Tour

The North American leg of the Breaking Hearts Tour began on 17 August 1984, at the ASU Activity Center in Tempe and ended 62 shows later at the USF Sun Dome in Tampa. The set list began with Tiny Dancer and included songs from Elton’s latest album, including "Li’l Frigerator", "Restless", "Sad Songs " and, occasionally, "Who Wears These Shoes".
One night in Madison Square Garden, Elton failed to stand up and was administered oxygen for half a minute; he went on with the show. "Bennie And The Jets", as usual, had snippets of "In The Mood", "Baby, You're a Rich Man", "Chattanooga Choo Choo" and "Charlie Brown Theme Song"; "Rocket Man", for its part, had "Close Encounters Theme" as a snippet by Davey Johnstone.
