On Monday 28 May 1979 Elton John made radio history with the first live relay from Russia to Britain on BBC Radio 1. Elton told the Radio Times: “Obviously, I’m looking forward to the trip, although with a certain amount of trepidation as socially and musically it’s a trek into uncharted regions”.

The concert from the Rossya Hall in Moscow was introduced by Andy Peebles.
