In May 1977, Elton John took the stage at Londons iconic Rainbow Theatre with Ray Cooper for a six show residency. These performances were the first Elton-and-Ray only shows and featured the first live debuts of tracks Roy Rogers, Cage the Songbird, Idol and I Feel Like a Bullet (In the Gun of Robert Ford).
