Hey, after 7 years it finally hit 1 million views. :)
🥂
Elton's on Tour 2020
Hey, after 2 mouths it finally hit 2 million views.
It always was to me more then a million 🥰😇😍🤩😊
🎷🎼🥂🍻🍺🍾🍷🍸🎂🍹🍸🍾🍾
I love how Elton can just play a G7 chord and everyone in the audience immediately knows what's coming.
You can tell they've been waiting the whole night.
It’s just one chord! 😂
In most live versions, it's actually a Gmaj7 with the added 9th and 13th - I always play it this way, sounds so much fuller.
IKR!
@@JamesonDunphey Saw him, in ATL 9/22/2022.. Opened up with this tune! AWESOME!
This song is unreal.
Fantastic
Aaliyah lshaye Crawford my hole family life you
Captian Fantastic...
No.... it real.. hehe
finally saw him do this live a few years ago! fabulous!!
The intro of this song is so commanding,...genius!
Please, do you know if this guitarist is the same as the original lineup ..?
yes he is
Love it
fool4singing exactly
Amoooooooo
Hey look, a REAL musician!!
KJ Carson who the fuck needs the jonas brothers or one direction when you got this guy
and then some
Remember mercury??
@@flawedpotato3665 lol... you don't need to put other artists down to put one up. I mean, the guys you quote are very good bands, so as Sir Elton here is a great artist
@@kingchris1472 stop I'm gonna cry. I MISS FREDDIE MERCURY SO FUCKING MUCH😭
hes probably played this more than 10.000 times ..still sounds new every time..they call that professional boys and girls .legend
I would empty my bank account to see this guy live
Joe Langley me too, I hope some day we can both see him live!😉😭🙏
Better hurry, he stops touring in 2020.
@@ej3922 to bad he cancelled it due to illness..
SnowmobileFishingTime he rescheduled 2
@@ej3922 His last concert for Oakland Calif, was LAST NIGHT, unfortunately all I had in my checking account was (about less than $ 300.00), plus $60.00 on my credit card for Lyft. Well, from where I live, it would have taken all of the $$ off of my credit card (From the Coliseim to home where I live), so I had to think long & hard before I decided NOT to go through with it, & I DIDN'T go.
This is one of Elton John's best songs
Agreed .
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
Eu sinto felicidade.
i miss his falsetto
Sh0o7erMCTV I don't. His voice is so much more nuanced, fuller, and richer. By far.
Sh0o7erMCTV He did have a great falsetto but I like that he recognizes his limits and doesn't strain his voice and sound horrible. I hate when musicians do that as they get older. Paul McCartney does it and he sounds terrible anymore to begin with.
+mhtube01 Correct, he sounds good here, a lot of hair metal bands still touring try to capture that high note falsetto in their late 40s and it sounds awful.
Yeah tell me about it, I don't know why they even try. You hate to see some of the great singers lose their voices but it happens with age. Although there are some old guys out there that still sound great after all these years.
i can appreciate both voices. he's still awesome
After listening to this song for almost 50 years, it is still my favorite Elton recording. It's just great!
Same!
Best Elton John song ever.
Hands down FAVE!
Yes, I am a huge fan of Elton John, but this I remember from when I was a kid and it has always been my favorite 😊😅🎉😂❤
@@ayndowney9401It's chock ful a'mondegreens.
0:11 seeing an grown old man screaming as a teenager ,you know this man is great.
As a metal head who hasn’t been to a non metal concert, I kept thinking a slow circle pit was gonna form.. but alas it never did
You'd mosh to this? That's awesome, but pls don't do it if you go to an Elton John concert
dude i think the same way lol
You know yourself, the circle pit comes from the vibe you get from the music. As odd as it might seem I'm sure Elton John had plenty of influence in the metal genre. Lol
What i really mean is fuck yeah, bro.
This has '09 As I Lay Dying at Warped Tour vibes. High energy as fuck. Huge metal head myself but also just an all around music lover. Cheers, bud!
One Of The Best Songs Of All Time!!! :)
I agree
He sings better now than he did 50 years ago. such a gifted man.
Agreed his voice only got better with age
The smile on his face as he plays those commanding chords- he knows that entire crowd is eating him up and he loves it. Pure joy
Lol that one chord got more power than the president 😂😂😂😂
He knows it's he that they're coming to see ( A little Billy Joel, EJ won't mind..... )
Elton John did the damn thing, and the band was off the chain. This sing is a classic and never gets old
My favorite version of this song by far
Except for maybe the muppet show
STILL GOT IT. GOOD STUFF
My sweet Daughter took me to seeElton at the Bridgestone in Nashville a few years back ! What a show! ❤️! One of her favorite songs ! She first saw him on Sesame Street 🥰!
When I was 14 This was Julie Lows song.I watched her loose her life by getting run over by a car and she was 14 to.I still love you Julie.Im 60 now and still have hope to see you in heaven Julie.Thanks for this song Elton.
I’m sure you’ll see her in heaven man
@@drowsydaytona Yes everytime, I hear that song, I think of her.It sucked to see her destroyed by that car.She was talking for about 15 min befor passing.It was bad.
Seen Elton 3 times live. In the past decade. First 2 times were twice in 2 weeks. In Toronto and then Ottawa. A couple years later back in Toronto again. Love this song.
J ai eu la chance de le voir dans un concert privé au troubadour (los angeles) en août 1975 concert pour une fondation pour non voyants.
250 personne triées sur le volet. ..il y avait dans le public, Ringo Star, Cher (de sonny ans cher). Ses musiciens étaient au top, lui démentiel. Quel souvenir j avais 17 ans j ai pu entrer grâce au traiteur.....Unique
When I was a kid I used to play this song over and over. I’d sing it at the top of my lungs in my room.
No a nacido ..en decadas..un artista ..de la talla ..de este genio.y aseguro...NO NACERA,...exageradamente .tan...talentoso ..desde México ..Les digo ..
Say what you will, but Bennie brought down the house.
I was feeling kind of tired and down, it's a little gloomy outside and saw this great live version of Bennie and the Jets on a "Videos you might like list". I swear I feel ten years younger. I might just get my fat ass out of this chair and do something. I suppose I'm sharing this, because I wouldn't have thunk a silly nonsense song like this would lift your spirit so effectively. Nice.
Johnnie. Love Elton's music and especially the song Bennie and the Jetts.
That's what beautiful music can do. It's the most powerful thing if it's made right
Wouldn't have *thunk*
Wow 😍
Reading that lifted my spirit so effectively as well
😁
I feel the same. Elton is one of the best😁
Omg! I was at this performance! Amazing!
Your kidding me??!! I only wish!😢😊
This live version is pretty good. He can’t usually capture the studio recording live but this one is pretty good.
Bruhhhh he was killing it on that piano, after he hit them first keys on the piano and looked into the crowd and then that leg got going, i knew this performance was gonna be lit
The crowd got it in one note!
Dave Mitchell They always do! That first chord has become so recognized that everyone knows what song it is. This is by far one of the best songs to hear him and the band play live.
mhtube01 Most kids start with "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" or "Mary Had a Little Lamb.." This was the first song my daughter learned to sing, believe it or not. By the way, she is about to turn 44.
Its iconic
To establish such a well know song that just one chord can let the audience know what you're playing is so amazing.
Y’know, I wonder if anyone else has mentioned this already, but having just seen “Rocketman”-in addition to loving a lot of these songs for decades-has gotten me to thinking about Bernie Taupin. I wonder what it was like being a struggling lyrics writer, hoping you’d just meet a competent composer who would want to turn your ideas into song-and winding up finding a mini pop Mozart who just hit ‘em out of the park again and again, whether they were deep or “silly.” Somehow, I don’t think even winning the lottery would measure up to that experience. I’m not trying to imply that Taupin isn’t gifted in his own right-and clearly Elton loves his work. But still . . . wow.
Bernie was a gifted writer and John was a gifted composer. They needed each other. John couldn’t write lyrics to save his life. Lol
I wonder how many pianos Sir Elton has worn out. ? My favorite song !
Love this track, and what a performance by this humble legend
I love it I love it I love it!!!!!!! This was one of my Mom's favorites. I lost her this past March. When I listen to this she is sooooo with me!
Sad😿 i can feel it
I would empty my bank account to see this guy live
This song brings down the house--it is that good.
I'm probably the only 16 year old who loves Elton John. Rock the fuck on!!!!
I have this CD, it is by far one of the best live recordings I've ever heard. The audio quality is excellent and the balance of the instruments and vocals is perfect. It really captured what it's like to see him in concert, and the audience is LOUD! The CD still runs great too after hundreds of plays! I've also seen him in concert twice, once in 2008 and the last time in 2011 on his 64th birthday and he and his band are one of the two top live performances I've ever seen. The other is Earth, Wind, and Fire.
C'est bon ça! Et ça toujours été bon!
I love how he played one chord and the crowd went wild. :-)
One Of The Best Songs Of All Time!!! :)
Yes he is awesome
TH-cam recommendations never actually fail me.
I'm 65 now grew up in the Bowie /Roxy / Elton era, never saw Elton Live, will live to regret it, what a clown am I
Sound engineer did an amazing job here
I really truly love this song....and the way he plays that damn PIANO 🥰
Was so blessed, to see him, in Atlanta, 9/22/2022! Incredible!!
Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight's hitting something
That's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight
So stick around
You're gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
Uh but they're so spaced out, B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find who's right and who's wrong
Oh Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
Oh but they're so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine, oh
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Oh Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
Oh but they're so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine, oh
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Jets, Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, Bennie
Bennie, Bennie and the Jets
Made in Jamaica. Full reggae flavor with a splash overlay of funk. Delivered to you gift wrapped from a guy on the otherside of the pond.
EJOHN!
This makes me so proud to be British and born in the 70's - Elton, Bowie, Led Zep and Queen, we ruled the world, just enjoy!
💯 🇬🇧😃
sounds so fucking good
I love how he played one chord and the crowd went wild. :-)
i miss his falsetto
How did they even come up with this. Must have been some wild drugs floating around town back in the 70`s.
this might be the only live performance ever i really love. his voice is so flawless
Seiko Shinohara I like you Avatar
Absolutely amazing concert.
I had a daughter at the age of 40. No mistakes. Just surprised
She's been loving your music from her beginning.
Thanks for making her 1st concert perfect.
2 true fans forever.💕
Saw him in ATL., 9/22/2022 Awesome! My son's first concert was, Peter Frampton, he was 2, he's 31 now.
Going to see him in 3 days, so excited
Just saw him in San Antonio a week ago. He killed it as usual.
Amazing artist, singer, songwriter, musician, entertainer and performer.
This is the man.👍👍

Elmo Pereira 66 anos fã de Elton John 🇧🇷. #valeuuunnn* 🙌🏾🤗 🤜🏻🤛🏿
M A G I S T R A L !!!! 😍
Arguably the greatest musical genius of our time. Top 5 for sure.
Can’t believe I miss his last American tour
He played the heck out of that piano 🎹 .. that first piano chord let you know what song coming ..
HE’S A GENIUS WRITING THIS SONG! 😀😀
Coming from a Yank, I shutter to think of a world without British Rock!
will never get old. great beat, good song all around
exceptional talent!! Ive listened to this man's voice for 40 yrs or more, always brings a smile and happiness to me. love you Sir Elton John.
This performance is badass!!!! One of my favorite songs of my entire life!!! I hope my disembodied spirit can hear this song at will throughout eternity!! Luv ya’ EJ!!!✌🏾
One of THE best songs from Sir Elton... Listened to this when it first came out in a local bar with one of the high school boys!! Great music and while Elton is coming to Ottawa in the next little while, guess I'll have to just listen and jam with him on youtube!!! Thanks for posting this video... made my day...
Hey look, a REAL musician!!
Who’s here because their happy rocket mans coming out
This is one of Elton John's best songs
Azota el piano y hace vibrar esas notas con pasión!!! ❤❤❤
Great. Singer. Of. All. Time❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This version is much better than the original.
One of the best live performances i have ever seen of him
I got to see “Elton John and his Million Dollar Piano” right before he stopped performing live in LV at the coliseum at Caesars and it was BY FAR best performance I’ve ever been to… yeah he was 73 but he was awesome as ever ❤❤❤❤
This song brings down the house--it is that good.
This is a GREAT song. Went to see ELTON JOHN in 1973/74? @ the SPECTRUM in PHILLY. My buddy Mark's dad got 2 tickets from his boss I had just bought my first car so we went. It was the First concert we ever went to. ELTON & BILLY JEAN KING were hitting tennis balls out to the audience, promoting the Philadelphia Freedoms tennis team..... Was Great...
Imagine hitting only one cord and the entire audience knows what song you're playing
Elton John is the most skillful and master play of the piano. His sings has always been the love and joy of my existence. His music transforms you. Love u Elton!!
He is my favourite
Hands down favorite Sir Elton John song. Even more than Rocketman and damn you can tell he truly loves performing. He looks so content up there on that piano
As much as this sounds 1 million times better than his performances on AT microphones, EJ is really an SM7 kind of vocalist. Big but perfectly suited to his vocal style.
Class track
So fucking good. In my opinion the best version of Benny and the jets and my second favorite concert. My favorite was royal opera house 2002 with full orchestra
Wonder what Elton thought when he first got those lyrics from Bernie? I heard Elton writes his music to lyrics quickly. Great song!
I was an 11 year old kid running around Grossmont Junior College in San Diego, playing pinball in the student lounge, listening to Elton sing Bennie & the Jets.
The song makes forces me to remember drinking cold Dr Pepper soda while trying my best to be cool around the college students.
Going to Los Angeles later this year to see Elton live. Can't wait !
Saw this performed on the original Yellow Brick Road tour...the whole house rocked with joy-- full house lights on!
So great see all 20,000 happy faces swaying with the clap in a loving groove.
One word to describe Elton John brilliant
the absolute best to ever do it!
Adorooo essa música ❤️ Lembro-me da escola, dos meus amigos, do meu paquera 🤗Love this song. I remember school, friends and my crush💞🍀💐🌻
I first heard this on the on a R n B station in the 70 's it still a cut rock on Elton John.
I still remember way back when this song first hit the airwaves. It was HOT! Then when he appeared on Soul Train, I went NUTZ! Elton's portfolio of songs are timeless. Still get chills when I hear this. Great stuff!
Absolutely fantastic always has been always will be !!
This was my song in "Desert Storm" looking at F-15's, F-16's and such. And a female ground crew member on the news back then.
Elton John is such a cool guy and real sharp dresser , Neat Guy totally!
I’ve never had this many goose bumps !!!!!
I saw him twice years ago. One of the best sounding concerts I've ever seen/heard. That's one good thing about being old...we got to see all the good bands.
Before I knew of Elton I heard this song and saved it on my favorites list. I absolutely loved this song growing up. Years later, one of my best friends passed away, heartbroken I came across an old video of her listening to this song... One of her last memories made here on earth. I will forever love this song.
Esse inicio é o verdadeiro show. Linda demais essa musica . Amooooooooo
Even though he can’t hit falsettos anymore, Elton’s singing ability has not stoop once.
All I know we better enjoy this great fantastic artist while we can. Much Love. Long live Elton John 😎♥️
this track sums up my mum and her second husband.
they were light years ahead in terms of glamour and happiness.
they WERE the seventies!
and this song captured their vibe.the whole aliveness of those days.
an all time wonder of a tune.
was Elton crying there at the end?
i was.x
