Here and There, released in 1976, is a live album by British singer-songwriter Elton John; it is his fourteenth official album release. The title refers to the two concerts represented on the album: "Here" is a concert recorded at the Royal Festival Hall in London during the summer of 1974; "There" is a concert recorded at New York City's Madison Square Garden on 28 November 1974.
The album was at the time issued in part to fulfill a final contractual obligation John owed to DJM Records, prior to having his records released by his own Rocket Record Company label, starting with Blue Moves in 1976.
Music journalist Paul Gambaccini wrote the liner notes to the original LP, which were included in the booklet that came with the 1995 remastered edition.
This album was also released under the titles Here and Now and London & New York.
For the 1995 CD reissue, original producer Gus Dudgeon remixed both shows and expanded the original single LP's song list for a two-CD set. While "Take Me to the Pilot" and "Your Song" appear on both discs, Dudgeon said in the liner notes that this was intentional, since both versions of each song are very different from each other, and in his opinion merited inclusion. Digital editing software allowed Dudgeon and his editing and mastering team to, as he put it in the new CD's liner notes by John Tobler, "fix the occasional musical mistake." In the US, it was certified gold in May 1976 and platinum in August 1998 by the RIAA.
The CD reissue of the "There" disc also includes the tracks John and the band performed with special guest John Lennon, who made his last public concert appearance at the Madison Square Garden Thanksgiving night show. The tracks were left off the original vinyl version, though "I Saw Her Standing There" was released as the B-side of the "Philadelphia Freedom" single, and all three songs were later released on a DJM-issued EP.
All songs written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin, except where noted.
