Background The recording was taken from a live WABC-FM radio broadcast on 17 November 1970, hence the album's title. According to John, a live album was never planned as a release.https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/elton-john-reissuing-greatest-live-lp-for-record-store-day-w475107 Elton John to Reissue 'Greatest' Live LP for Record Store Day Rolling Stone Kreps, Daniel 6 April 2017 2 July 2018 Recordings of the broadcast, however, were popular among bootleggers which, according to John's producer, Gus Dudgeon, eventually prompted the record label to release it as an album.https://www.mixonline.com/recording/gus-dudgeon-1942-2002-364951 Gus Dudgeon, 1942-2002 October 2002 2 July 2018 It has been said that the bootleg release of the entire 60-minute broadcast rather than the 48 minutes included in the official release significantly cut into the US sales of the live album.Heylin Clinton Clinton Heylin Bootleg: The Secret History of the Other Recording Industry St. Martin's Griffin 1996 New York 978-0-312-14289-6 66 However, the entire concert was an 80-minute affair, and double-LPs containing the entire concert were more common than those containing only 60 minutes. Another contributing factor to the original album's soft sales could have been the glut of Elton John product on the market at the time. John also had in release two full studio albums (Elton John and Tumbleweed Connection) and a movie soundtrack (Friends) when the live LP was issued. Nonetheless, it became the fourth of John's records to simultaneously land in the top 100 of the Billboard 200, making him the first act to do so since The Beatles. According to longtime New York City radio personality Dave Herman (who can be heard at the beginning and end of the album), John cut his hand at some point during the performance, and by the end of the show, the piano keys were covered with blood. John and his band performed 13 songs during the radio broadcast. The original album included only six of the songs; a seventh, "Amoreena," appeared as a bonus track on the album's 1996 CD reissue. The other six performances remained officially unreleased until 2017. They were "I Need You to Turn To", "Your Song", "Country Comfort", "Border Song", "Indian Sunset" and "My Father's Gun". Elton John has stated in several interviews that he believes that this recording is his best live performance. He has also cited the album as a great showcase for the musicianship of drummer Nigel Olsson and bassist Dee Murray. It is also the only officially released example of what John's live band sounded like prior to the arrival of guitarist Davey Johnstone, who was not a member until the release of Honky Château in 1972. To commemorate the 10th Record Store Day, on 22 April 2017, John served as the first-ever worldwide Record Store Day Legend and released an expanded, double-vinyl version of the album. Retitled 17-11-70+, the release reinstates seven additional songs from the concert, making it the most complete official edition of the show available in any format. "Amoreena," previously available on the 1996 CD reissue, makes its first appearance on vinyl.http://www.eltonjohn.com/elton-celebrates-10th-record-store-day-with-17-11-70/ Elton Celebrates 10th Record Store Day with '17-11-70+' - Elton John Elton John 2 July 2018 Track listing All songs by Elton John and Bernie Taupin, except where noted.

This version is also different from the earlier US releases in that album producer Gus Dudgeon remixed the tracks to create a notably different sound from the original US LP mixes. In addition to level changes, Dudgeon's version also added some echo and other effects not present in the earlier mixes.

It presents a concert with a somewhat different flow, and although crossfades of the Uni/MCA/Mercury issues present applause where it did not occur in the original concert, the setlist as presented on these bootleg albums does seem to clear up a few problematic references in John's comments.
