Tour Elton and his band recorded the Blue Moves'' album (and No. 1 hit single Don't Go Breaking My Heart) in Toronto in March 1976, and began touring the UK on 29 April in Leeds. This leg of the tour, which included a midnight show in Glasgow, ended on 4 June in Cardiff. On 29 June 1976 in Landover, Maryland, the eastern half of the US got the newly named "Louder Than Concorde (But Not Quite As Pretty)" tour, a testament to the onslaught Elton and his ferocious band were delivering to a country in the midst of its Bicentennial celebration. On 4 July 1976, Elton played Schaefer Stadium near Boston. Billie Jean King sang backing vocals and Elton slipped Holiday Inn in to the 20-song set list, a unique event on this tour. Part-way through this leg of the tour, Ray Cooper fell ill and was forced to miss roughly a dozen shows. Ever the punsmith, Elton declared that the missing percussionist was "Ray Cooper-ating from surgery." The tour concluded in mid-August with a record-breaking seven sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden. For these shows, Elton and the band shared the stage with the New York Community Choir and performed encores with Kiki Dee, Alice Cooper and the drag queen, Divine. As this week was winding down, Elton notified the band that he was taking a break from touring and the group soon disbanded.
