme is being introduced through a redubbed version of Mr. John's hit single ''Sad Songs (Say So Much).'' The television campaign will also air in Canada and other countries through December to coincide with Mr. John's 44-city tour in the United States and Canada. Sasson is sponsoring the tour. This is the first time Sasson has used music videos in its advertising. It is, however, the company's third music-related campaign. Two years ago, Sasson used country-and-western singer Roy Orbison in back-to- school television commercials. For spring 1983, Sasson used music by Ellie Greenwich, a 1950's rock-and- roll singer. ''Elton really brings home our demographic reach,'' said Stephen Wayne, president of licensing for Sasson Industries. The company's target market is men and women between the ages of 14 and 40. Sasson, a conglomerate with $700 million in annual sales and 35 licensing agreements, is best known as a jeans maker. ___________________________________________________ <b>Elton John: Flash On the Final Tour</b> By Mike Joyce The Washington Post - October 18, 1984 Elton John's current tour carries two names: "The Breaking Hearts Tour," after the title of his latest album, and the "Last Tour" - a reference to John's plans to quit touring the United States after this go-around. If John really plans to hang up his rock 'n' roll shoes (to say nothing of his wardrobe), he's not about to slide gently into semiretirement. At the Capital Centre last night, it was obvious that John wants to conclude this chapter of his career with a bang, not a whimper. As if to stress the point, he tossed his piano stool offstage during "Bennie and the Jets" and often pounded away at the keyboard, sometimes on his knees. The singer made his entrance looking like the proverbial rhinestone cowboy. As nearly 17,000 fans cheered wildly, the British rocker walked on stage wearing a white Stetson hat and a baggy western-cut gold lamé tuxedo that glowed in the dark. Backed by his quartet, John spent the next two hours concentrating on his biggest hits. He genuinely seemed to get as much of a kick out of performing rockers like "Kiss the Bride" as he did in the old days. The ballads, particularly "Candle in the Wind" and the apt "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me," were delivered sincerely. Elton John Nov 04, 2022

 beyondthepalace Wild night indeed. Halloween at a MM show. The night started off with a bomb scare, which kept an extremely long line of people dressed up and ready to go, standing outside on the boardwalk on a very cold night. People were Halloween ready and dressed freaky, to be sure. NY Loose started their set as people were allowed to enter, many missed most of their set. Helmet was amazing! Manson delivered! An amazing set, including the lights going out along with the sound of a gun going off to end the show. Only to hear evil laughing as the house lights hit. Amazing show all around.

 Dale McGarry Something's not quite right here because I saw them in, I want to say, the latter part of the summer of 1992. They were playing by themselves in a little bar outside of Birmingham Alabama. The bar was a little hole in the wall, it was like a converted 7-Eleven that was now a bar and there was probably 100 people in the place and about 40 of us were paying attention to our guys everybody else was just going around handling bar business. We rode almost 3 hours to get there and stood literally two to three feet from them the entire show. Of course they weren't on a stage you know they were playing on a little raised 8-in platform-- rocking chair, spoons, washboard, the whole nine, harmonica! Now nothing is rock solid of any of this--the date, the location, even the year, it could have been 91 but I'm pretty sure it was 92. But what I'm definitely sure about is seeing them in that little hole in the wall bar because I'll never forget it: one, because of them and two, because I met the girl that I should have spent the rest of my life with that night. We stood shoulder to shoulder in front of them screaming at the top of our lungs what we considered might be the words to the songs, sweating our asses off, barely communicating with each other but both of us knowing that we were doing a love at first sight thing. Unfortunately, the girl that I came with was sitting in a bar stool 30 ft behind us like it was church and to my dismay we took her car to the show. This girl was one of those few that you're supposed to recognize that it could change everything and don't let anything stop it from happening but I didn't know that at the time. I don't even know what her name was but I've looked back on it so, so many times because I was literally in love with her from first sight! She was hot and hot sweaty and she loved CMP as much as I did! Who knows what would have happened but at that moment in my life she was who I was supposed to be with and the relationship with the other girl didn't make it to the end of the year.
