    I love that Bernie is just up there chillin, being present. I like to imagine he wisely understands how much that act means to us. We need him up there soaking up our sincere love and appreciation. I hope they felt it.

      So emotional. Bernie wrote such incredible, memorable, meaningful lyrics, and Elton elevated them with his music and vocals to ever higher heights. What a creative tour de force ❤🎉

    Funny, I grew up a big metal head, Sabbath, Priest, Slayer, Metallica, and later onto Korn and who I consider the greatest band pound for pound currently, TOOL. But what got me started as a young boy was Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. I would play this album over and over still to this day one of my all time favorites. When I watched Elton finish with this song, this big tough guy, was in his living room with tears pouring from his eyes. Just a beautiful ending, two great individuals who have given us some of the greatest music that will last forever.

      You can be a slayer, venom, darkthrone, bathory or whatever metal fan you are. Elton john will always be brilliant along with Bernie Taupin. Then comes the rest of the music world

    Bernie Taupin's beautiful lyrics have always AMAZED me! It's so good to see his timeless lyric genius being celebrated. Leaning on Elton's piano, so many emotions running across his face... and to his wife and daughter in the audience... incredible! His words more than anything are what has always captured my heart. Bravo to them both!

    A lyricist watching his words come to life in music... that's poetic.

    How beautiful. Made me a little emotional. I have the album. I was so young. Now the problems of aging, losing family and friends. This song took me back to younger, carefree times. Thanks Bernie and Elton.

  • @ktracy9241

    Side note-I highly recommend reading Bernie’s memoir, Scattershot. Truly serendipitous how the stars aligned to bring he and Reg together.

    @Yoyo-ug7wt 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +22

    The greatest pop songwriting duo that ever existed. I bought all of their records when I was growing up. I remember playing Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy over and over and over and could never get enough of it.

    God, he sounds so so good. A shamelessly romantic love song and eternal.

  • @iggyp4390
    @iggyp4390 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +25

    Wow. Elton sounds fantastic and I like that he kept this performance so soft. I wonder if Bernie truly wrote “Your Song” for Elton-not necessarily as a romantic piece, but as a promise to his best friend who he knew wanted so desperately to reach great and seemingly impossible heights. Their dreams depended on each other’s talents, and it’s fascinating to think that this song-Bernie’s “gift”-was the key that unlocked the door to all the things he was daydreaming about when he sat on the roof and kicked up the moss.
    Congrats Elton and Bernie! :)

    • @claudiacarlson30
      @claudiacarlson30 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Until reading your comment, I wouldn't have considered Bernie writing this not in a romantic way... but like you said, for Elton. 🙂I fully believe you are right. It makes perfect sense. You could see Bernies true affection for Elton all over his face, and the lyrics of course. Beautiful!

  • @LouisCoupe
    @LouisCoupe 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +17

    one of Elton's finest renditions of this song in years. so lovely to see Bernie on stage to soak this in. legends.

    77 Years old....and he still sounds amazing!!! His voice is still strong, and full...and he can still power up into the higher registers...clean and clear! Easily one of the best ever...and best singer songwriter duo's ever!

    • @elainemeyer5062
      @elainemeyer5062 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      👍 I’m about 70 now, and also grew up with Elton’s music (and Bernie’s lyrics) - quite a 🌟 team they’ve been for OVER 5 decades! I think that Elton’s voice AND additional 🎹 playing he’s incorporated in more recent years (even this one shows the difference) has made him even better than way back! * Saw his ‘Farewell’ concerts 2X’s within several months of each other (‘22 or ‘23), and thought he was fabulous in both, as were his other ‘regular’ bandmates 👏!

    • @jeffreyfeet
      @jeffreyfeet 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      He can still sing. Yes in concert after 3 hours his voice gets tired m but he can still put across the song. His voice has changed. He is 77. Sorry we age and so do our voices. As for his physical appearance elton fluctuates in weight. Big deal. Get over it

    • @GLopezMad
      @GLopezMad 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

Elton and Bernie's music is the catalog of my life........

    Sounding really good. First LP i bought was Tumbleweed Conection. Went on to get them all. I'm 70 this year still playing them. Shook Elton's hand at a concert in Brisbane 1983 i think. Congratulations Elton and Bernie.

Congrats to Bernie and Elton ❤ This song has been a staple for over 50+ years but is only now getting awards and recognition… come on, really??? 😮 Bernie and Elton…one of the biggest selling music writing and lyricist duos ever!!! So sad that Bernie is only now getting recognition for his part…WTF…really???? Elton has never, ever, made secret that Bernie was his partner in music and a factor in why Elton was a success, in fact he shouted it from the rooftops, so why the delay in Bernie’s recognition as an amazing lyricist??? The music industry really needs a damned kick up the butt!!!!
