Ok this is insane. I mean his performance gets crazier and more brilliant as the song goes on. But leading his band in a duck crawl and then lying underneath the piano while still playing it is a proper finish for frenetic performance like this one.
We may not all have this kind of talent....but man am I glad that this man shared his talent with the entire world. Great great song....even greater video!!!!! 👍
One could honestly say this is both the highest and lowest form of professionalism. To be able to crush it in key/on time/no noticeable mistakes is amazingly hard and the height of skill and being a professional.....yet flying so high on cocaine you throw your chair out of the way hope on the piano and play on the ground is wicked unprofessional. Absolutely amazing honestly.
To Sir Elton John...I hope Levi is doing well...my prayers go out to your family....thank you for all those beautiful songs your write...its Saturday 2014.... Love forever Pam and Tom Petty....xoxoxo
Lucky you that your born in the 50's... I'm born in the 80's and my first memory of Elton is Lionking.... That's just sad, because he had so many hits before that one. In many ways i would have liked to be born in the 50's.... Damn... =/
Loved Rock Elton it will be the performance I will always remember with a smile ,playing air guitar and jumping all over his piano-such a legend Sir Elton❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
One must stand back and marvel at the unbridles talent that is Elton. Sort of sublime and yet a mystery as to how one can rock so hard, yet be so cool under the white hot lime light. just a tad odd, Still hacking it out on a grand piano, instead of modern version on an elevated stand. That is just his style - I guess.
My wife and kid thought I was nuts when this song came on the radio. I cranked it up and was singing along, driving down the road. Been fun showing them good music lol
To all our fellow Elton John Fans....It is confirmed "Saturday's ALL RIGHT FOR FIGHTING...". And we mean business-All day long, into the night, and longer...Let's PARTY...the boys from West Hollywood drove all the way up here and checked into the Embassy Suites, where our other friends are getting the party prepared-LOTS of Kegs and bottles of beer at our Party. Of course, we're Russian, so there will be PLENTY of VODKA for everyone....But you can also bring your own...The more Vodka, the merrier.
Talent, it makes you do amazing things. ---- Wow. I think I went to the Texas version of this concert that year. It all looked very familiar. Including his wardrobe and his jumping on the piano and throwing his jacket off during that song. Who knows. But this was great.
named my 11ft long show bike yellow snow Detroit bike show had saturday night's alright for f--king on top of the tank. seen Elton live many times good memories
Joey Sahouria Hey Joey, I'm with you! Without this side of Elton, you can't properly understand who he is or any of the rest of his work. This is rock 'n roll.
When a friend of mine saw Elton for The One tour circa 1993, he said afterward "I wish Elton was back on the drugs because that was boring". That concert actually was boring.
He was inconsistent in playing live in the 80s. This happened to be one of the good ones. His cocaine either fueled on fire performances like this or ones where he forgot words to his songs and stared glassy eyed at his piano. I don’t think he played great at Live Aid.
One of the all-time great performances by Elton's dealer
Haha 😄
Top class comment 👏
Hahahahhha🤣🤣🤣
Im a long time fan (1972) and I laughed!
51 Jamaica street, Belfast Northern Ireland
What was that ?.......hahahaha !!!!😜😜😜
I grew up in the late 50s and I listened to the music from 1959 through the 1980’s
Coked out of his mind and still an epic perform
And I thought it was just the music and the strobe lights! LOL!
Feel the energy in this performance!! Puts todays music to shame!
Its from cocain 😂
That's Vitamin C man
WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY
EXACTLY
What day is it today
Haha Kingsman😂😂
Fuck you poppy!
angel~~~~~having fun
Kingsman The Golden Circle Brought me Here and i gotta tell you the scene when they use this song is fucking amazing!
MOZART THE SAME EFEN REASON I CAME HERE THAT MOVIE MADE ME REALIZE HE WAS EVEN SAYING SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL....................
Elton in his days back then, up with a lot of Vitamin C ! ; )
CallmeToddy Yeah, C for cocaine
@@SIGMAMAN69 Wow, you explained the joke and now it's even funnier 🙃
*guitar cover **th-cam.com/video/kT42IokO6vg/w-d-xo.html** : enjoy !*
"Uhh, shouldn't that be Saturday?"
"What day is it?"
"Wednesday"
"Exactly!"
Mert Ceylan I love kingsman 2 watch 100 times
I watched it millions of times and I still love it
*guitar cover **th-cam.com/video/kT42IokO6vg/w-d-xo.html** : enjoy !*
Yes, I was there that night in front of him. I can't forget for the rest of my life. Sure, it was a wonderful night.
This is just one of the best live shows i've ever seen in my life, it's so epic
I'm going to see Elton one last time on Saturday 28th November 2020.
Michael David going on the 4th December at the o2
Have fun its Realy fun !
Corona: OH I don't think so...
I had the same plans for September. Maybe if this is over...
How did it go?
What a powerhouse.
Thank you, Elton.....
@3:35: "when the coke finally kicks in" lol
I especially love how the cameraman just super nonchalantly ducks, then stands back up. Classic.
Nah...the coke kicked in @ 1:04 LOL
I’m only drunk but I definitely felt that!
The person who it hit...;-;
fantastic performance by Elton John and his band!
I was there and 19 years old. It was awesome!
Hot Damn... That's the best version I have ever heard...!!!
The only reason I am here is because Elton is such a legend. What a song and performance! Can't wait to see him live for the first time this year :D
Escobar smiling down from heaven at his success
im straight up terrified of this performance
Ok this is insane. I mean his performance gets crazier and more brilliant as the song goes on. But leading his band in a duck crawl and then lying underneath the piano while still playing it is a proper finish for frenetic performance like this one.
We may not all have this kind of talent....but man am I glad that this man shared his talent with the entire world. Great great song....even greater video!!!!! 👍
One of the best rock songs ever. Thanks for sharing this performance, it made me smile out loud :-)
How the fuck do you smile out loud? A smile is not a sound.
+Dennyleven touché
Nice.
First time I seen Elton without his glasses haha... GREAT PERFORMANCE!!!
My favorite version of the song!
Elton is a great performer, thanks for sharing!
Elton John coked outta his damn mind but they're all on fucking point! What a badass! Awesome performance and an awesome fucking song!!!

You know it's the 80s when Elton John looks the least gay of all the people on stage
On the other hand, Freddie Mercury looked the most gay and the most straight at the same time
GAMING LEGEND Heh, I would have said the same thing about Rob Halford (although he was still in the closet back then)
@@gaminglegend didn't expect you here
@@JourneyLiveCompilations What do you mean?
@@gaminglegend I didn't know you watch elton as well
The one and only mr elton john and his great band summer 1984
Coked up and smashing it - what rock n roll was all about.
Idk why but 2:28 is my favorite part when his voice goes high on the "get a little action in"
this man has talent
This concert and the one with Queen 1986 must be the two greatest both old and new Wembley has ever seen.
For me - the best version of this amazing song!!!!! Unbelievable!!!!! Super perfomance!!!!! For eternity..... Elton forever!!!!!!
Hockey Night in Canada uses this as an intro w/wicked montages on Saturdays sometimes...its awesome. Gets me hyped everytime!
Greatest rock and roll song ever! I saw him perform at Red Rocks and he is the quintessential showman! Sir Elton!!!!
To Sir Elton John...I hope Levi is doing well...my prayers go out to your family....thank you for all those beautiful songs your write...its Saturday 2014.... Love forever Pam and Tom Petty....xoxoxo
4:10 Rare Davey Johnstone piano moment
Lucky you that your born in the 50's... I'm born in the 80's and my first memory of Elton is Lionking.... That's just sad, because he had so many hits before that one. In many ways i would have liked to be born in the 50's.... Damn... =/
Lol I was born in 1998 and sometimes wish I had born in the 80's
"Born in the wrong generation".
I was born in 1956 and you are correct.
The 50s were a shitty decade. The 80s were a shitty decade. Your best bet is not wanting to be born at all.
50s? 70s was Elton, Doobies, Fleetwood...................
Loved Rock Elton it will be the performance I will always remember with a smile ,playing air guitar and jumping all over his piano-such a legend Sir Elton❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dee Murray, underrated bass player!

Best version of this Song !
Great concert. Sir Elton’s 1984 Wembley concert was his equivalent of Queen’s 1986 Wembley concert
To all our fellow Elton John Fans....It is confirmed "Saturday's ALL RIGHT FOR FIGHTING...". And we mean business-All day long, into the night, and longer...Let's PARTY...the boys from West Hollywood drove all the way up here and checked into the Embassy Suites, where our other friends are getting the party prepared-LOTS of Kegs and bottles of beer at our Party.

He will definitely make it to the big stage one day
God I love him. 600th comment too
Wow, fast tempo! I worry that my band plays it too fast, but we are nowhere near this pace! Exciting performance. Great band!
+SILVERMINE Band the whole show was 100mph
+SILVERMINE Band Cocaine is a hell of a drug lol
Dee Murray! Thumping 🤙

Love how the song gets faster and faster as it goes on. Lots of nose pinching, too 🙂
He still does it nowadays
named my 11ft long show bike yellow snow Detroit bike show had saturday night's alright for f--king on top of the tank. seen Elton live many times good memories
One of my favorite versions of one of my favorite songs. When a huge band goes into overdrive...well, that's a show!!!
Love how the Who made a cover of this. It rocks!
someone post this version on spotify
no seriously someone post this version on spotify
+JJ O'Keefe YES PLEASE
The misheard lyrics are interesting for this one; "Drink a little drink and shout obscenities."
His best concert from the 80s. This show has to be released on DVD on its enterity and with bonus
I miss this Elton John.
Joey Sahouria Hey Joey, I'm with you! Without this side of Elton, you can't properly understand who he is or any of the rest of his work. This is rock 'n roll.
Joey Sahouria The coke-head?
When a friend of mine saw Elton for The One tour circa 1993, he said afterward "I wish Elton was back on the drugs because that was boring". That concert actually was boring.
Any Elton john live song sounds like mariokart at 1.75x speed
Stand on those keys, Hercules!
WOW what an Entertainer.
Elton is the best thing since Rock. There will NEVER be anyone like him. PERIOD.
What a showman! I love watching him with BJ (Billy Joel, that is).
I love hearing Dee Murray thank the crowd at the end of the song- "Whoa, thank you Wembley Arena."
Que du bonheur cet artiste
Elton John's incendiary phase, that's total Jerry Lee Lewis. My favorite era of Sir Elton John.
gta5 showed me this ANGEL!
What a f***ing talent, man…
DarkSoul99 xXx Dumbass.
A real sexual anger permeates this performance.
He was still in the closet when he wrote this, maybe that’s why.
@@SongbirdGaming can't blame the poor guy.. back then, it could get ya killed :/
@@SpXPtwn oh of course, I’m not blaming him.
Kingsman.
Love elton he has a heart as heaven.
Sublime performance!!!
This may have been the most electrifying and fantastic 6 minutes of my life.
30 years & Elton john's still got it
Nearly 40 now, can you believe it?
A god amongst men.
Elton John is the kind of guy that will drink till he drops and will get into any fight he can! Oops sorry had sarcasm lock on!
back in those days he was a booze-hound though so no need for sarcasm
Elton had said that Freddie could out do him, now that's saying something
love the ''getting late'' the rough voice
Great song. Too bad you can't find the studio version on YT anymore.
Wow he was so young! great song!
he really loves that microphone:)
I need another legend...He says I am GREENLIGHT...
Spandex and big hair. This is the epitome of the 80s lol
Great sound!
Best thing in the world.
The 80s version of Elton John most entertaining XD
"The Tide is High" by Blondie...Play it in CONJUNCTION with this song, SATURDAY NIGHT'S ALL RIGHT FOR FIGHTING...
My 7-year old just said that "He seems kind of weird, but cool." She nailed Sir Elton.
Singing faster than most modern rappers
So many great people were in Wembly in ‘84, name a few anyone?
I love this man!!
Wednesday night alright
As a DJ it is my mission to create the ultimate WALL OF SOUND, so cherished a concept by Phil Spector...MUSIC VIDEOS SUCH AS THESE FILL THE BILL.
I still have such a crush on Elton:)
This is the most 80s thing ive ever seen
wish half the bands today had this stage presence.
This Rock 'n'Roll guys !!!!!! And i love it like that !!!!
This is what you call a performance on fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This should have been his Live Aid set up! He would've outdone Queen then!
He was inconsistent in playing live in the 80s. This happened to be one of the good ones. His cocaine either fueled on fire performances like this or ones where he forgot words to his songs and stared glassy eyed at his piano. I don’t think he played great at Live Aid.
First question on the job application for being in John Elton’s band..... #1. Can you keep up with Elton John.
This guys legacy will live on forever.
Hail elton john the kingsman
Damn his backflip in the movie
he had a tenor voice for 39 yrs over half of his life expectancy
Best rock n roll musician ever
