This is an interesting time for Elton. He was promoting The Road to El Dorado, so he was performing "Someday Out of the Blue" everywhere, including playing El Dorado songs he doesn't normally play with the band - some he likely hadn't played since he wrote them. Here, he's promoting Aida again - a year after the concept album - to coincide with the Broadway debut. So he plays this track, which I believe is the ONLY time he ever played it live. And he wrote this in 1996, so he probably hadn't played it in 4 years. Yet, vocally, he's perfect and you'd assume he'd been doing it for years. The upshot is he was doing so many songs this year he normally doesn't do, but he nails them all. (Search his great cover of Free Man in Paris which he also did this year, not to mention the obscure tracks done at One Night Only shows in October '00).
This is the only Elton John song I've ever heard where I can understand every word he sings.......and it is a great song I can associate with on a personal level.
@@davidhallahan1928 I've been a fan for 27 years...and seen him in concert 5 times! But still, lyrics dont always sound very clear to me...especially Taupin...because his poems are very sophisticated.
How have I come to this How did I slip and fall How did I throw half a lifetime away Without any thought at all This should've been my time It's over, it never began Facing a world, for once not on my side I simply turned and ran I try to blame it on fortune Some kind of shift in a star But I know the truth and it haunts me It's flown just a little too far I know the truth and it mocks me I know the truth and it shocks me It's flown just a little too far People have faith in me I once did too I promise whoever has a hold on our lives I'll see the bad times through This should have been my time It's over, it never began Facing a world, for once not on my side I simply turned and ran I try to blame it on fortune Some kind of twist in my fate But I know the truth and it haunts me I learned it a little too late I know the truth and it mocks me I know the truth and it shocks me, Oh oh yeah- I learned it a little too late I try to blame it on fortune Some kind of twist in my fate I know the truth and it haunts me I learned it a little too late
Excelente. Pena que não obedeça a Deus. Gostaria muito que realmente soubesse a verdade... Poderia usar de maneira maravilhosamente melhor seu gênio e vida.
@@davidhallahan1928 Thought he,ad lib it really well. My piano teacher always said if you make a mistake keep playing,it will probably turn out better than what you were meant to play.

Jake McKay you need to listen to more of his music ... do yourself a favour.

Elton John you're the best you always be in my heart love you Elton
Beautiful lyrics and melody!
Bellísima canción...y Elton canta como los dioses...
Simply amazing! One of my favourite performances!
I had completely forgotten about this song. Probably best song on Aida and performed perfectly here.
Cameron Dawson Elton’s Demos are better than the show, but the show was wonderful live on broadway
Great song. Great performance. 21 years old.
This song always makes me sad but I always want to hear it. It's a beautiful song
Rice wrote the words, but Sir Elton really delivers.
I can't live without this song...........
One of my all time favourite performances the words mean a lot to me 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This one came from inside heart. Great Elton John.
My all time favorite.
God delivered me, here. The TRUTH will set us free.
You have done so much, good sir. Please, no regrets.

MA-GNI-FIQUE !!!!
magnificent
How have I come to this
How did I slip and fall
How did I throw half a lifetime away
Without any thought at all
This should've been my time
It's over, it never began
Facing a world, for once not on my side
I simply turned and ran
I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of shift in a star
But I know the truth and it haunts me
It's flown just a little too far
I know the truth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me
It's flown just a little too far
People have faith in me
I once did too
I promise whoever has a hold on our lives
I'll see the bad times through
This should have been my time
It's over, it never began
Facing a world, for once not on my side
I simply turned and ran
I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of twist in my fate
But I know the truth and it haunts me
I learned it a little too late
I know the truth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me,
Oh oh yeah- I learned it a little too late
I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of twist in my fate
I know the truth and it haunts me
I learned it a little too late
Maravilha! EJ é incomparável!
Amazing performance ! Thank you !
Muito Bom ;)
Grande Pibe, mas por ser soundtrack de La Nena de Don Arturo!!!
Two people don't know the truth......
Pessoal do karaokê faça o karaokê dessa música aí
What album is this gem off?
AIDA, the musical he rewrote.
Eu sei a verdade
Excelente. Pena que não obedeça a Deus. Gostaria muito que realmente soubesse a verdade... Poderia usar de maneira maravilhosamente melhor seu gênio e vida.
schön.weich.danke
Great song but did anyone notice the bum note he played?
Awesome song
He flubbed the chord at :55
Gordon Liddy let’s accentuate the one flaw will we?
