I apologize for messing with your video analytics. I've probably watched this video 10,000 times over the last 9 years. I love it just as much in 2023 as I did in 2014. This is probably one of the best pieces of art ever created!
I have to add to 'Watch List' for this faultless and joyful Rocketman rendition over the years. This cover is simply ... out of this world and a giant leap for Rocketmankind!
I was raised in Bluegrass a genre my daddy loved and led me to love. He played every string instrument there was and gave me my love for music. And I love these guys. Makes my heart smile and brings back wonderful amazing memories.
Just wonderful, truly fantastic when I feel down, heavy at work I listen to this and the bounce comes back into my step. Thank you all at Iron Horse and glad tidings.
Me and my husband have been rocking our 9 month old to sleep to this song every night the last couple weeks. It’s got a great rocking beat. Great cover
Fun fact: For every four members any bluegrass band has, one is legally required to work for the county or township. Volunteer fire counts as long as he has a mustache.
Pretty old video now, but I love this. Plus, it really makes you think about how sure, an astronaut is a prestigious job but at the end of the day, they are just like us in that they miss their home, and have to fix stuff and keep boring records but in space.
This is one of the best covers to any song I’ve ever heard. In fact, I prefer it over the original, which I am also very fond of. I do not often listen to music, nor do I have a propensity to listen to this genre, but on the occasion that I choose to listen to something, I am usually paying special attention to signs of musical and artistic mastery, to which I often feel as though musical pieces may have been better if certain aspects were modified in some way. This is a top-tier musical performance, which I would say is as close to perfect as I’ve ever heard before. I simply had no interest in critique. It’s wonderful. I wept @1:59 from the blend of harmonics and instrumentation. Credit to the artist and sound mixer. An outstanding performance.
@@hermes9220 If he has Bible teachings up on youtube please give me the like....I am sure he gives a good sermon if he puts that level of effort into playing that well.
I watched this shortly after published back in 2014 and have watched it almost every week since. Cannot get enough of this song and Iron Horse has become a regular part of my rotation now. I am not a huge music fan (I listen to very little anymore), but everything these guys do just really gets to me.
Funny, it seems their focus is on Metallica covers yet I think this is their best song. Great job fellas. ( not saying the Metallica covers are bad, this one just blows them away) Well done!
Do you know why bluegrass musicians don't smile while they play???............. Because they take their music VERY SERIOUSLY!!!! ( That's an old Bill Monroe joke )
I feel ya Bear Cat and if i'm being honest I probably do listen to this at least every other day. In fact I listen to Iron Horse quite regularly and this is coming from someone who was raised on 70's rock.
This the first song I had every heard from Iron Horse. Found myself dancing around the man cave!! lol Just an unbelievable cover of an awesome classic.
I have never posted a comment on youtube before, but this song right here, definitely deserves one. I am very impressed! I dont typically like bluegrass, but y'all are some extremely talented men! I adored your cover quite possibly more than the original. You got a fan in me for sure!!!
Someone said that this was amazing. That is a tired overworked adjective but is entirely appropriate. I am listening to this for the third time today. Love it!!!
this is the theme tune to my holiday in New Zealand March 17. this was and is my go to track once we parked up at night. brings back so many memories of good times. THANK YOU.
These guys are great and I love the way they record. Just condenser mics, no plugging in and mixing. You've got to respect that even if you hate the music.
You guys do this with so much respect and class.... - Your covers rock, but this one is by far my favorite... Your harmonies are spot on, and it's just so well produced! - Thanks for your AMAZING music, and keep on bluegrassin'.....!!!
I've just watched several of your videos and only one word comes to mind, Awesome! You guys are fantastic! I'm totally loving the spin you are putting on these songs. But Rocket Man, this one almost gave me chills, it's been a favorite song of mine since it first came on the radio. I see Elton John liked it and I'm glad he did. You fellas knocked it out of the park. Thank you for your music and please make more!
Superb. A dying art... We will stay alive! Keep it going folks. --> I'm a NYLI fiddler, I know the pain. Been listening to this for years. Love when it comes up in my playlist.
This song means a lot to me one of my buddies passed away in 2010 in a mining accident along with his uncle and his cousin .. they used to listen to these great tunes.. may god bless the 25 men who lost their lives on that day..:(

I can't say this about a lot of video but the more I watch this the more I like it.
Yes, -Sir !!
me too! :))
This is my first time hearing this. They did a phenomenal job!
I have to add to 'Watch List' for this faultless and joyful Rocketman rendition over the years.
This cover is simply ... out of this world and a giant leap for Rocketmankind!
This is off the chain. Beautiful harmony
Love this take on a classic Elton masterpiece... never gets old
Ive always loved this song, but this cover is absolutely the best!!!
Four middle aged men putting other bands to shame by sheer talent. This is how it's done. Brilliant and always makes me sing along.
Some truly killer harmonies. Seriously talented guys.
I was raised in Bluegrass a genre my daddy loved and led me to love. He played every string instrument there was and gave me my love for music. And I love these guys. Makes my heart smile and brings back wonderful amazing memories.
yo....the banjo is the most underrated instrument.ever....the speed and rhythm in which they play.....lit!
My brother and I love bluegrass also love the soggy bottom boys in the George Clooney movie Oh brother where are you?
Can't stop listening to Rocket Man I'm addicted to listening to this song. Iron horse rule definitely better than original sorry Elton.
I absolutely love this version.
This is the first time i have heard these Guys. BLOWN AWAY!
Just wonderful, truly fantastic when I feel down, heavy at work I listen to this and the bounce comes back into my step. Thank you all at Iron Horse and glad tidings.
I'm the same. It gives you a pep in Yr step
I’ve listened to this multiple times and just can’t get enough! This is an excellent bluegrass version of a classic. Thanks you.
Yes sir ree
YES YES YES AMEN
Me and my husband have been rocking our 9 month old to sleep to this song every night the last couple weeks. It’s got a great rocking beat. Great cover
this is unbelievably good , fantastic voices as well as the playing
The absolute best version hands down
My god, the vocals on this version are outstanding! The harmonies couldn't possibly be any tighter. Amazing!
This is excellent musicianship, you can tell they've been playing together for a long time.
Perfect takeoff, perfect landing. Truly inspiring. Thanks men.
Fun fact: For every four members any bluegrass band has, one is legally required to work for the county or township. Volunteer fire counts as long as he has a mustache.
How could we not like such musicianship? bravo.
Pretty old video now, but I love this. Plus, it really makes you think about how sure, an astronaut is a prestigious job but at the end of the day, they are just like us in that they miss their home, and have to fix stuff and keep boring records but in space.
I am from Brazil. I'm impressed! I'm Amazed! This sound mix took me! My best find of this year. Congratulations! Iron Horse and Elton John!!!!
If you like a good sound mix, check out Chris Isaak. Even his live mixes are amazing.
This is one of the best covers to any song I’ve ever heard.

Yep, I agree. This cover is a giant leap for Rocketmankind! I love it.
I agree. The mastery of these instrumentals and vocals are very moving to the soul. Amazing how talented these folks are.
This is one of the best covers I have ever heard. By anyone. Of anything.
10 years already. Wow. I hope time has been good to you all.
Just makes me feel wonderful, what talent and voices , greetings from Ireland, THANK YOU
You guys perform some great covers. You add soul to the songs. Thank you for brightening our days.
That banjo is amazing! Thank you.
The vocals and harmony are just riveting...
I love Bluegrass and I love Elton John. This is like when chocolate ran into Peanut Butter and we all got Reeses.
KodenameKrusty I know right they are freakin phenomenal
Peak simile game by the way; that was very good
They go to my church he preaches
KodenameKrusty if you ran into Elton John you wouldn't get peanut butter and chocolate, but you could get your fudge packed

TOTALLY totally agree YumFuz, and it would be even better if they'd just bring the bass solo up a little louder.........smidgeon
kev Agreed.
Idk if it beats elton...
Agreed. This is definitely their best cover.
Not just playing the song. But making it brand new . Sweet guys
I love when an authentic band puts a twist on a classic. Commemorating a legend in the best way possible :D
There isn't anything better than this cover. I'm amazed.
Fantastic rendition of one of my favorite songs! Thanks guys!

A true bluegrass band.... not a smile among them, fantastic.
Got that high lonesome sound.
Do you know why bluegrass musicians don't smile while they play???............. Because they take their music VERY SERIOUSLY!!!!
( That's an old Bill Monroe joke )
Truth at it's best !
Pin this

These guys would be a great band for any occasion. The kind of happy music that leaves you a little melancholy.
This just doesn't get old.
This just stays awesome.
The Petersens don't get old either.
I never get tired of hearing your rendition of this! I could listen to it every day.
Keep up the good work!
Bear Cat amen brother!

Incredible, one of the best renditions, ever...Ever!

Wow, fantastic! First time I heard you guys, love it. As fast as it may be, I think bluegrass is very calming music. Great job!
It's the dependability of that bass line - 'boome buume boome buume boome boome...'
One of my favorite songs. Well done men.
Beautiful , well done!!

This is a perfect bridge between my love of folk music and mainstream classics. I'd love to hear some of your original music, too!
Amazing harmonies such a tight performance :)
This song means a lot to me one of my buddies passed away in 2010 in a mining accident along with his uncle and his cousin .. they used to listen to these great tunes.. may god bless the 25 men who lost their lives on that day..:(
