With the only possible exception of The Rolling Stones, Elton John is the most amazing musical performer of all-time. The man has been a musical icon for over 40 years!! NOBODY will ever match that :)
Elton is an amazing singer, just saw him in my home town, a once and a life concert. I agree he is a gift. Such an experience the whole place with every one enjoying the songs just sparkled with love for him. Awesome.!!!
Elton was fan friggin' tastic in Victoria (Canada) a few nights ago! A lot more sedate than he used be-but a CLASS ACT! Wouldn't have missed it for anything!
i wouldnt say his voice got "better" but it's still great in its own way its more POWERFUL than it was when he was younger wich i like. i pissed off that he had duets in this concert i mean jesus one night only 27 greatest hits at the garden we wanna see ONLY him (and his band) come on elton
Elton was the world's most successful star when he came out as bisexual in the mid 70s, and after 7 #1 albums in the US hasn't had another there since. Of course this shows he was widely loved by straight fans but homophobia is still so strong in the 21st century his sexuality is held against him! So many people deterred from his music either from being homophobic or worrying what others might think of them!! His talent has been phenomenal
@DarkShadowMegadeth Bernie Taupin actually wrote the lyrics for a girl he met in Southern California while Elton was out there doing one of his early American concerts :)
i totally agree about the voice. it'll never be better than the original, but he sounds like he's putting more emotion into the lyrics. eric clapton is much the same way in his concerts nowadays. unfortunately i haven't watched the rest of the show, is it on youtube?
It's what happens as people age. So, couple the natural effects of aging with decades of singing, and you get pretty dramatic changes in the the voice.
sorry dezolis - his voice may be more rounded, but it's exactly the same key and pitch.see the version posted by fnordius. his voice (and the rexording equipment!) was so much 'thinner' in 1971
I go back and forth from his first performance of this song live... to this one. First one is so much better. Why avoid the high tone??? We know he has the voice... it's what we want to hear.
@cletusbigtoe Your friends' reaction is the ridiculous reason Elton's greatness isn't more widely acknowledged and why his sales aren't what they could be, though i'm hopeful his great new album The Union will be successful and make liking his music less stigmatised. What a shallow world we live in, the music should be judged on its merits but feeble souls are more bothered about image. Of course there are many millions of straight fans so you can put your friends right on that.
how can a man who made "madman across the water" turn out to sound, look and generally creep everyone out with his attitude" still manage to be alive???
Hey Elton remember 33 years ago when Marina S sent you a poem called BLUE JEAN BABY HER TITLE ON CB AND SHE HAD THE WORDS DANCING IN THE SAND; THANKS FOR NOT ACKNOWLEDGING HER AND PAYING ZIPP ALL. She was 17 and sent you this poem Quote "My Marina" thanks for stealing her song.

My Brothers were huge EJ fans during his early-mid 70's heyday..Listening to songs like these brings back childhood memories for me.
Love his piano music....
Amazing - can this guy sing and play!

6+ minutes of perfection
....you are very young to be having this type of music, but I thank you for letting me listen to the music that I grew up with!!!!
Elton is an amazing singer, just saw him in my home town, a once and a life concert. I agree he is a gift. Such an experience the whole place with every one enjoying the songs just sparkled with love for him. Awesome.!!!
Awsome performance from a great artist. The drummer Nigel olsson is superb.
It's hard to sum up how deeply this song touches me and why it makes me cry. Thank You, Sir Elton John! It's like you know me!
What's to say , he's absolutely fantastic. Great performer . love his music I will never get tired of listening to it.
Im 18. Im straight. And I loved Elton John since I was born (My parents use to play his music all the time.)
John Jorgenson switches instruments so easily. He's one of the finest guitar players anywhere. Amazing band.
And God doesn't make mistakes, so they are the way they are for a reason.
thank you elton for inspiring people...
Best elton song, hands down
Love his piano music....
SIR ELTON JOHN IS FANTASTIC !
Elton was fan friggin' tastic in Victoria (Canada) a few nights ago! A lot more sedate than he used be-but a CLASS ACT! Wouldn't have missed it for anything!
This song is great and Elton is a great guy he was great friends with Cynthia Lennon before and after her divorce with John Lennon
I love you Elton John!

true true
I'm really surprised when listening to his old records - his voice now and then is very diffirent. But i think it's better now
@NYhunter4 He actually is. This does not affect me though, I still think he's incredible.
Well done
It's what happens as people age. So, couple the natural effects of aging with decades of singing, and you get pretty dramatic changes in the the voice.
i love how he mentioned almost famous.
You'll marry a music man...
I don't think so..but I like it.
X3

just cause you like elton john dosnt make you gay the ppl calling you gay for listening it are the ones who are gay
I go back and forth from his first performance of this song live... to this one. First one is so much better. Why avoid the high tone??? We know he has the voice... it's what we want to hear.
he sounded so much better in the 70s
Elton -3
his voice;'o
@ilililhy "handing tickets out for God" are the correct lyrics... just to make things straight ;)

So is Elton the one who wrote this song? Because i really like it! Please someone tell me.
hold me closer tiny syrupp
Who was the second guitarist in his band at the time rockin' the pedal steel?
yeah he does, just look at the mullet
how can a man who made "madman across the water" turn out to sound, look and generally creep everyone out with his attitude" still manage to be alive???
maybe, but he still sounds good I think.
@zephranna01 Yeah I believe he does love this song but sorry to disagree I think Elton's signature song is Your Song, just my opinion.
@NYhunter4 Yeah, so?
when he got older his voice got worse but he still is great i think he was better 9 years ago
Anybody know why Elton is never center stage? He is always off to the left or right, never in the center...
@bohemianspiritmn God!?
Seriously...does it get any better? methinks not. xx
No, my friend, he gave that to us so we can laugh at it.
nice wig
his voiced changed, but my love for this song didnt. fucking great

He had throat surgery in the early 90s. He has to sing in a lower key now.
@bohemianspiritmn who cares its music kid
john frusciante :))
@NYhunter4 yeah, hes gay. which makes him even cooler :D
@bulldogsnbostons But if he's gay then he must suck, unless he is just a greedy reciever - musically he's great.
I dont like the fake hair...but the guy sure can sing.
And on the gay note. Elton is Bi-sexual. Means he does girls also. Just a little bit more support in his favor. :)
He is so good but the backup singers stink and almost ruin the sound !
Gay
