Listen to the piano here... The voice is absolutely top notch (one of his best vocal performances), but by god listen to that piano. That melody could be released as a single on it's own.
I was there! By that time I had literally every LP released - spent all my family's money and sold my LEVI's jacket to get them. Can you believe that I didn't want to go listen to Elton without the "proper band"? And then the magic happened... Oh, and Roy was there too, on drums. It was so good, so unexpected. Thank you, Elton)
21 мая 1979 года начались советские гастроли Элтона Джона. Решение о них принималось на уровне отдела культуры ЦК КПСС на Старой площади, а уж потом его пригласил "Госконцерт". Возможно, это произошло по инерции....Сэр , позже Элтон Джон великий певец!!!это даже советкая номенклатура поняла..кстати он тогда ещё не был Сэром))..Приклоняюсь перед этим талантом. У меня лишь два кумира Сэр Элтон Джон и Джеки Чан.
@@MusicCoversByEssie It isnt the complete concert.. Example YOUR SONG is not on the 2 CD set as well as a few other songs..I dont have any idea why they cut some songs on the upcoming Double CD...
I remember how popular Elton John was in the 1970s, and now, here in the year 2018, I find myself wondering where the time has gone. As a foster child growing up, I wrote several songs. I love this one "Your Song," and how everyone in the audience feels like the song us for them personally. I always wanted to meet Elton John to see if he would help me with just one song I derived. He has write over 100, I heard. If I could just have one thsy would be popular I would be happy. Not being too far behind Elton in age. I'm getting older too, but I still have this vision of meeting Elton and making this song popular with his help.I'm going to try, one more time, to find his manager. Listen for the sing to come out. It's called "Long Time Ago." I might try to squeeze in a second song called, I saw her picking cherries...."
This is one of those songs where a person always has someone in mind to be the "you" in "Your Song." And this is such a great register and performance of this song. Early versions from the mid 70s could be a little sickly, and later versions are too played out and non emotional. This is Elton at what I consider his artistic peak, transforming an innocent and sweet song into a complete experience through a more complex and frilly piano arrangement and very gentle and soft vocals. These Russian concerts were really Elton taking his and Bernie's music to new levels of artistry, and the second half with Ray Cooper adds a lot of depth and enjoyment with two virtuosos dueling it out and having fun.

My soul will cover with the mysterious meditation while watching and listening to this video . From Tokyo in the dizzying Megalopolis ablaze with neon Which national are you watching this video ？
It's a little bit funny This feeling inside I'm not one of those who can Easily hide I don't have much money But boy if I did I'd buy a big house where We both could live. So excuse me forgetting But these things I do See I've forgotten if They're green or they're blue Anyway the thing is, What I really mean, Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen And you can tell everybody This is your song It maybe quite simple but Now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind That I put down in words How wonderful life is Now you're in the world If I was a sculptor But then again no Or a girl who makes potions in A traveling show I know it's not much but It's the best I can do. My gift is my song and This one's for you. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh And you can tell everybody This is your song It may be quite simple but Now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind That I put down in words How wonderful life is Now you're in the world.
Notice how all songs on this russia performance seemed to be a tone higher than the studio recordings ..I wonder if he performed it that way or if it was mixed that way ?...either way fantastic...
The crowd is fucking spellbound. Everyone is being touched by this "gay" man's music. Wow. Everyone, embrace the beauty of beautiful music and songs. Even gay dudes write beautiful music, or their helpers--- Bernie Taupin, wrote great songs.
Do you base your statements about me on the evidence or on your anger like an ignorant child? I just asked you a question and what all this overreaction and conclusions are about? Just because to prove me that you are moron?
He quit wearing them during the 80s. He didn’t need glasses, it was part of his persona. He wore glasses so much that he eventually would need glasses later on in his life.
I was lucky in 1979 in Leningrad, USSR - listened to the whole concert in one breath! Thank you for the happy day, Elton!
wat? so u were part of the people picked by the USSR government?
@Vladimir lenin it was exactly how it worked. The ussr government only gave tickets to checked people, im not really saying that thats a crime.
Valeriy Leschenko awesome
Счастливчик!
Офигенно, повезло очень

One of the best Elton John's live, in my opinion! ❣️ Beautiful voice in all concert 🤩
He looks Absolutely adorable during this time!!!! He's magnificent!!!!! What an incredible artist and human being!!!!

Elton at his best ! His piano playing is magic.
Honestly, this whole concert needs to be remastered and produced for DVD and digital music download. I just keep waiting for it.
Could not agree more, Elton was really impressive in this concert, one of the most vocally impressive concerts he's done.
The whole concert is over 2 1./2 hours...finding the full film reels and remaster /edit would be a major task...
Charlotte Balfour, wow, that’s awesome! Thanks for letting me know.

Très belle chanson !!! Thank You Elton !!! Great !!!
Ale różne tempa...coś niesamowitego - na przestrzeni lat za każdym razem brzmi to magicznie.

A wonderful musical genius
I want to finish my last life under cherry blossom in full bloom while listening to this music . 🍎
Brilliant song, and one I love to sing , Thank you Elton :)
Incredible piano playing and singing.
Elton at his best- he and Bernie = genius. I agree with a previous post- so much emotion and tenderness in his performance.
1:10 ese señor le pone tanto sentimiento. Es inevitable no ponerse emotivo al escucharlo...
And You Can Tell Evebody
This is your song😍❤
oh god it's too late at night to be watching these, I'M SO EMOTIONAL. he's so perfect.
What do you know about perfection? Are you imperfect? How you imperfect being can know about perfection?

Cantor raiz kkkkk

Interpretação maravilhosa!💋
I want to live in peace and friendship - WITH Rossija!!!

Elton John need a movie like Freddie Mercury.
There is one
Brilliant

It's a little bit funny
This feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can
Easily hide
I don't have much money
But boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where
We both could live.
So excuse me forgetting
But these things I do
See I've forgotten if
They're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is,
What I really mean,
Yours are the sweetest eyes
I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody
This is your song
It maybe quite simple but
Now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
Now you're in the world
If I was a sculptor
But then again no
Or a girl who makes potions in
A traveling show
I know it's not much but
It's the best I can do.
My gift is my song and
This one's for you.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And you can tell everybody
This is your song
It may be quite simple but
Now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
Now you're in the world.

":D"
jaxflfreebird Dude calm the fuck down. I mean you could have left out gay.

Elton looks like Lars Ulrich
Where is his trademark glasses? I guess only in Russia he had to wear contacts LOL!
he quit wearing glasses in 1978.
Matt Yolo I don’t think you’ve seen him recently
I didn't ever say that he didn't start wearing them again lol
He quit wearing them during the 80s. He didn’t need glasses, it was part of his persona. He wore glasses so much that he eventually would need glasses later on in his life.
@@Alanwpeterson92 No, he has always needed prescription glasses

This is a great show but it really should be pitch corrected
This really needs to get put at the right speed and pitch. Sorry, it sounds ridiculous.
Them people have such emotionless faces. I wonder what was going through their heads
