On the back of the success of the album, Made in England, Elton John went out on tour to promote it. The 1995 leg of the tour covered fifteen European countries, but strangely missing out John's homeland of the United Kingdom.[1][2][3] John with his band then crossed the Atlantic Ocean for an extensive tour of the United States, playing forty-two concerts in just under three months,[4][5][6][7] including seven sold out concerts at New York City's legendary Madison Square Garden, which has become a staple venue for any Elton John tour.[8]
