THE TOUR
In December 1982, Elton John embarked on a remarkable concert residency at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, England. The residency was titled "Elton John's Xmas at the Odeon" and it consisted of 16 shows performed over 16 consecutive days. The concerts took place from December 9th to December 24th, 1982.

The residency at the Hammersmith Odeon was a special event for Elton John and his fans, as it allowed him to showcase his talent and perform some of his biggest hits in an intimate and festive setting during the holiday season.

The setlist for these shows likely included a mix of Elton John's classic songs along with some of his newer material from the early 1980s. Hits like "Your Song," "Rocket Man," "Candle in the Wind," and "Bennie and the Jets" were probably part of the repertoire.

Elton John's performances during the "Xmas at the Odeon" residency received positive reviews from both critics and fans alike. The concerts were known for their energetic and engaging performances, as well as Elton's unique showmanship and charismatic stage presence.
